    I am wondering how to decide how many paper lanterns to have for our reception. I want to mix three diffeerent colors in three different sizes but need a number for the total number. Any suggestions?

     

    Thanks!

    Yes. Thanks! This isn't exactly the set up chairs I plan to use, but it's close.

    Are you going for the whole venue or just the dance floor?

    I think we would rather have them spaced across the whole room.

    I know for my venue (pics are posted) I am ordering at LEAST 6 in 3 different sizes and 3 different colors, I would rather have them and not need them,then need them and not have them.  So I am ordering 36.  they are cheap at oriental trading company.  However my venue is outside and I will not have to actually light them up.   And that is the look I am going for.  So, thats just what I am doing...

    So it really depends on the look you are going for I would suppose.

    Thank you. Just having that to compare to is a nice starting place. I should probably contact someone at the venue and ask for their advice. Thanks everyone.
