Confetti

Scatter the Joy with Confetti for Reveals, Aisles and Photo Moments

Confetti is the quickest way to turn a good moment into a great one. It looks incredible in photos, makes a room feel festive and gives guests a shared “wow” to talk about later. Our range covers everything from handheld confetti cannons to delicate petal confetti, practical table confetti and kid-friendly licensed confetti that ties straight into your theme.

Choose your effect

Confetti cannons

For the big burst, handheld cannons are the hero. The 30 cm size suits lounges and smaller halls, while 60 cm fills larger rooms, stages and outdoor decks. Most use compressed air, not flames, so set-up is simple. Aim slightly above the crowd, count down together and twist to launch. Tissue pieces give a floating, slow-fall effect; metallic foil confetti catches the lights for dramatic sparkle.

Table confetti

Perfect for subtle styling. Sprinkle a light trail down the centre of tables, around candles, or across the cake station. Mix hearts, stars or circles with small number shapes for milestone birthdays. A pinch per place setting is usually enough; you want shimmer, not clutter.

Petal confetti

For weddings, engagements and romantic shoots, petal confetti is a timeless choice. Soft whites, blush and ivory look beautiful against suits and dresses, and the natural shapes create a gentle, fluttering fall. Hand out cones to guests or line the aisle with a basket for your attendants.

Licensed kids’ confetti

Bring the theme together with licensed kids’ party confetti that matches the plates and balloons. Barbie pinks, Avengers brights, Mickey and Minnie polka dots or Disney Princess pastels help the whole setting feel coordinated without extra work. Build the scene with matching ranges in theme parties.

Match the moment

Weddings: Petal confetti for the aisle, ivory tissue for the first dance, and a little metallic on the reception tables. Pair with soft accents from party backdrops.

Gender reveals: Keep cannons wrapped until the countdown, then pink or blue tissue does the talking. Finish with gender reveal balloons.

Milestone birthdays: Black and gold foil confetti with number shapes for 18th, 21st or 30th photos. Explore milestone party ideas.

Kids’ birthdays: Licensed mixes scattered lightly on the dessert table and a small cannon for the final cheer. Add coordinating accents from birthday decorations.

School formals and presentations: Streamlined metallic mixes for stage photos; streamer cannons if you need a quick clean-up. For ceremonies, see Graduation.

New Year’s Eve: Tissue and foil together for a long, sparkly fall at midnight. Build a countdown corner with party decorations.

Indoors, outdoors and clean-up

Indoors, check with the venue first. Use 30 cm cannons in smaller rooms and avoid aiming across chandeliers or fans. Streamer-style cannons land in longer ribbons that are easier to gather. Outdoors, biodegradable tissue confetti is the smart pick for lawns and courtyards. Keep clear of pools and garden beds, and have a couple of tubs or bags ready so helpers can pitch in with the tidy.

For tables, a handheld vacuum or sticky roller collects leftovers fast. On dance floors, a wide broom does the trick between sets. Keep a helper kit handy with party essentials.

Colour and quantity tips

Pick two main colours and one accent so your photos look cohesive. Tissue absorbs light for soft tones; foil reflects light for punch. As a guide, two 60 cm cannons create a strong focal burst for a standard dance floor. For a wide room, place pairs at opposite corners and fire a second apart for a longer cascade. On tables, start with one small sachet of confetti per 1.5 metres and add a little more only if you need extra sparkle.

Easy ways to use confetti beyond the burst

Slip a pinch of table confetti into invitation envelopes for a playful surprise.

Fill clear balloons with tissue pieces for a gentle flutter when popped.

Add a sachet to party bags so the fun continues at home.

Line confetti cones in a basket by the ceremony exit so guests can grab and go.

Tuck a few pieces around cupcake stands and photo frames to tie the styling together. Style with accents like cake stands or a simple banner.

Safe and simple

Confetti is straightforward, but a few habits keep it smooth. Always aim cannons upwards and away from faces, lights and sprinklers. Keep little ones at arm’s length from the launcher and let adults handle the twist. If you are in a shared hall, tape a small “launch zone” on the floor so your photographer can frame the shot. For hanging trims around the area, consider hanging decorations.

Storage and reuse

Keep sealed bags of table confetti and petals in a cool, dry tub. Foil strands like to be stored flat. If you have cannons left over, store them upright, away from heat, and check labels before the next event.

From the aisle walk to the final countdown, the right confetti makes your moment feel bigger, brighter and more memorable. Choose your mix, plan your countdown and get ready for the kind of photos everyone will want to share.
