Salute Friend

The idea of the wish lantern, is that you make a wish as you launch them. This is what sets the wish lantern apart from the sky lantern or Chinese lantern. The wishes attached to them are what makes this unique product so special. So never forget to make a wish when you launch a lantern otherwise you have no right to even call it a wish lantern. As far as when exactly you make your wish is concerned, well, that is entirely up to you. Yu may wish to wish as you light the fuel cell. Some people attach a great deal of importance to fire, people are superstitious about it. Think where the ritual of blowing out candles as you make a wish comes from.. You may, however prefer to make your wish as the lantern inflates. You could then interpret the inflating of the lantern as a sign that it is filling up with you wishes and thoughts. Alternatively make your wish as you release the lantern into the sky. This is the option that most people feel comfortable with. Like sending a letter to Father Christmas through the chimney, you are sending your wishes into the sky with the lantern
