Photo Confetti

Check out this clever idea for photo confetti from Martha Stewart!

Guests will go dotty for confetti decorated with their own smiling faces.

  1. Use a photo-editing program to give digital pictures of family and friends a sepia tint.
  2. Print onto matte photo paper.
  3. Use 1/2-inch to 1-inch circle punches to cut out faces, as well as extra circles from colored paper and vellum.
  4. Package the confetti in envelopes, and hand them out to guests for a celebratory toss.

 

This is a perfect way to celebrate the guest or guests of honor! Use this to personalize any gathering, including:

  • Birthday Parties
  • Engagement Parties
  • Bridal Showers
  • Baby Showers
  • Rehearsal Dinners
  • New Year’s Eve
  • Family Reunions
  • Anniversary Parties
