What size paper lanterns?

[KARALANE]

What size do you think for big lanterns? I am debating between 12-16 any thoughts? TIA

well 16 is the larger size so it would be the size of a beach ball.

I bought 18- 10" & 12- 12". I'm renting wiring from Dreams Resort (Cabo)

I used 12 and 18 inch lanterns because I didn't want a uniform look. I bought the lanters from asianideas.com and had 24 total. Dreams charged me $180 to wire them up- they looked great...

 

I also bought table lanterns from the dollar store. They used AA batteries and sat on the tables.

 

Here's a pic that shows the table lanterns and the hanging lanterns...
