The Tradition of Celebrating a Wedding with Rice

Weddings are celebrations of a couple's lifelong commitment to each other and there are many traditions in wedding ceremonies around the world. But the most common way used to show the happy couple the joy and wonder of their union is to throw rice at them, one of the many types of grains used in such a fashion, along with candies, to ensure success in the marriage and children from the union.

Modern Wedding Celebrations with Confetti Cannons

Nowadays, rice has given way to confetti, a more modern and even more exciting way of celebrating a couple's happiest day. The small pieces of multicolored and even multitextured paper and other material rain down upon the happy couple in celebration of their love. And the most exciting ways of raining confetti down on the wedding party are with a confetti gun, cannon, and blower. The popper gun is a small device using a refill that, when fired, "pops" and hurles confetti a short distance away. The blower streams confetti 45 feet or more into the air in a continuous stream. But the most common "popper" is the confetti cannon. These one-time use cylindrical "poppers", with most of them powered by compressed air, are designed for a single person to activate and shoot. There are many types and sizes to choose from.

For instance, our hand-held 7" Wedding Confetti Party Popper shoots out a stream of colorful confetti 18 to 24 inches into the air. You can give them out as guests arrive for the wedding, have them pre-situated on the wedding tables, or hand them out at the end of the dinner to be used during the dance. In fact, the 7" confetti cannon can be used at any time during the wedding or reception. Why stop there? Before the wedding, use the 7" confetti popper at the Stag and Doe, bachelor or bachelorette party, or even when announcing your engagement to friends and family.
