Short answerThe first dance, the midnight countdown, a grand entrance, a gender reveal or the moment an award is announced.

More about confetti cannons

The best moment is usually one with a clear build-up, because confetti works best when everyone knows something is about to happen. A countdown is ideal: the crowd is looking in the same direction, the tension rises, and the burst lands right on cue. The same goes for a reveal or an award announcement, where the confetti becomes the full stop on the news. A first dance or a grand entrance works well too, and it looks brilliant in photos and videos, so tell your photographer what you have planned.

If you'd like guests to be part of it, handheld confetti shooters let everyone join in rather than just watch. A cannon gives you one big shared burst, while shooters spread the fun around the room.

Whichever moment you choose, check your venue is happy with confetti before you book. Prices start from £45 including VAT, and we deliver, set up and collect. Delivery is priced by distance and shown in the instant quote, and a 25% deposit secures your date.
