This is my friend, Donna. Our daughters have been friends for a long time. Donna came up with this great idea that I thought you might like.
On graduation night, our families got together and launched Flying Chinese Lanterns in honor of our graduates. Donna gave a sweet toast and we lit the lanterns, each girl holding one until it filled with hot air and rose into the sky. It was a beautiful night and the lanterns looked really pretty floating up, up and away. Everyone was moved by the symbolism. I love this kind of stuff, and this was one of my favorites. What do you do for your graduates?
Linking up to some of these fabulous parties:
What a great idea! Congrats to your daughter on graduating, how exciting! I hope you have a wonderful week, thanks for sharing at Sunday Round Up!

Thanks, Bella!
I love this idea. What a beautiful sight it would have been. Wouldn’t it be amazing to see a whole graduation class doing this? So cool.
That would be an amazing sight, Jodi! I think it would elicit a huge sense of community pride to see them going up for a whole class. Great idea!
I love this idea. The girls look so happy. You must be so proud. Thanks somuch for sharing at Whimsy Wednesdays.
Thanks, Jenny! The girls were very happy, and they loved the launch as much as their families did.
