Rice at Weddings!

So you’ve decided to make your walk down the aisle a bit “wow” with confetti and you’ve come across a big stumbling block. A confetti ban.

Believe it or not such bans do exist and while we love a happy bride you can understand there are certain factors, not the less environmental ones, that mean a venue would consider denying you a confetti filled exit.
(If you are still not convinced and think your venue should allow confetti take a whole punch and a ream of paper. Punch out a million little circles, dump them on your living room floor, do a few rounds of zumba, then try and vaccum the pieces up.)
So, what to do?
Cry, obviously. It’s not going to change anything but it might make you feel a little better. Then get the thinking cap out and come up with another way to make a splash.
Bubbles
Harmless and stylish and also very fun.
Eco Friendly Confetti
It does exist and breaks down in 24-48 hours. And there is no danger to any little animal friends so it is great for outdoors.
Roses or Petals
Obviously biodegradable but also VERY stainable. Be cautious with this option.
Rice
Not to be thrown too hard… OUCH! Not echo friendly, and birds can choke on the rice.
