Confetti

What. a. nobber!

This is why MEN and wedding planning don't mix! ? How would it be 'pathetic'?? Rudeness.

You may want to check that your venue allows it though; some don't.

Your boss sounds like a prize idiot!! Yep it's a great idea, not as many people think to bring confetti now, so definitely worth buying a few boxes yourself ?

God bloody men! What do they know! I'm supplying my guests with confetti in cones, it could be though i'm a control freak and want all the same lol x x x x

Well your boss sounds fun!

Im providing confetti in cones to my guests because I want it all to look the same because I'm a bit weird like that. The last 3 weddings I've been to provided confetti too.

I'm going to supply my own. At the weddings I've been to recently not many people have brought it and I love it. I'm having dried petals though so they will bio-degrade. Plus it will give my nieces something to do when they hand it out to guests.

Wow, yeah I would say typical guy there.

yeah people forget that stuff. I would agree people hear saying double check with your venue. I'm thinking of ribbon streamer and flags (saves mess)

Thanks for your replies, you have really re-assured me that I am not being some kind of crazy overzealous bridezilla wanting to make sure everyone who wants confetti has it.

I try no to talk about my wedding at work because he is so negative about everything. I pity his daughter when she gets married!

My venue are fine with confetti so long as it is biodegradable, which my confetti is (mixture of dried and frozen rose petals) so that's all good.

Thanks again, think I just needed a dose of positivity

What a dickhead boss! It's pretty common to provide your own confetti, I've seen it done, and I've also seen weddings where only one guest remembered to bring confetti so it's fine to provide your own. Sometimes it's also to ensure your confetti meets tghe venue regulations. Sorry I can't believe your boss said that...

As so many venues have differing rules about confetti now I think guests tend to err on the side of caution and leave the confetti at home. It makes sense to bring your own so you're guaranteed the pretty confetti shot.

My cousin and friend both supplied their own confetti at their weddings - not pathetic at all! Get a BM or usher to hand it out before the photos and you're sorted. Good one for being organised and thinking of it!

I would say sod everyone else... its your day. If you want everyone to throw confetti over you, then provide it! You know if it is there people will use it!

If you want to supply it...you supply it ;-) its your day do what will make you happy!

Were not allowed confetti at our venue so we are providing fresh rose petals for guests x

I wouldn't take confetti as not all places allow it so I think it's brilliant if you provide it (which I will do also) plus it will be in the colour you want (control freak in me) :-)

Can I ask where did you buy your confetti from and how much was it? I have been looking into buying confetti and making confetti cones but it seems to be working out a lot more expensive than I thought it would x

You are right it does seem expensive. Luckily for me I was given mine by a friend who didn't want it. I just had to buy one tub as a top up from Amazon. It was £10ish for a pint of frozen petals which seems like a lot to me....

Mine cost 14p per cone for 48. I brought some paper dollies cut them in half and filled with bio-degardable confetti brought off ebay, they do look hand made but they still look quite pretty x

I have bought some quite thick doilies and i'm making them into cones and then filling them with confetti, it cost £2 for the doilies then it will just be whatever for the petals, or paper confetti
