Does anyone over the age of twelve make wishes anymore? One might say we should all make more frequent wishes. Wishes help us to feel safe and give us hope, a light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. By releasing a wish lantern you can help someone make a wish with a tangible object making the moment more ‘real’ and in turn more effective.
Wish lanterns can be used to make wishes at weddings for the bride and groom, at christenings for new babies and even at memorial services for those who have left us. There’s not a situation in this world that doesn’t call for us to make wishes.
Once you hold a wish lantern with your wish inside it and release it up into the sky you will see how powerful it makes the situation. It literally carries your wish high into the heavens above and you can watch it float up, floating one step closer to being fulfilled.
Some people write their wishes directly onto their wish lanterns in a soft felt tip pen, this idea is especially popular at weddings and birthdays. A nice idea at a wedding is to give all your guests a felt tip pen and a wish lantern and have them write a wish for the bride and groom on the lantern then have everyone release the lanterns in unison at the end of the reception, it looks absolutely stunning.
