When and how to add confetti to your product UI

As I am sure all designers have picked up on, confetti has become a popular method of (positive) feedback inside mobile and desktop apps. I will discuss the viable scenarios where you can implement confetti and will even provide some corny examples 🌽

Scenarios when you can use confetti 🎉

Confetti is congratulatory in nature, but in what circumstances are you congratulating the user?

Celebrate a completed process via a confirmation (congrats) page

Completing a lot of work should be celebrated. It should also be confirmed that the work you did was saved.

We often see growls/toast notifications upon completion of small amounts or work or work that does not require a e.g. confirmation code. But for a large processes a full confirmation page is best.

Processes that should end with a confirmation page include booking a flight, filling out a tax form or completing an online test. They should also be used upon completion of a job application, like this recent one I submitted 😎🏒
