Did you bring the sky lanterns with you in your luggage or purchase them in Mexico?  I saw a great deal to purchase them online a few weeks ago and wanted to so badly but I didn't think we could take those fuel packs on the plane with us so I didn't buy them. 

Thank you so much for your lovely comments!

I purchased my sky lanterns on EBay and they were the weight of a feather. We packed them in one of our suitcases, and they really didnt add any extra weight at all. We had no problems checking the bags with them in it.

My sister bought plain white and pink hoodies and took them to a store that does personalized embroidery!

Did each guest have their own sky lantern or did each couple share one? I have enough for each COUPLE, not for each person.. not sure if i should buy more or not.. thoughts??

[JoanneIreland]

You need two people to hold the lantern while it gets warmed up and airborne, so even if you have one per person, they'll still have to do it in pairs.

We told everyone to make a wish as they released them, so I really think one per couple is the ideal way to do it, makes it all the more sweeter and romantic!
