We're in the middle of Engagement Season and with Valentine's Day right around the corner, you're likely looking for a fun and unique way to Say Congratulations on Your Engagement to the lucky couple.

Well, I can help you with that . . . I have created a super fun way to celebrate the upcoming "I Do's" and it's with my custom festive-fetti™ confetti.

These fun bags of custom colored confetti are meant to celebrate the newly engaged status of your family member or friend and say "congratulations on your engagement".

PS: Many wedding planners even purchase these confetti bags to congratulate their brides when they book their wedding with them.

Since some of the best surprises are the small, unexpected ones - wouldn't it be fun to surprise the newly engaged couple or even the bride on her bridal shower day with a cute bag of festive-fetti™? This package comes with a shiny silver or gold diamond and the confetti is in the colors you choose {up to 3 colors}.

You're probably curious what you can do with festive-fetti™, right? How about some of these ideas . . .
• surprise a bride-to-be on her bridal shower day with a confetti bag inserted into her card or present
• sprinkle the confetti around the bottom of the bride-to-be's dessert at her bridal shower {please note, festive-fetti™ is not edible - just a fun decoration}
• have the bride to be either toss the festive-fetti™ in the air or blow it from her hands at her bridal shower or engagement session for a priceless photo
• place the festive-fetti™ inside of a clear balloon before filling it with air
• use festive-fetti™ as the added packaging for the present
• use the confetti to embellish cards or gift tags

festive-fetti™ Bag Details: Comes in a clear bag ready for gifting to the lucky couple or bride-to-be — with the saying "Congratulations on your Engagement" on the paper insert.

For an additional $2 you can even add a custom saying to the paper insert to personalize the bag of confetti with the names of the couple. There is about 1 cup of confetti in each bag.

SHIPPING DETAILS:
