How much Biodegradable paper or petal Confetti do I need?

The most commonly asked question we hear all the time from our clients is "how much Confetti do I need?"  For petal confetti, if you are using the litre rule, for every 10 guests you have you will need 1 Litre of Wedding Confetti; for larger petals this number changes to 8 guests per litre of petals.

Wedfetti's Snow Petals and very small petals will give you up to 20 x small servings per litre as these petals are small and resemble the size of some paper confetti.

Petal confetti is usually measured in Litres rather than grams as petal sizes and weights can vary.

Here at Wedfetti we do occasionally use the litre of confetti method, but also to make things easier and more accurate, we use the Wedfetti palmfull & Wedfetti handfull. 

Let me explain, a palmfull of Biodegradable confetti petals is enough to sit comfortably in the palm of your hand, giving the most standard and popular confetti portion size, where as a handful is enough biodegradable Confetti petals to create a mountain in your hand, the handful of petals is most suitable of you are allowing your guests to help themselves to wedding confetti from a basket etc.. 

Choosing your paper confetti

Biodegradable tissue paper confetti is available in a choice of quantities. Rather than relying on a fixed gram-to-guest calculation, think about the effect you would love to create: a light sprinkle or a full, joyful confetti shower.

Consider whether guests will collect confetti from a basket or receive individual packets, whether everyone will throw together, and whether you would like extra for another throw. For a fuller shower or more than one confetti moment, allow extra when choosing your order.

If you would like help choosing your paper confetti and packaging, tell us about your celebration and the effect you have in mind.

If we've won you over and you decide to purchase your Biodegradable paper wedding confetti from Wedfetti, here's a few tips, 

Biodegradable Paper Confetti circles can often press together, so the aim is to fluff them up and separate the circles,  if this is not done the paper confetti may weigh heavier and you could be missing out on that all important slow falling Biodegradable paper confetti effect for that perfect confetti shot, we make sure to fluff your confetti up before it reaches you, and if purchasing Biodegradable confetti packets, we will make sure this is done before we fill your packets.

If deciding to fill your own Biodegradable Confetti packets, or using other methods of distribution, we recommend popping your paper confetti into a sealed Tupperware or jar and giving it a good shake! Especially if your purchasing your Biodegradable paper confetti in advance, a good shake right before use will bring your Biodegradable paper confetti to life!
