Quick answer
Scatter Modern Romance White Confetti lightly across reception tables and use a small handful for the newlyweds' exit, keeping pieces loose so they read as delicate accents rather than a thick carpet.
Why less confetti reads as more
White tissue confetti works best when it looks accidental. A dense layer flattens the table and hides place settings; a light scatter lets candlelight and glassware show through. Start with fewer pieces than you think you need and add only where a gap feels empty.
Plan for photos and cleanup before you scatter
Confetti shows up strongly in overhead photos, so decide early whether you want it concentrated near the centre or framing each place setting. Also check with your venue about cleanup rules: tissue confetti is biodegradable, but it still needs collecting from floors and outdoor areas. Keep a small brush or lint roller on hand for the head table.
Step-by-step scatter plan
- Check the venue's confetti policy: Ask whether confetti is allowed indoors, outdoors, or both, and whether it must be biodegradable. Modern Romance White Confetti is tissue-based, but confirm any cleanup requirements before scattering. Get the policy in writing so you don't have to change plans on the day.
- Test the scatter on a bare table: Open one box and scatter a small handful across a plain surface at home. See how far it spreads and how dense it looks; adjust the amount per table from there. Photograph your test scatter so you can repeat the same density later.
- Scatter from a height in small pinches: Hold a pinch of confetti about 30cm above the table and let it fall loosely. Work in sections rather than dumping from the box, which creates clumps. Keep your hand moving so pieces separate as they land.
- Frame place settings instead of covering them: Place most confetti around the outer edge of each place setting and near the centrepiece, leaving plates and cutlery clear. A few pieces near a glass base look intentional; a pile on a plate looks messy. Leave the immediate eating area free of confetti.
- Reserve a handful for the exit or toss: Set aside a small amount in a separate container for the newlyweds' exit or a photo moment. Keep it dry and away from wind until needed. Label the reserved confetti so it isn't used on tables by mistake.
- Do a final walk-through before guests arrive: Check each table from standing height and from a seated guest's view. Remove any clumps and add a few pieces to bare spots. Keep the empty box for cleanup. Carry a spare box on the day in case a table needs a top-up.
