‘Really Shocking’: Confetti Created From Confidential Police …

www.theblaze.com11/25/12

Tiny strips of paper rained down from the sky during Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but it appears some confetti might be part of a recycling effort gone awry. Bits of information seen on the strips included Mitt Romney’s …

Like most little girls, Jessica had always dreamed of the perfect wedding day. Now that she was engaged to the love of her life and he had given her full control over the plans of the wedding, her dreams started to become a reality.

Of course she wanted the perfect dress. Sleeveless and simple, the perfect statement for beachside vows. She didn’t have to worry about shoes, just the sand between her toes would be enough. Simple flowers in her hair and a stylish white beach shirt for her groom. Should guests throw rice, wedding confetti, party streamers?

She would ask her bridesmaids to wear pale orange sundresses to match the color of the sky as the sun set. No flowers to carry, just a lei made of fresh, fragrant hibiscus buds around each girl’s neck. Each groomsman would match the groom with just one difference; their shirts would be pale orange.

The only thing she needed was a way to signify what was in her heart. It felt like it would burst with all the joy, excitement, and love she felt inside. That was it! She needed all her guests to throw a burst of colorful Kabuki Handthrow Streamers. It would be the perfect way to match the explosion of love in her heart.

Testimonial From  A REAL Customer!

New Years Eve Is The Perfect Time To Use Confetti and Streamers!

Hands Down… NOTHING screams “Happy New Year” like confetti and streamers showering your guests! We have some perfect options for you, regardless of the size of your New Years Eve party…

Small parties – Perhaps you are having a New Years Eve party at home, or in a small hall. Often your ceiling height will limit what type of confetti or streamers that you can use. Using one of our handheld launchers or electric launchers would just be over kill, and it’s  likely the confetti and streamers would just bounce off the ceiling…

Here are some great confetti and streamer options for small-ish New Years Eve Parties:

Kabuki Handthrow Streamers – These are great for small parties, weddings, and any event that you need to minimize the mess made. These are small packets of streamers that you attach to your finger with a loop, They have a tissue paper cover on them, at abut 11:59 PM, you tear the cover off using the tab, and give the streamers a toss! Voila!  A big burst of streamers!  You can rip them off or  reel them back in! (The streamers will unfurl to a full 15 feet!) These are a lot of fun… all the guests will love them! Only $2.49 each, Quantity discounts available.  Order now!

Confetti Flick Sticks -Nothing says Happy New Year on New Years Eve like confetti! For as long as I can remember, on New Years Eve, there was a TV on and Dick Clark was ringing in the new year in Times Square! At midnight there was always TONS of confetti.

Now you can create the same effect for your New Years Eve party and let your guests get in on the fun. these 14″ confetti sticks are loaded in each end with our tissue confetti, to launch them you simply raise your arm above your head, hang on tight to the flick stick, and give it a sharp flick! Out comes a big burst of New Years Eve confetti! Flip it over and repeat for more fun! The confetti will fly about 15-18 feet! Make sure you get at least one for each guest!. These are $1.95 each and we have quantity discounts available! Order now!

Medium to Large Size Parties – Perhaps these are in a banquet hall. The options above are still great, many people will incorporate the Handthrow STreamers or Flick Sticks into their Centerpieces. It’s always fun to let the guests get involved and they think it’s really cool! Often we want to create bigger effects, bigger bursts of confetti and streamers, really create a visual impact!

Here’s some options for bigger parties. These can be used for BIG parties too, the larger the area, the more of these you will need!

32″ Celebration Launcher Starter Kit

These are great for mid size New Years Eve parties. The kit comes with two of the 32″ handheld launchers, ten sleeves of confetti and streamers and 10 16 gram Co2 Cartridges. that’s enough for 5 shots from each launcher! The launchers will throw the confetti 45-65 feet up and out! They use 1 sleeve of confetti and/or streamers and one Co2 cartridge per cannon, per launch, so… that’s about 3500 piece of confetti, 120 of our 15′ streamers or 33 of our speedload streamers. A really nice burst of either!

As a kit you save over $40.00!.The kit is yours for only $269.99! We also rent these for $60.00 each launcher. Please reserve these early as we always sell out! Order Yours Now!

Trying to figure out how many launchers you will need? I usually like to place a launcher every 30 feet, this way you will make sure you get nice even coverage. (Each kit comes with 2 launchers!) So if the area you want to cover is 120′ x 120′ you would get 16 launchers and place them every 30 feet throughout the room. Could you use less, perhaps, but one rule in the confetti business is a little more confetti than you need is a LOT better than not enough confetti!

XC-2 Confetti Cannon – These are Professional Confetti Cannons. We use these when we produce Effects for Taylor Swift, Blueman group, Mariah Carey etc.

The XC-2 has two barrels on them, each barrel will hold three sleeves of confetti and/or streamers. The barrels can be moved left and right and up and down. They are charged with compressed air, so you will need an air compresor. (Each launcher has it’s own air reservoir, so they don’t need to stay attached to the compressor.)
The XC-2 Confetti Cannon will shoot your New Years Eve confetti or streamers 45-65 feet. The big difference between using these and handheld launchers is the amount of confetti or streamers dispersed 6 times the amount as the handhelds, these can be rigged in your truss, arranged on the deck of your stage and be daisy chained together so that with a push of a button (Simply give it a jolt 0f 110 volt AC) and the whole stage or room will erupt in confetti or streamers!  Now THAT”S Happy New Year! The Xc-2 Confetti Cannon is $1099.99 each. We also rent these for $125.00 ea. Order Now!

Regardless of the delivery mechanism you use for your New Years Eve Confetti, I’m sure you’ll agree that a party o new Years Eve WITHOUT confetti and streamers will just be flat.  Be the envy of everyone at the party when you show them you know how to party in style! Get your confetti and streamers today! Order NOW… Every New Years Eve we have to disappoint someone… We WILL sell out!

Famed Club Avalon uses tons of confetti every night… Or is it every morning?

This just in from Ed Laskos of MyFoxLA.com …

Hollywood – When it’s last call in Hollywood, the party’s just about to start raging. When other night clubs are shutting down, the king of after hours steps in and cranks it up.

Like an underground Mardi Gras, confetti snows down everywhere. It’s a scene so crazy you can’t believe it’s happening right in the heart of Hollywood.

Seems Mariah Carey is hosting the “Turning On Of The Christmas Lights” at the Westfield Shopping Centre in London this Holiday Season. ( Glad it’s not just us Americans looking for any excuse for a party!) As she should, she wants this to be an event! She made demands of the promoter to have 100 white doves, 20 all white kittens and white butterfly confetti to rain on her through the lighting…

Unfortunately the kittens and doves proved to be problematic, but she will have Butterfly Confetti!

Never fear Mariah, we can hook you up with the Butterfly Confetti, the same way we hooked you up on Good Morning America!

Mariah Carey is currently in London, staying at the posh Dorchester Hotel and preparing for an upcoming event, the turning on of the Christmas lights at the Westfield Shopping Centre. Since she promised fans attending it that it would be one of the most impressive, fancy and beautiful events of the sort they ever saw, Mariah made a list of demands, which also included being surrounded by 20 all-white kittens and 100 white doves, and that were promptly turned down, the Daily Mail writes (full story)

Confetti has become synonymous with New Years Eve. Especially in Times Square, Ny, NY! This year you can leave your Good wishes for The New year and have them added to the confetti drop at midnight Dec 31, 2009!
Here’s the story from ABC news:

Visitors can also offer their wishes for the new year at the Times Square Information Center on Broadway between 46th and 47th streets. The wishes will be written on pieces of paper, displayed on a Confetti Wishing Wall at the information center, and then included in the shower of confetti that rains down on New Year’s Eve. Specific dates for the Confetti Wishing Wall will be posted at http://www.timessquarenyc.org. …more

Using Confetti and Streamers might be a bit overwhelming if you’ve never had the opportunity to use them before. Don’t worry, it’s actually very simple.

Dimensions of the area you want the effect in:

You’ll need to determine the width and length of the area you want to cover and your ceiling height.

Type of launchers: The confetti and streamers can be launched in a number of different ways. You can either drop it from the ceiling by hand, use Confetti blowers to “blow” the confetti to your desired area or use Launchers to shoot the confetti or streamers. The only one that works well if you’re launching streamers is the launchers.

Handheld launcher versus Electric Automatic: This really depends on how many you need and how many streamers and/or confetti you want to launch. If you are covering a small area for example 40 feet wide and deep, you can use 2-4 32” handheld launchers to produce a nice effect. Remember you will need 1 person to launch them at each position they will be launched. They are very simpleto use! Once they are loaded, you pull the string trigger and away they go!

In a larger area, or if you want to truss mount the launchers or if you can’t use handheld launchers due to sight lines or lack of manpower, the electric launchers are the way to go. Our XC-2 Launcher is the same type of launcher that you see on virtually any concert, large theatrical production professional application. The reason, they work all the time. They are compact. They are light (25 lbs loaded) and they use easy to find compressed air.

In short, for many Church, School and smaller type functions the 32” handheld launcher will do a wonderful job for you. For bigger events where you’ll need to cover more area or need to fire the launchers electrically, the XC-2 is the way to go!

Good luck and call or e-mail us with any questions!
