If you have a party or celebration coming up you have probably considered having some party poppers to help things go well. And as you may know, you can also get huge party cannons which are like a party popper on a much grander scale.
The question is whether you should have one or the other – or whether both would be too much.
A lot will depend on what budget you have available for this purpose. Some of the best party cannons cost around £10 each, although they can be available more cheaply for a more basic model. You can buy a lot of party poppers for the same amount of money, although they are designed for individuals to use. A party cannon is designed to be used for a whole table of people, so the price is relative to the result.
There is no doubt that a party cannon goes off with a bigger bang though. If your event is a real celebration and you want something to mark it with, party cannons are probably the better bet. If you have several tables for guests at a wedding for example, each one could have its own cannon and you could set them all off together.
The scale of your event will also help you to determine whether you want to go for party poppers or something bigger. A properly organised do might be better with cannons, whereas a simple get together at home with a few family and friends would be satisfied with party poppers.
Party poppers also tend to be something we all have stored away from previous celebrations as well. You might even find you have enough of them to cater for whatever party you have in mind, so you may not need to buy more. If you have budgeted for some though, why not buy a party cannon as well? Smaller cannons are available for just a few pounds so you can get something that is perfect for your needs.
As you can see there is no hard and fast rule about what will be suitable for the situation. It all depends on a number of factors and if you consider what you will be doing and where, the right solution for your situation should become apparent. There is a lot to choose from when it comes to party poppers and cannons too, so enjoy buying what you need!
