CHINESE LANTERNS from Wish Lantern are 99% biodegradable, non-flammable and safe and easy to use, and create an amazing visual effect that adds enjoyment and wonder to any special occasion.
All you have to do is light the fuel cell, wait for the lanterns to fill up with hot air and then let go. You and your guests will gaze as the Wish Lantern floats up to the sky. Using the power of fire, the CHINESE LANTERNS will be in the air for about 12 minutes and go up over a mile in the air.
CHINESE LANTERNS from Wish Lantern stand 108cm (42.5 inches) tall and 66cm (26 inches) wide at its widest point. After release and flight, the Wish Lantern will self-extinguish and float gently to the ground. New in stock this season are our range of Halloween lanterns, floating wish lanterns and Santa Lanterns.
We know you love our
Chinese lanterns as much as we do, which is why you help keep our blog alive and kicking by logging on to read the new instalment every week, and posting your lovely comments at the bottom. We also know that for some, bulletins about Chinese lanterns needs to come thick and fast, not just once a week, which is why we’ve set up our very own Facebook page, hosted by Wish lantern, where you catch the most recent news about our products-particularly the seasonal ones, such as pumpkin and Santa lanterns- as well as network with fellow fanatics. Let’s face it, these days the only place to be seen is social networking sites, and making your own profile attractive and
cool is of utmost importance. Become a fan of the
Chinese lanterns page, and our lovely, glowing logo will pop up every time you log on, making your page light up (hoho); much better than running a virtual farm (some of the other Facebook options), or playing scrabble online, we’re sure you’ll agree.
So next time you pop onto your laptop, just search for Wish lantern in the little white box at the top of your home page, and we’ll be waiting there to welcome you into our extended family. What could be better than that?!
The longest day of the year is approaching, and with it our high hopes for sunshine and warm temperatures. It’s a time of basking in light evenings and lazy after-work rituals, and certainly an occasion for bringing friends and family together. If you’re holding a party or gathering this year, our Chinese lanterns will make your occasion that much more special and unique. Why not hand them out as the evening draws to a close and the sun is setting; watching the lanterns float away as the sky gets darker creates a stunning effect. Or, if you’d rather your guests saved the Chinese lanterns experience for another day, handing them out as parting gifts, a treat to remember the evening by, always goes down a storm.
Maybe you’re planning something extra special to mark the longest day of the year, other than a garden party or barbeque- if so, let us know, and we may well be able to help add a little sparkle. We also love hearing your stories and seeing your photos of any occasion where you’ve used Chinese lanterns, so don’t be shy and send them in! We look forward to hearing from you.
Over the years, we have had varied requests for our Chinese lanterns, for use at numerous different events and occasions. These have ranged from significant birthdays or anniversaries, to wedding celebrations and Guy Fawkes night bashes. We have also had the honour of providing our lanterns for memorial services, during which attendees have had the opportunity to make a wish for and say goodbye to a loved one, as they watch their Chinese lanterns float away into the night sky. From past clients, we have had feedback that has included praise of the therapeutic nature of this small ceremony, as each guest feels they have had the opportunity to reflect and give thanks for the life of someone they have lost.
We can also provide special packages of lanterns, which come with marker pens with which individual and unique messages can be written onto the lantern paper, making each one released a special experience of the person involved. The packages also come with lighters, leaving nothing for you to worry about for this part of the day.
If you’d like to talk through your individual requirements, and find out which of our products or packages might be best suited to you, please do get in touch and one of our friendly team will be able to answer any questions you may have.
At the World Expo in Shanghai, one building has swiftly become the most photographed- and, unsurprisingly for us, it is the Taiwan Pavilion, stunning constructed to look like one of our Chinese lanterns. The beauty does not stop with the structure, oh no. Inside the Pavilion resides the main focal point and central piece of the structure, a huge globe made up of millions of LED light, which rotates inside a glass cube. Not only this, but visitors to the building can, from a stage constructed under the globe, release digital Chinese lanterns, which then can be seen to “float” over the surface of the globe until they disappear from sight. The curator of the Taiwan Pavilion, Walter Yeh, said that the ancient Chinese tradition of releasing lanterns for good luck is one well-preserved in Taiwan, and this was something that the designers wanted to explore and celebrate as part of the project.
We’re not quite at the stage of digitalising our products, and have no need to, as our customers are delighted with the paper Chinese lanterns that we provide them for a number of special occasions. If you have any questions about any of our lanterns or our service, please do get in touch and one of our team will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
There’s nothing quite like planning your big day with your significant other, and thinking about the future, and what your lives together will entail. You may have even been to a few weddings yourself over the summer, and taken notes about what you do and don’t want to do on your own big day…as the winter approaches, however, and we’re thinking about heading to the mountains for a spot of skiing, some happy couples are doing the same, and taking their wedding parties with them to get hitched on the slopes. Exotic wedding locations are all the rage, and where better to declare your love for someone than the idyllic snowy tops of a resort somewhere in our big wide world. Whatever your wedding location or skiing preferences, don’t forget to pack the Chinese lanterns, which can help round off your ceremony in style. Not only will your guests and skiers adore seeing beautiful lights floating over the wilderness, but you’ll give your fellow holiday makers something to enjoy, too.
