Chinese lanterns - sky lanterns help? Best ones?

Saw quite a few at Glastonbury - I have a Wedding and a Birthday to go to and thought about getting a few - Had a look on ebay - all sorts of colours/shapes/sizes and costs? Anyone got any good advice?

I want to send one off on my Daughters Birthday and get all the kids to write their wishes on it - but we don't have a big Garden - would it be safe to launch in a front driveway if its not too windy? At the wedding there is plenty of space so thats ok but are some easier to set up launch than others?

Thanks!

I have used these guys in the past - www.chineselanterns.co.uk

I saw these and other styles being let off in Kings Meadow and can confirm that these were the best style for good inflation and ease of release.

The coloured ones looked really good going up.

Don't do what I did and try to first time and release them in any wind or very cold weather

Enjoy.
