Ah, wedmin. It's just one long list of questions you need answered, isn't it?
Does the gold package include the dancefloor? Can we swap the prosecco for beer? What if we don't want to invite Uncle Dave's new girlfriend? Where should we seat our photographer? Why is it called a wedding breakfast when we're eating at 3pm? Dad, can you please RSVP using the website? Yes, we know you're coming, but please, behave.
We can't do much about your mother-in-law's wilful misunderstanding of the phrase 'unplugged ceremony', but we can answer your confetti questions. And if your question isn't answered here, we'd love for you to ask. Try us.

How long before our wedding should we order?
At checkout, you'll be asked for your wedding date. We will then ship your confetti 4-6 weeks before the big day. If you're getting married sooner than that, or would like your confetti sooner, simply send us a message at orders@flutterdarlings.co.uk and let us know, and we'll get it out to you ASAP.
We also have the option to ship in as a little as 48 hours, so long as we have your colours in stock.
How does ordering work?
Our ordering process is pretty similar to most online stores, with one difference - you choose your wedding date at checkout.
A few things to note here:
1) Please try to allow a little time between your delivery date and your Actual Wedding Day just in case Evri decide to chuck your parcel on top of next door's shed, or you'd like to place a top-up order.
2) Once your confetti has left us, it's in Evri's fine hands to decide when they'll deign to deliver; you'll be sent a tracking link so you can follow your confetti on its way.
3) You'll receive your confetti in plenty of time, but if you need it sooner, just reach out.
...my wedding is in three weeks. Have I left it too late to get my confetti?
No! Just get in touch and we can help! orders@flutterdarlings.co.uk
How much confetti do I need at my wedding?
Short answer: 1 to 2 handfuls per guest + a cannon for each member of your wedding gang
Medium answer: We sell our confetti in handfuls, so some people keep it simple and go for one handful per guest. But for the best photos ever? Double up.
Long answer: We dedicated a whole page to answering this question.
...How much do other people order?
Now, you do you! However, if it helps with planning, a typical Flutter, Darlings! order contains around 175 handfuls of confetti with four or six cannons. But we've seen everything from our order minimum of £25 all the way up to confetti and cannons for 600 people... plus a few orders for TV and film!
Is your confetti biodegradable?
Yup. And compostable.
How much confetti is in a handful?
4 grams-ish.
How does your confetti come packaged?
Flutter, Darlings! confetti comes all packed up in a big bag for you to decant as you so choose. We mix your colours up for you into your own wondrous blend at FD HQ. If you'd like us to package each of your colours separately pop us a note when you checkout, no sweat.
What's your confetti made from?
This is such a good question that we've got a whole page to answer it.
How much does delivery cost?
UK shipping is £3.99, or on the house if you spend over £60. Go on.
Do you ship outside of the UK?
After a lot of requests, we're very cautiously trialling shipping our colourful confetti to the United States! So to those stateside lurkers, you can now get choosing your confetti. At present, we're unable to pay customs/duties for you so please factor this in to your timescales and budget. We also can't ship cannons to foreign climes, sorry!
If you're experiencing any difficulty in checking out please email orders@flutterdarlings.co.uk
Why can't you ship to Northern Ireland or the EU?
As of 13 December 2024, we have suspended shipping to the European Union and Northern Ireland due to the introduction of General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). 😭 We really hope to be able to ship to the EU and NI once we have more guidance on how to ship to these locations without falling foul of GSPR.
Is there a minimum amount of confetti I can buy?
Our minimum order value is £25.
Do the cannons come filled with confetti?
Yep and that's included in the price.
Can I take the confetti cannons on a plane?
Probably not. Check your airline's rules on pressurised gas, but it's a no for most airlines. Boo.
I want my confetti colours kept separate, is that possible?
Yes, of course! Please email orders@flutterdarlings.co.uk with your order number to let us know, and we'll keep your colours well and truly un-mixed.
I'm a wedding supplier, can we chat?
Hell yes! Give us a few words using hey@flutterdarlings.co.uk
