Confetti Cannon How-to's FAQs
Confetti Cannon How-to's FAQs
-
Q: How do you use a confetti cannon indoors?
A: Always check ceiling height and venue rules first. Use biodegradable tissue confetti for easier cleanup, and angle cannons at a safe upward direction away from guests and lighting rigs.
-
Q: How much confetti do I need for my event?
A: It depends on your venue size and effect type. As a rule of thumb, 1 pound of confetti fills a stage blast, while continuous-flow cannons can consume several pounds per minute for longer effects.
-
Q: Are confetti cannons safe to use?
A: Yes — when used properly. All professional cannons are designed with flame-retardant confetti and streamers. Always follow instructions, maintain safe distances, and use CO₂ cartridges or tanks as directed.
-
Q: Should I rent or buy a confetti cannon?
Yes, our handheld confetti cannons are incredibly easy to use. They're simple to load, reload, and operate with just a straightforward pull of the trigger.
