paper lanterns & response cards

The box of paper lanterns arrived today via the postal carrier. The lanterns are bright and I like them, but the LED lights don't seem to be bright enough to actually make a nice enough glow inside the lanterns. Maybe I will try another kind of LED light to see if it works any better.

Also in the mail, the sample response card that I ordered came as well. It has cherry blossoms on it, so now I have to see how it matches with the cherry blossom invitations when those arrive from Paper Source.

I found some beautiful pink pagoda shaped paper lanterns on-line a few weeks ago. I was going to order some for wedding reception decorations, but when I went to order them last weekend they were out of stock. When I just checked tonight, they were available again, so a half dozen are on the way to the house. They make LED faux tea lights now, so I also ordered a pack of those to go inside of the paper lanterns. That way the whole reception hall won't burn down because we put open flame inside a paper lantern. I bet Lake Opechee Inn will appreciate that.
