Traditional sky lanterns are often used for formal events. Weddings are especially popular events for using sky lanterns but they can also be used for any occasion where you want to light up the night sky in grand style. The uses for Chinese lanterns are limited only by your imagination. But traditional sky lanterns are what are most often thought of when having an event. However, you may not know that there are also novelty sky lanterns available in different colours, sizes and shapes. These are incredibly fun additions to any get together and can be used for a bit of fun flair to the evening.

Heart Shaped Sky Lanterns

One popular novelty shape is the heart shaped flying lantern found at http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/novelty-sky-lanterns/heart-shaped-sky-lanterns/prod_17.html. This is a great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. But it is also a great way to represent your love at any time of the year. Consider you and your sweetheart having a romantic evening outdoors and setting off a heart shaped sky lantern. It is also a perfect addition to a wedding or anniversary celebration. The heart shaped paper lantern is a beautiful contrast against a backdrop of white traditional sky lanterns.

Football Sky Lanterns

You don’t have to have a formal event to set off sky lanterns. Why not use Chinese Hanging Lanterns when you have a few friends and family over to watch the big game? World Cup and beyond is perfect for launching the football sky lanterns as found at http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/novelty-sky-lanterns/football-sky-lanterns/prod_26.html. When you score or win you can launch a sky lantern. Or, you can start the evening off in grand fashion by wishing your favourite team luck with a flying lantern launch.

Mega Cube Lanterns

If traditional sky lanterns just don’t make enough impact for you, you can choose the mega cube lanterns such as the ones found at http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/novelty-sky-lanterns/mega-cube-lanterns/prod_28.html. These are the largest available sky lanterns and can be used for any occasion. For an added touch, use a sharpie marker and personalize it. Each person at the gathering can make a wish, say a prayer, write a limerick or draw a picture on the paper lantern before setting it off. This adds a bit of interest and interactive fun.

Smile Face Sky Lanterns

Nothing says happiness better than the symbol of a smiley face. So, what better way to celebrate a happy occasion than with smile face sky lanterns? The ones found at http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/novelty-sky-lanterns/smiley-face-sky-lanterns/prod_38.html are a classic happy face that is bound to make anyone’s day. Celebrate a promotion, birth of a child or engagement with these sky lanterns and put a smile on everyone’s face.

Coloured Sky Lanterns

If you want a bit of tradition but want to add a little extra flash to your party simply get coloured night sky lanterns. The coloured lanterns come in red, yellow, orange, blue and pink. You can get them individually or a mixture of all different colours. You can even purchase party packages that are ideal for any occasion.
