The success of the Chinese lantern over the last year has created unique stories and experiences to do with both when and where you use yours. We describe in this article the top five places to use your Sky Lantern.

A brief background suggests that the Chinese Lantern originally was used as a light source for the people of China, In-fact historians have proposed that it might well have been the first portable light source. How technology has evolved, the Chinese Lantern must have been considered as a generally useful invention now it is mainly used in this country as an entertainment feature or novelty light source.

1. Let's get the obvious one out the way, a wedding is the perfect place to let these go, after a romantic ceremony and a few drinks why not treat your guests to a lantern each. Plus give the bride and groom a heart lantern to share, make there's a little bit more special. Why not buy a printed lantern which has a love note embodied on its side to make it more personal, you can either contact a supplier to print this on for you or write it on yourself.

2. A party requires a peak, a point that ...
... everyone has a little bit of excitement for. Chinese Lanterns create this atmosphere perfectly, the build up to the finale for the night. Another spin on the party theme is a birthday idea, why not give the birthday boy or girl a novelty lantern for their birthday, let him or her write their own wish on the Lantern and then let it go to come true.

3. A barbeque, although this usually takes place in the day Sky Lanterns actually work just as well during the daytime, in fact you can track yours even further as it drifts of into the sky. A good time for a barbeque is the kick off of the new football season, celebrate your teams win with a Football lantern after kick off.

4. Corporate events can be boring, the usual talk consists of office gossip. Why not liven things up and eliminate the small talk with a Chinese Lantern. Get rid of an awkward atmosphere and get everyone enjoying the lighting of the lanterns.

5. New Years is always a busy time for celebration, a fantastic idea is to actually write your new year's resolution on the Lantern and send them into the sky. Lanterns also represent fortune which a new year should be for everyone.

Please be aware when setting these lanterns of to stay clear of any airfields or the coast, this has become a bit of an issue and can only be resolved by suppliers guiding their customers with the correct advice.
