Recently my son turned 21, and was heading to the police academy. He had always said, even as young as age three, that he wanted to be a police officer. It must be something in the genes, for his grandfather, and great grandfather were both police officers.
At age nine, we enrolled him in a new program funded by our local police department, called police explorers. This program was designed to teach young children all aspects of becoming a police officer. To show them some of the things that the police deal with on a daily basis.
He loved the program and was enrolled in it all throughout his school education. As a senior, he became a police supervisor for the police explorers, and helped direct and organize events for the other children in the program. They do a lot of public service work like directing traffic, park cars at large events etc. They have the full backing of the police force in case of an incident.
This has played an integral role in his life, and now that he was heading to the police academy. I wanted to make sure we had an extra special birthday party for him. I decided to have the party at a friends house who had a large house, and plenty of other events for the guys to do like swimming, horse shoes and volleyball. I saw an ad on how to make your own sky lanterns.
I decided to check it out, and was pleased with how easy they were to make and that I could paint them, or design them in variety of different ways. I ended up buying wish sky lanterns these were a great sky lantern. They also added the extra touch of being wishing sky lanterns.
The party was a week away, so I made sure I got my order with same day delivery. I started building them right away. It took about three days to get them all put together and painted. I painted them all dark blue, and painted a police badge on each one. The day before the party I took them all over to my friends house to make sure they were a total surprise to my son.
The day of the party everything went great, and all the guys were having fun. Later in the afternoon we sang happy birthday to my son. Shortly after, me and my friend launched all the sky lanterns and there was big cheer, and my son was visibly touched by the gesture. I gave him a big old hug and told him how proud I was of him. and knew he was going to do great in the police academy.
It was a great moment that I will always treasure. If you are trying to think of a great way to make your next party special, I suggest you try learning how to make a sky lanterns. It’s easy and affordable, and will definitely make your party much more memorable.

Disappointed with my wife’s last year birthday party, this year I was thinking of something more memorable.
Don’t get me wrong last year’s party was O.K., we sang the birthday song, cut the cake, a barbecue and a swim in the pool. A standard celebration, but nothing to mark it as a memorable event. I was messing around on the computer one day and I ran across a sky lantern festival. It was a very impressive video.
They showed the launching of these khoom fay sky lanterns. It was beautiful and very serene to watch. I decided to check out sites on making a sky lantern. It wasn’t too difficult so I decided to buy a kit so I could make a sky lantern. After learning the sky lanterns how to. I decided I would buy Chinese sky lanterns. These were the perfect sky lanterns to buy for my wife’s birthday party.
My wife was turning 40, I bought 40 of the sky lanterns and started building them in my work room. By the day of the party, I had them all ready and couldn’t wait for the party to start. I planned a bit differently this year, we had a barbecue, swim party, cut the cake and served coffee. Then I suggested a bonfire in the backyard and everyone liked that idea.
While my wife and the guests sat around the warm fire, me and a friend started bringing out the sky lanterns to the front of the house. After we got them all ready, I told my son to tell my wife to keep her eyes on the house.
My friend and I launched the sky lanterns. It was an awesome sight for me and my friend and I’m sure it was even more beautiful to watch from the backyard to watch these lanterns slowly rise into the air. After we launched the last one’s, I went back to see my wife.
She was in tears in the backyard and said, “It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen”. I was very happy and explained to her that there were forty to mark her very special birthday. She claimed it was the best birthday she ever had. This must have been the best idea for a birthday party I ever had and I would suggest others try these sky lanterns for their next birthday celebration.

My son recently turned sixteen. We wanted to have a big birthday party for him and his friends. The party was held at our house, and we had a couple of surprises for him. The party started at 6 pm., the guests started arriving.
I had the party set up in the basement, that way they could have as much fun and play their music as loud as they wanted. There was a total of a about thirty kids and the party was going great. That’s when I decided to get my little surprise ready for him.
I discreetly got a hold of a couple of my sons friends and told them to meet me in the backyard behind the garage. They showed up promptly and we got to work. Me and the boys quickly got the lantern display ready.
I was late ordering the sky lanterns but was relieved to find out that I could have sky lanterns next day delivery. What a relief. At any rate back to the story, everything was set and I told my son to come upstairs with all his friends, that I had a surprise for him. Once my son was outside, I told the boys behind the garage to let them go!
And there was thirty of these beautiful sky lanterns floating over my garage, then I opened the garage, and there was his brand new car! My son and his friends were yelling and hollering so loud the neighbors came outside to see what all the commotion was.
They saw the sky lanterns and all just stood and pointed at them. They later asked me what they were and where I got them. I told them of your website, and they were already planning on ordering some!
My son was so happy and his friends were so excited for him. They all sat in the front yard watching the chinese lanterns in the sky. As things settled down my son took some of his friends for a test drive and the party gradually ended.
The next morning my son and I talked and he was telling me how great his party was, and how much he liked those cool looking lanterns. I thought I would share this story with you all, and thank you for getting me my order so quickly. You guys are great! I cannot tell you how much I appeciate all that you do.

My wife and I recently celebrated our 10 year anniversary. It was a special day for us and we wanted to share it with all of our family and friends. We planned way ahead to make sure we would have plenty of time to organize and entertain all of our guests.
We were married on St. Patrick’s Day and figured we would celebrate our anniversary on the following weekend. I decided to have a barbecue and set up horse shoes. For the evening, we would have a bonfire in the back.
I came up with the idea to buy sky lanterns. I found where to buy sky lanterns, and I purchased some white sky lanterns. I made sure the sky lanterns next day delivery was shipped. They arrived the next day and I was very excited to include these with our anniversary festivities.
The day of our party arrived and there were a lot of people who came to help us celebrate. The weather was perfect and it was truly a glorious day for our party. The barbecue came out great. Unfortunately my horse shoe game was not so great as I got stomped by all of people my pastor! It was all great fun and we all had a great time talking and reminiscing about the last ten years.
After dinner we got the fire started in the back yard as the temperature dropped significantly after sunset. So there we all were bundled up in coats and blankets and talking while the fire kept us all cozy and warm. I decided it was a good time to get out the sky lanterns, I had another friend help me bring them out to the back garden by the fire.
I told my wife how happy I had been being married to her and I asked her to help me light our night sky lanterns. We lit each one and they slowly drifted away it was a moving sight as these sky lanterns made an awesome spectacle in the starry night sky.
Every one cheered and we were so happy it was the perfect end to our perfect anniversary celebration. If you are planning a anniversary or wedding I would tell you to pick some of these wonderful sky lanterns up they definitely will become the highlight of your celebration and make the whole moment much more memorable.

My mother and father just reached there 50th wedding anniversary. My brothers and sisters coordinated a nice celebration for them on this auspicious day. We decided to hold the party for them at a small upper class hall.
We invited all the family members to attend, including my parents surviving brothers and sisters. The party was catered, and my sister and brother greeted guests. I more or less mingled. I was in charge of decorating the hall, which I had completed in the morning.
I also bought a book showing how to make Chinese sky lantern about a month before the event. This book was very informative. I bought the materials needed to make a Chinese sky lantern. After about a week or so, I had created 50 of these. I decided I would have all my relatives and my parents launch them after the party. Each one to signify each year they were together.
I also thought of a great idea numbering each one with each year they had been together, my parents would launch the last one’s. The party was held in a small city, and launching them at the hall seemed a bit risky.
There were a lot of trees and apartments in the area. I figured we could all walk across the street to a park and launch them there. It was a cold brisk walk, but everybody walked and talked, not really noticing the cold at all. I passed the lanterns I made to all the guests, and we all watched as the lanterns in the sky drifted away.
My mother and father were quite moved, they said the lanterns floated away just as the years of their marriage had. I’m married and my anniversary is coming up in March. It will be my 5th year anniversary. I’m going to be buying heart shaped sky lanterns this time. I figure I won’t make them, that way they it will be a surprise on our anniversary.
The heart sky lantern will be a wonderful surprise for my wife. I’m just glad I only have to buy 5 this time. I cannot tell you how many of the relatives commented on how much they liked the sky lanterns, and the symbolics each one meant. I am so glad I thought of the sky lanterns, and I am also grateful to all of you that helped me make my parents wedding anniversary a special one.

I recently was invited to a friends wedding. It was their fifth wedding anniversary and I wanted to give them something special for their anniversary gift. I recently learned how to make a Chinese sky lantern. I decided to make sky lantern set for the anniversary party.
The project wasn’t too expensive and I finished them in about 2 hours. The day of the anniversary celebration I was very excited and couldn’t wait to share them with my friend and his wife. After dinner and some dancing, I asked my friend to meet me out in back of his house for my impromptu gift to him and his wife. They came out back and I lit my five lanterns off.
As I lit each one I said something profound for each one. They were obviously touched by my gift and invited them to light the last one together. It was a wonderful moment and other guests cheered as the last one slowly floated away. This was the highlight of the party. They both thanked me and asked all sorts of questions about the sky lanterns. This was a great idea and I am going to use them again for the next party I’m invited to.

Filed under :Bonfire Night
I was invited to join my son and daughter to their school rally. This is an exciting time for the high school students. This rally is designed to get the high school body fired up with the schools athletics. I knew they had a bon fire night planned and the students were all going to attend. I thought of a great idea to accentuate this exciting event. I thought I’d teach some of students the art of making sky lanterns.
I bought some sky lanterns wholesale. This was a cheaper and more affordable way for me to purchase the sky lanterns. The students really got into building their small sky lanterns. They all were very excited and couldn’t wait to launch them on bonfire night.
The event was scheduled on a Friday night and the weather was going to be perfect for the big event. I must say even I was getting excited and looked forward to the rally. I decided to have my wife and some of the neighbors come to add support and help organize everything. The night of the bonfire there was a huge crowd of students, teachers and parents at the event.
There were also cheerleaders pumping up the crowd with high school cheers and the principal recited a speech about the school and displaying the school pride and being supportive of the all the school teams throughout the year. The crowd was all cheering as they ignited the huge bonfire. Me and the students got our Chinese paper sky lanterns ready to light. We were going to wait until after the bonfire died down a a bit so that everyone could see them and enjoy them.
As things died down a bit I asked the principal to make a short announcement about the sky lanterns. I told the students to think of these lanterns as their goals in life. If they had a fire and passion they could reach all their goals.
A lot of students put their graduation date and the high school name on them. It turned out to be the highlight of the event as the students cheered and watched their sky lanterns float away into the night sky. I thought I’d tell you all about this great event and thank you for all your support. We could not learn how to make a sky lanterns with out you and all your tips.

Filed under :Halloween Party
My family and I were part of a city event for chidren held recently. The idea was to give chidren a safe and fun event for the halloween season. There was a hayride that would pick children, and parents up and take them through the woods.
It would stop at different locations where High school drama students put on a short play. The plays were short childrens tales, like hansel and gretel or little red riding hood. I thought of a grerat way to light the sides of the path at night for the hayride driver. We had bought japanese sky lanterns, and I had the high school kids make chinese sky lanterns after shool.
This was a great addition to the event, and even the event coordinator asked where I had gotten the floating sky lanterns. I had told them I had seen a sky lanterns ebay advertisement. They were the cheapest sky lanterns I had found, so I thought I would give them a try. He really liked the idea and told me next year, I would recive funding from the city to buy more. He also specifically asked for fiesta sky lanterns.
These colour sky lanterns should really add a bit more excitement and interest more people in town to visit our hayride and gala. I think I should explain how they were used, if someone out there wants to give them a try. We would tie our flying sky lantern to a small string, around five feet tall, and then tie them to a stake.
This gave the appearance of a ghost or something mysterious the way they floated. Next year we are hoping to have a longer trail, and more spots for the hayride to stop at .I’m thinking about also ordering mini sky lanterns for their parents to light and release. I will have to check with the city to make sure that the sky lanterns safety check will be approved.
I thought I would tell you about this event, and how your product was such a great addition to our event. I will be ordering more sky lanterns from you and I’m looking forward to continuing to do business with you and your staff. Having the city fund the project means I will be ordering the sky lanterns bulk shipments if possible. I’m sure you will be able to handle this order, I will give you all the details as soon as possible.

My family and I were recently invited to a friends house for a Halloween party. My friend lived out in the country and owned a ranch. I decided I would learn how to make sky lanterns. This would be a great item to bring to the party.
We always sit around a big bonfire later in the evening, and I knew these would be a great way to entertain the group. Since my friend lived way out in the country, I knew we wouldn’t have to worry about any sky lanterns legal issues.
Not that I’ve heard of anyone having problems launching them, I knew we wouldn’t have anything to worry about. I decided I would buy some cheap sky lanterns. I didn’t have a lot of money, and didn’t really want to spend big money on this project.
The night of the party, we got dressed in costumes, and I made sure I wore some non flammable clothes. I didn’t know of any sky lanterns dangerous incidents, but I didn’t want to take any chances. I didn’t want to have this idea turn bad by not taking proper precautions. After the party we all went to the back to the bonfire, I lit one of the sky lanterns. It gently floated up into the night sky. My friend saw how easy it was, and helped me launch the rest of them.
It was great to fill the night sky with these sky lanterns, and everyone cheered as we launched them. I was glad I decided to bring these sky lanterns with me, and my friend already wants to order more for next Halloween.
I told him how affordable they were, and he definitely wants to order more.
I think I’ll order more and bring them too. It really was a great way to celebrate Halloween. If your looking for great entertainment ideas for your next Halloween party, I suggest you order some of these sky lanterns. You can have your friends and family launch them, but make sure you don’t have any sky lanterns legal issues. You don’t want police crashing your Halloween party.
You can buy sky lantern wholesale and this will make them very affordable. The other great thing about these sky lanterns is you can use them for a variety of different occasions. Check around on line to find a good place to buy sky lantern displays. I’m sure you will glad that you bought them.

Filed under :Valentines Day

Valentines day was fast approaching, and I still had not gotten my girlfriend anything. The thing is, last year I had forgotten to get her anything, and it was real bad!
I spent the next three weeks living out a guilt trip, that she provided after she gave me a brand new Fossil watch. Guys take it from me, it’s definitely better to remember and make it a special day. I tried thinking of something I could do that would be special and unforgettable. I checked out a wedding sky lantern. This was because I planned to ask her to be my wife.
I had already gotten an engagement ring, and to top this event off, I thought it would be a great way for her to remember this special occasion. That is, of course, as long as she said yes! At any rate, I checked out sky lanterns wiki and found they had a large selection of them available.
I would say this is where to buy sky lanterns. I found a great thai sky lantern and purchased that one. I also wrote a nice private little note on it. I figured I would take her to this restaurant we always go to right on the beach. I picked her up at her house, and we drove to the restaurant.
I really played it coy, as if I had forgotten again to get her something. We arrived at the restaurant, and they were quite busy, we managed to get a window table that overlooked the beach, after a half hour wait. She was already on me, saying I should have called for a reservation.
I just smiled and apologized. Dinner was great and after we had eaten dessert, I knelt down and asked her to marry me. Everyone was looking and she could not figure out what was going on at first. Then she got a hold of herself and started crying and said,”yes”. It was a wonderful moment. Everyone in the restaurant cheered and it was really great. I told her I had to run to the car for something. I went and grabbed the sky lantern. We went down to the beach and launched the sky lantern. I thought I would tell you about this memorable event in my life and to thank you. I will be ordering wedding sky lanterns soon.
