The term "confetti" refers to several pieces of paper, mylar or metallic material which is usually tossed at special events, especially weddings. Confetti is created in a wide variety of colors, and also available in imaginative shapes and styles. There is a very large distinction between confetti and glitter. Glitter is smaller than confetti (pieces usually no larger than 1mm) and is universally shiny. Most general table confetti is also shiny. While it is referred to as metallic confetti, it is actually metallized pvc. The most popular shape of confetti is the star. Seasonally, Snowflake Confetti is the most requested shape. While confetti is extremely popular for weddings, it is also commonly used at other social events such as Bar Mitzvahs, anniversaries, birthday parties, baby showers and more!Many wedding receptions feature confetti scattered across tables. Many brides also prefer confetti be tossed instead of rise as it gives more shimmer.
By tradition, the Italian confetti (sugar coated almonds) are given out at weddings and baptisms (white coating), or graduations (red coating). These gifts are often wrapped in a small tulle bag to give as a favor to the guests. For a wedding, they are said to represent the hope that the new couple will have a fertile marriage.
