A Wish Lantern is similar to a mini hot air balloon, made out of very thin rice paper, when lit they float into the sky, and are a safe and unique alternative for fireworks. They are fully biodegradable, non-flammable and safe and easy to use, and create an amazing visual effect, as the glow from the lantern floats up into the sky, that adds enjoyment and wonder to any special occasion.
All you have to do is set light to the cardboard fuel cell attached to the lantern, wait for it to fill up with hot air, make your wish and gaze as the Wish Lantern floats up to the skies. The fuel cell well continue to burn for about 8-10 minutes, as the hot air causes the lantern to keep rising until they reach heights of 3,000 feet high and can reach heights of 5,000 feet in cold environments.
Also known as Sky Lanterns, Flying Lanterns, Chinese Lanterns, Sky Candle, Thai Lanterns and Khoom Fay , Wish Lanterns are traditionally used in Asia for celebrations and festivals to symbolise the release of worries and problems.
Sold individually, our Wish Lanterns are 100% biodegradable, come in white only and stand 44 In Tall * 24 In wide at the top* 16 In wide at the bottom. After release and flight, the Wish Lantern will self-extinguish and float gently to the ground, where the rice paper will biodegrade. The Lanterns are all hand made. They are composed of rice paper, a fuel
cell, a bamboo ring (wire free) and a non-flammable string to support
the fuel cell. The Rice paper and the string are flame retardant for
safety! We recommend one wish lantern per two guests you wish to have involved. Consider having your guests write on the wish lanterns with a low-alcohol content pen/marker with well wishes for the happy couple before releasing.Note: You are fully responsible when using
