The month of July is honoured as Family Reunion Month and as such many people around the world are gathering with their family they have not seen in awhile to reconnect. In families a lot can happen throughout the years. People change careers, there are births and deaths. Having a family reunion is a great way to catch up on all that has happened in your family. A lot of times people choose a central location and take a weekend or even as long as a week to plan family activities and picnics all with the idea of reconnecting with the family. If you are planning a family reunion in July, or any other time for that matter, add Chinese Hanging Lanterns to the festivities. Chinese Hanging Lanterns are a great way to celebrate a family reunion and have a great time doing it.

Personalise the Chinese Hanging Lanterns for a festive family reunion

One of the fun ways to add to a family reunion is to personalise the Chinese Hanging Lanterns . Not only will it ensure the Chinese Hanging Lanterns are specific to your family reunion but it is a great way to get the children involved in a craft project that will keep them busy for awhile. You can use the Chinese Hanging Lanterns to write names and well wishes on them prior to them being launched. The ways you can personalise them are limited only by your imagination. You may, for example, choose to write all the names of the family members who passed on in remembrance of them and to honour them. Or, you may choose to write all the names of the people who are in attendance on the Chinese Hanging Lanterns and let each one release them.

A fun family reunion game you can play is each person chooses a pre customised paper lantern. The person who gets it reads the name and tells a story about the person on it as it relates to them. This is a great way to let people know something they may not have known about someone in their family and is a fun activity. After the person tells the story the paper lantern can then be lit and released. After everyone has a turn the sky will be alight with the glow of many Chinese Hanging Lanterns that can be seen for miles.

What kind of Chinese Hanging Lanterns should be used for family reunions?

Just about any kind of lantern can be used to help celebrate family reunion month. Traditional white or evencylindrical Chinese Hanging Lanterns  can be used. For some more flair you can use coloured lanterns and get a variety of different colours. You may even want to get a coloured paper lantern package where you can have an assortment in the amount you will need so everyone at the family reunion will have one.

Using Chinese Hanging Lanterns is a great way to add some fun and creativity to any special occasion. During the month of July, which is Family Reunion Month, it is a great time to plan your next family reunion and the special activities you will have during then. Don’t forget the Chinese Hanging Lanterns .
