Anyone heard of/using SKY LANTERNS?


Recommended Posts

I think these are absolutely beautiful!

 

But.... you cannot pack these on a plane, especially if you have alot of them... they are flammable.

 

Just something to think about. Australia put a temporary ban on the use, supply and sale of sky lanterns for 18 months a week ago. Due to fires and the lanterns being so hazardous. A whole country is using the next 18 months to decide if these are so hazardous that they need a permanent ban.

 

Just a small side note there. Plus I have to agree, wind on the beach, and drunk people, you need 2 to light one and you can't have wrinkled corners, etc is just maybe too much for wedding where drinking is involved.

 

I think these may be better for a funeral. To light for someone who has passed and you're not drinking. Just saying....

Eek! I think this puts things in perspective for me. I think it's more important to be cautious of homes and the natural environment. I'm sure there are other, safer ways to "wow" the guests.

my FI & I LOVED these!!! We are going to order some from a Dallas based co.

I was told that it can go in with my checked luggage and they are 16"x16" so it should fit fine. I was also told that there shouldnt be a problem with the fuel cells.

We ordered these and brought them in our carry-on to Dominican and had no problems. We passed them out at our reception and had everyone write on them...

 

We set a few off but it was too windy so we brought them home and are going to release the rest this summer as we live on a lake.

 

I have 7 left if anyone would like them, $15 plus shipping.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
