confetti toss

Paper pieces thrown

A confetti toss is the celebratory act of throwing small pieces of colored paper into the air, typically at weddings, parades, or New Year's Eve celebrations.

The term can refer to either the action itself or the moment when confetti is released: The confetti toss at midnight was spectacular.

It also names a specific wedding tradition where guests shower the newlyweds as they exit the ceremony.
