Confetti are ribbons filled with Jordan almonds that are typically given at Italian weddings. These pretty gifts have been adopted by brides of all nationalities. You can either make your own confetti or buy them ready made. It's possible to make your own for under $1.25, premade confetti start at $3.50 with some of the more complex designs costing $7.50.

If you are making your own be sure to read the descriptions carefully since different roles of ribbon make different numbers of confetti.
Below are some ready made confetti for the bride who lacks the patience or doesn't want to make the favors herself.
