Sky Lanterns!


Recommended Posts

is everybody getting one per guest? it seems like you need 2 people to light one so maybe i will get 1 for every two guests. any suggestions?
I got one lantern for every two guests. They are quite large and until the hot air starts rising inside you need someone to hold it up so it doesn't fall over on itself and catch fire. I just got mine in the mail the other day, I ordered 18 of them (a couple extras just in case) and they will take quite a bit of room in the luggage so I can't imagine bringing down 30 or so.

Same! I have one for every two people. I'd read before that they are tricky to light and a two-person job.

We asked our venue if they were allowed, thinking we would buy them and bring them down, but they offered them for less than $14/each, which I feel is the better way to go. I'm already worried about how much luggage we're going to have, so I'm happy to pack one less thing. They told us we need 3 people per lantern, and they do look pretty big. They sent photos, although we're going to have solid colors instead of the multi. 400 400

My husband & I just got married in the DR in November, and we had 155 guests attend, so we had 90 of these to transport.  We got the biodegradable ones, and had absolutely no issue with having them in our checked luggage.  Here are some pictures! Totally worth it, it was one of our favorite things - we did this on the rehearsal dinner night - had dinner, showed a slideshow on the beach, did the lanterns, & bonfire afterwards - everyone loved it!! (We also had a photographer for that night so he could catch these amazing shots!)

Anyone looking for sky lanterns, hanging lanterns, luminaries or water lanterns this is a great deal!!! Any they offer a variety of colors sizes and fun shapes. 60% off and the sky lanterns and water lanterns are self fueling and biodegradable I have been looking for a while and the best deal by far. $25 for $50 or $40 for $100. http://www.groupon.com/deals/chinese-sky-lanterns?utm_campaign=UserReferral&utm_medium=email&utm_source=uu47087771

    • 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!
