Confetti are small pieces of paper or other material that is thrown into the air at a celebration such as party or a wedding.[1] Confetti comes in a variety of colors and shapes.

In some places including Europe,[2] the use of confetti is banned due to health problems of people, animals[3] or the earth, or due to the work needed to clean up the confetti afterward.[4] Foil and plastic confetti are not biodegradable.[5] Some cans are illegal due to banned items in them.[6]

The first known use of confetti was in 1815, as the Italian word "confetto" meaning "sweetmeat".[7]
