Confetti Meaning

Confetti is a historical symbol of prosperity and fertility and for hundreds of years has been thrown over the bride and groom at weddings. It represents that life is both bitter and sweet and was originally represented by sugar coated almonds. Originally The five almonds, given out at weddings, stood for happiness, health, wealth, fertility, and longevity to the newlywed couple. Over centuries this tradition has adapted and expanded and confetti is now commonly used in birthday parties through to celebrating sporting success.
