🎆 Plan Your Confetti Effect — Timing, Angles & Pure Magic

When bursts of color fill the air and the crowd gasps in wonder — that’s That Confetti Feeling.

It’s the shared spark of awe that turns any celebration into a memory that lives forever.

This guide shows you how to plan your confetti effect — from timing and angles to materials and cannon types — so every burst lands beautifully and feels unforgettable.

Every awe-inspiring moment begins with timing, color, and motion in harmony.
A confetti effect is more than decoration — it’s choreography in color, engineered to move hearts as much as it moves air.

✨ Here’s how to plan it:

1. Define the Moment: Identify your key cue — grand entrance, first dance, concert drop, or finale.
   
2. Choose Your Cannon Type: Stage, Electric, Continuous Flow, or Disposable.
3. Sync the Timing: Align your burst with music, lighting, or a visual cue.
4. Set Your Angles: 45° upward for floating drift; vertical for raining shimmer.
5. Select the Material:

• Tissue Confetti — light and photo-perfect.
• Metallic Confetti — reflective and dramatic under lights.
• Eco-Tissue — biodegradable for outdoor celebrations.

⚡ Pro Tip: Fire a single test shot during setup to confirm coverage, drift, and cue timing.

The art of a confetti burst lies in precision.
Your launch direction and timing shape the visual and emotional impact.

• 45° Upward: Creates a floating, full-coverage arc — best for indoor setups.
• Vertical: Produces a gentle rainfall effect — perfect for first dances or finales.
• Crossfire: Two cannons angled toward center stage for panoramic coverage.

🌀 Rule of thumb: Maintain at least 12–15 ft ceiling clearance indoors.
💫 Outdoors: Always test wind drift before the main cue.

Confetti creates a dense, floating visual that photographs beautifully — best for slow-motion magic and indoor reveals.
Streamers create long, sweeping motion and reset easily — ideal for concerts, sports, and fast-paced events.

🌀 Need both? Combine tissue confetti with streamers for a layered burst of movement and texture.

Responsibly planned effects keep the magic — not the mess.

✅ Use eco-tissue or water-soluble options outdoors.
✅ Keep cannons away from sprinklers, lights, or crowd areas.
✅ Sweep or vacuum tissue easily indoors; use a blower for metallic.
✅ Dispose of CO₂ cartridges properly after each event.

💡 Pro Tip: Mark your “no-fire zone” and rehearse timing with your event cue operator.
