Chinese lanterns in Remembrance

We hear of Chinese lanterns being used on many occasions in times of celebration, to realise a special date in someone’s life, or to recognise the coming of a new year or other annual holidays in which we traditionally give thanks and enjoy gatherings of family and friends. It has also been known for Chinese [...]

 
 

Chinese lanterns and the eternal flames

Naturally, we love Chinese lanterns, and the beautiful light and colour they create when they’re floating above us. Wouldn’t it be lovely if they were to burn eternally? For one site in Turkey, the flames that lick out from underneath the rocks do exactly this- they have been burning for thousands of years, and will [...]

 
 

Around the world with Chinese lanterns

We at Chinese lanterns have been known to be something of a globe-trotting bunch; Tom recently took some time outto travel in the United States, Ed journeyed to Nepal in September to help locals tackle Everest, and Patrick has recently returned from Thailand. All in all, we love seeing the world and learning about other [...]

 
 

Chinese lanterns in adverse weather

We’re all (painfully) aware of how unpredictable the British weather can be, and although we like to do everything possible to ensure the sun shines for your special occasion (things we have tried in the past are anti-rain dances, wishing with Chinese lanterns, shouting at the weather man if he predicts rain), there are unfortunately [...]

 
 

How your Chinese lanterns work

Although it might seem as though Chinese lanterns work by magic (a common misconception, established by the stunning way in which they float into the night), it is not so. We’ve done our science homework, and have discovered that it is in fact a handy convection current that helps them to fly away, never to [...]

 
 

Chinese lanterns: The Musical

We have often thought that Chinese lanterns would prove to be an excellent basis for a full-scale musical, and have thus enlisted our whole team to begin penning this potentially staggering theatrical feat. So far, along with a loose idea of plot, characters and dramatic development, we’ve come up with a few of the numbers [...]

 
 

Chinese lanterns and the Environment

When planning a celebration with Chinese lanterns, the last thing you want on your conscience is the thought that the remains of the lanterns may be detrimental to the natural world. Our lanterns burn out completely whilst still in the sky, the paper dissolving without a trace, and thus leave minimal material to come back [...]

 
 

Chinese Lanterns help Make a Wish

Giving to charity is extremely important to us at Wishlantern, and thus a percentage of all our profit from sales of Chinese lanterns goes to Make A Wish Foundation, which helps make the dreams of terminally ill children come true. The charity gets thousands of requests from parents, carers, relatives and from the children themselves [...]

 
 

What Chinese lanterns mean to us

For people all around the world, being able to light and celebrate with Chinese lanterns means all sorts of different things. We spoke to one of our friends, the lovely Kate, who recently graduated from university, and held a small gathering of family and friends to mark this momentous occasion. We were delighted to be [...]

 
 

Kids make the funniest wishes

It’s a pretty well- known fact that kids really do say the funniest things. Their unself-conscious approach is really refreshing, and certainly can make for humorous situations when they say whatever comes to mind, without stopping to think first. We at Wishlantern have heard of some bizarre and unusual wishes that have been made during [...]
