How do I string paper lanterns overhead?

What size paper lanterns should I hang in 20 x 40ft tent?

• I'm decorating a tent for my wedding. I'm planning to hang about 25 paper lanterns in a 20 x 40ft tent (I think the height is about 10-15ft high). What size paper lanterns are appropriate to hang? I'm planning to purchase 2-3 different sizes to allow for some variety and depth! Thanks!

• Answer:

  this is a math problem. Take the amount of square feet (800) and divide by 25 (# of lanterns), this will give you the amount of space you have for each lantern and that way you can see what size you want. 800/25= 32 feet per lantern (you may want to think of either big ones or adding more). Hope this helps!
