The most-asked question in our inbox, answered with math, a calculator, and zero judgment.
It's the question we get more than any other. More than "does it really melt?" More than "can I get it by Saturday?" (Please don't make us answer that one on a Thursday.)
So here's the honest answer, based on what we've seen across more than 6,000 weddings.
The rule of thumb
Plan for about 400g of confetti for every 60 guests. That gives each guest one generous handful for a classic toss.
Want the kind of send-off where your photographer yells "AGAIN!"? Bump it up by about 50%. We call that the Epic Photo Moment, and nobody has ever regretted it.
Quick cheat sheet
- 50 guests: about 400g for a classic toss + 180g bag to make it epic
- 100 guests: about 800g classic + add a 180g bag to make it epic
-
150 guests: about 800g + 400g
We built a Confetti Calculator that does it for you. Slide to your guest count, pick your toss style, and it tells you exactly which bags to grab.
One more tip
Hand it out in our aspen wood cones or vellum envelopes. Each cone holds the perfect handful, so nobody hoards and nobody gets shorted. They also look great in photos and double as a little keepsake.
Shop the confetti when you're ready.
