confetti cones??

I have around 80 adults and I'm making 50 as I got 50 organza bags of confetti (dried rose petals) off eBay for a bargain £6 so making my own cones...here's a sneak

If I'm honest I think only the ladies will be interested lol xx

Can I ask 2015bride88 which ebay seller you used for your dried rose petal confetti? £6 is such a bargain!!!

I love these ones from a recent wedding? I would say about 70% of guests had cones
.

60 would probably be enough. The other thing I've seen, that I thought worked better, was one large basket of petals. This was taken around by an usher (just like you would with cones) and everyone grabbed a handful.

For me, 50 is enough.

Thanks everyone! will prob do around 60! the men wont be fussed if don't get one.

Hi it was a lady just selling off one lot from a wedding, never used. Although my colours plum these roses are reds/pinks and cream I couldn't resist bargain so hope the petal confetti colour doesn't matter. Sorry I couldn't help. I looked before I bought these and they were really expensive buying bulk bags. Have you thought about what others are doing and do the dried rose confetti yourself xx

I sometimes feel silly on this board, so many things i'm not clued up on yet! But i thought guests bring their own confetti? I've never been to a wedding where it's handed out, but it must make for a nicer picture with so much of it. Is it a casual 'take a cone so we can do a photo please' when organising guests?

Thanks. I knew it was too good to be true!! I had a quick look at prices and you're right, the bulk buy stuff is still quite expensive. I will have to give this one some thought! I would quite like to put a packet on each chair in the ceremony room rather than rely on people picking some up on the way past! I might have to ask our registrar to remind people. I think most guests forget to bring confetti of their own, and as I really do like the effects it gives on photographs, I do think I want to add it to our "must haves" even if it is an extra expense for us.

Yeah it wouldn't have been something I'd of thought id do but but the past 2 weddings I've been too people were sharing bought confetti so wasn't a lot to use. I think personal touches are what gets people talking xx

Purplecake, some guests do bring confetti, but sometimes only one or 2 guests bring any. If you want a nice confetti shot you need plenty of it.

Also, you need to check what kind is permitted at the venue. A venue may specify real petals, so if your guests have brought plastic confetti they can't throw it.

I have just finished doing my confetti cone basket. I just went to the principle of filling the basket with cones and it would be first come first served. I think a lot of people will bring their own anyway, so it's just a token gesture for those who don't so we can get a nice confetti photo.

Quick flash below. Obviously the cones will be full of flower petal confetti, but I am leaving that until the last minute!

I guess stick with the palest of colours to avoid staining. Some on ebay specifically state that they are colourfast in case of rain.

Oh I never thought what I've bought is a mix of deep red/pinks and cream dried petals, crushed up.i hope it won't stain, maybe I should wet some and test? xx
