How We Calculate This
This calculator estimates confetti quantities based on guest numbers and usage type.
The formula
Throwing confetti = guests x 15g per person
Table confetti = number of tables x 20g per table
Pack sizes vary by type: paper confetti typically comes in 50g packs, metallic in 25g, and biodegradable/petal in 30g. Packs needed are rounded up to ensure you have enough.
