Paper confetti poppers are small but mighty. They’re safe, mess-contained, and fun for guests to use for a shared celebratory blast.

Best for:

• Group celebrations
• DIY hosts
• Budget-friendly parties that still want a punch of fun

3. Streamer Confetti Cannons – Long-Lasting Visual Impact

Want a “floating in slow motion” effect? Go with streamer-style poppers confetti.

• Angle matters. Aim upward and away from people’s faces.
• Use biodegradable confetti to keep things party-safe and eco-friendly.
• Add lighting. Confetti always looks 10x better with uplighting or spotlighting.
