Bubble confetti? Now with a *flash*!

I quite like the idea of bubbles but I'd be worried about them popping on my dress and leaving a mark. Not sure if that's just me being a worry wort or if it does happen. Venue is beautiful by the way!

We had a mixture of bubbles and confetti and it did work.

I don't have any photos on this computer but the bubbles did show up on the photos so obviously there were enough. It's really not that hard to puff the bubbles out, I mean little kids can do it?! Just get a bottle per guest. We had the champagne-shaped ones.

Also they didn't stain my dress at all, but it was quite a dark ivory so maybe that made a difference.

I think I am a bit worried about the lack of bubbles as there will only be 17 people blowing them. I fear they may also look a bit 'special' in the pictures.

Not too fussed about marks on the dress, it's pretty much water and they will dry.

Flowergirl has piped up with 'I learnt to blow bubbles at nursery last week, so I am really good at it Auntie Ducky.' And BIL has offered (slightly too enthusiastically) to be a bubble-gun holder. I think they have answered my question!

Sounds like it will be a fun part of your wedding! You could get everyone a gun!

I think they look nice in pictures - have a look at some of these

We're having bubbles too as we cant have confetti x

My friend had it at her wedding and to be honest, it's a little bit fiddly if it's windy, but it's a lot of fun and looks good in the photographs

You can get bubble guns for £1! Or 24 guns for £18 on this site:

I'll have a shop around but I thought they would cost more than that. Bubble guns all round I think!

This is true and you need to get all the puffers upwind....Do though have control of the origin of the solution as some can stain. Other problems is when they are used near to dance floors as this can cause the floor to become slippery. Also do some trial runs before buying a lot. Some are rubbish at bubbles and more solution gets blown rather than bubbles, which again can be a stain problem.

When done well

, it does create a very good photographic opportunity....

Do you know the ingredient(s) that stain so I can look out for it rather that buy test bubbles and blob it on my clothes to wait and see!

My lovely Mum showing how well the bubble guns work... not sure I need 20 now though.

They look fab- thanks for the link. As we're getting married by the beach (sort of) was looking at the fish ones -but can I really justify spending the extra hmmmmmmm

These are fab! Where did u get them from in the end? x

OMG They are amazing!!!!! wish they did them in something other than pink lol!! hmmmm me thinks i should be heading to dragons den lol!!

Ducky did you actually but your bubble guns from here in the end? I think I may have to go down the bubble route seeing as any confetti we use needs to be swept up after ? I may get some guns and then some normal bottles...

No I got clear ones in the end and can't remember where from!! I'll have a look in my emails.

Mine light up and play a siren noise. Made my mum chuckle!
