Love this from - a note to venues explain te biodegradable nature of their confetti along with suggested timescales for how long it'll actually take to biodegrade.
You don't get that with off the shelf and temu/shein confetti. I've had the unfortunate responsibility of telling couples and guests on the day that they can't use their planned confetti as it most definitely wasn't biodegradable.
You may ask why is this a problem, well I can tell you that much in the same way of balloons released to the skies, they fall to the ground, cause wildlife to choke on them and the plastic content makes them impossible to degrade properly. The mess is also a massive issue to venues, even paper confetti, which gets blown everywhere, creates such an unsightly mess that someone has to go out of their way to clear it up.
For a 5 second photo op the fallout for some venues is just too much.
As with all things wedding, check the small print before choosing and buying confetti. You could end up with a clear up bill or fine if you ignore warnings and rules. Or your confetti could end up being confiscated - I always try to have spare petal confetti for just in case.
If you're not allowed confetti at all consider streamer wands or bubbles instead. And please, No Balloon Releases! X
