Venue doesn’t allow confetti

Josh, 10 June, 2024 at 21:54 Posted on Etiquette and Advice 0 7
Getting married in 2025 and our venue doesn’t allow confetti of any kind, whether biodegradable or not. Are there any effective alternatives? We’re not a fan of the idea of bubbles and I feel like sparklers might be too much of a faff to light them all in time. Any advice appreciated.

    A great idea, but they don’t allow anything at all to be thrown. They’ve said they wouldn’t be able to clear up before the next wedding

    I shot a wedding who used pompoms, ended up in a big fight which was fun Smiley xd

    Or maybe little wands with streamers on them waving them about might look good - also fun and you can DIY them. Or you could actually just not have anything - nothing wrong with that at all.

    Over the years confetti has changed from taking a photo of the confetti throw to -- throwing confetti FOR a confetti shot.

    I wonder if you could go ask to outside to a separate area even if it’s kind of round the back if they’d allow tiny dried flower petals that would blow away in the wind and have a small amount so it wouldn’t leave any mess?
