Guests at a wedding launching sky lanterns
Everyone knows how wonderful sky lanterns are when incorporated into a wedding celebration, but more often then not, people use them in a rushed and unplanned manner, so they still look great, but could look even better if people took the time to plan and think about their lantern launch a little more.
SkyWishLanterns.com has supervised a few lantern launches at weddings and we couldn’t believe how people were going about it, needless to say we had to step in and add a few pointers to get the whole thing organised. We had people just ripping into the lanterns (most under the influence of alchohol) not knowing what they were or even how to use them, then trying to light them upsidedown nearly setting fire to their sleeves! Luckily we were there to show people how to use them and prevent any potential problems, but what if we hadn’t of been there?
If you are having an unsupervised lantern launch at your wedding and having your guests launch the lanterns, you must ensure you nominate someone to stand up infront of the guests, take the microphone and explain very clearly how to light and launch the lanterns.
Prior to your wedding you should familiarise yourself with the safety instructions which are available here and then you can ensure your guests are familiar with them as well on the day by giving a copy to the MC to read out prior to the launch.
You should also let them all know when to start the process and let them off so the lanterns all go up together or as near to eachother as possible for maximum effectiveness.
