The French Tennis Open tournament begins today on the famous clay courts this grand slam tournament is known for.  The red dirt of the courts baffles and frustrates some players while others shine in this tournament.  For the fans, whether courtside or watching on the television, there are many matches to keep an eye on, especially during the first few days of competition. There will be downtime though and some of this downtime is between games.  What better than to send some lanterns up to wish your favourite player good luck in their upcoming match?

NightSkyLanterns.co.uk has numerous different paper lantern options for sending messages of luck or even sending up messages of anger to players who did not win and should have.  For that matter, the process of sending up lanterns can be therapeutic should your favourite player miss an opportunity to advance because of poor officiating as well.  For occasions like this, white traditional sky lanterns are a perfect starting point for well wishing or to serve as a canvas for a quickly drawn effigy.  These lanterns are very much like the original Chinese lanterns which have been around for centuries with modern touches to make them more convenient and far safer than the original Chinese Hanging Lanterns from years ago.  The white paper can be written on with permanent marker, making them a great place to start for any message and with the provided fuel cell, they can float for up to 15 miles before gently falling back to the ground.  While they won’t traverse the English Channel, they will make it part of the way to France if set to float on the beach.

For the more serious tennis fan who is planning on entertaining during the French Open, NightSkyLanterns.co.uk sells party packs.  These party packs, available here: http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/lantern-packs/party-packages/prod_20.html have everything in them to help make any party a success.  On top of including twelve mixed colour traditional sky lanterns, the party pack also includes other night-specific fun items.  Our sister site, Glowstickcity.co.uk has provided us with ample glowsticks to make a night time after party for the tennis tournament a rousing success.  In our small party pack, we include 100 8inch long glowsticks as well as connectors.  They can be used to make bracelets, linked together to make necklaces and more.  The small party pack also includes four ice fountains.  These ice fountains produce an effect very similar to a traditional sparkler but in a much safer and easier to use package.  Used at night, the ice fountain produces a beautiful effect plus they can safely be used indoors.  These party packs can be scaled up to suit any size party.  The small is perfect for four people and the large, which includes 48 lanterns, 400 glowsticks and 16 ice fountains is perfect for 16 or more people.  Party packs give you access to our floating lanterns as well as other products from NightSkyLanterns.co.uk with a tremendous discount over buying these items separately as well.
