confetti
Party paper scraps
Confetti is small pieces of colored paper thrown during celebrations—weddings, parades, New Year's Eve.
The pieces flutter down over the honorees or revelers.
Confetti was originally small candies thrown at Italian carnivals; the paper version is cheaper and less painful.
The newlyweds emerged from the church amid a shower of confetti.
