Confetti

Hi Lainey just a thought how about rose petals instead less messy and more expensive for people to buy - suggest that to your OH's family that if they insist on throwing some form of confetti shower it has to be petals and not the paper stuff! xx

Thanks for your suggestion but I dont want any confetti at all, i already stated on the invite no confetti but they are trying to do it anyway, im trying to think of a way to get through to them to stop them! Part of me just feels like I should let them have there way and spare me the arguements but I really dont want any

Hand out bubble blowers instead! As long as they dont get too close to the dress.

My friend had petals thrown at her, & most of her photos have bits of red rose stuck in her hair, in the bow across her dress & 1 looks like her nipple is coming out the top of her strapless dress! They really look dreadful. This was before we could pick it all off & have photos done again. I wont be having any either.

Bubble blowers, yes thats it, that will go with my wedding theme (west ham!) thanks Teal!

Tell them it was on the invite for a reason! I know some venues are very strict on it and dont allow it. Dont let on that its not the venue tho! Im quite happy for confetti at mine but I do know people who have had bubbles instead...if you wanted to compromise a bit with them!

Thats well clever!

Why not tell a little white lie and say the venue doesnt allow confetti.....!??

I agree, tell them it's the venue's rules - there are loads of venues won't allow it now because of the clean up afterwards. You could maybe even have a word with the co-ordinator at the venue and ask them to play along with it on the day. Alternatively, have a bit of a bridezilla on them and say anyone throwing anything at the bride and groom on the day will be asked to leave - family or not! Where does your OH stand on this?

I know what you mean about confetti, i REALLY don;t want it at mine, for the exact same reasons as you, why spend all that time getting ready to have someone throw paper at you 20 minutes later.

I'm going to put on my invites that the venue doesn't allow confetti to try and encourage people not to bring it.

Stick to your guns hun and make your OH tell his family NO confetti.

Bubbles! We have a historic building that doesn't allow confetti so we are getting bubbles. We are buying maybe 4/5 of the electronic blowers for certain people to make a big cloud of them then cheap little pots of bubbles for the guests. Should make for some good pictures especially of people's faces! Much more eco friendly too 😊
