Paper Lantern Store has the world's largest selection of paper lanterns, lights, and decor — 24 years of fast shipping from our Union City, California warehouse.
We started in 2002 as a small, American-owned import business. We're still American-owned, and we still pick, inspect, and pack every order ourselves in Union City. When you call, someone here answers.
More than 6,000 products across ten families: round, oval, star, and shaped paper lanterns; nylon and silk lanterns; paper and nylon parasols; hand fans; battery-powered LED light kits; commercial outdoor string lights; mason jar lights; and table top decor. Most bulk items ship in packs of 10, 12, or 50 — sized for people buying for one wedding, one party, one event, not for a warehouse.
Our paper lanterns, parasols, and hand fans are hand-crafted and inspected to ensure premium quality. Most of our party lights, LED lights, and holiday string lights are UL-Listed — tested and certified to meet US safety standards.
Orders ship from Union City, California, with most processing the next business day. Orders over $99 ship free within the continental US. Our friendly customer service team is ready to help by phone, email, or chat — and they've talked enough people through enough events to know which questions come up the week before.
Our lanterns and lights have been featured by Martha Stewart Living, Better Homes & Gardens, HGTV, The Knot, Brides, Elle Decor, Country Living, InStyle, and Apartment Therapy.
Hi — Clark here, I lead marketing for Paper Lantern Store. I've been with PLS since 2015, and the thing that still surprises me is how specific the questions are. How many lanterns fill a 20-foot tent. Whether the warm white kits look yellow next to string lights. What survives an outdoor reception in July. We'd rather answer those plainly than sell you an atmosphere. If we've gotten something wrong on this site, tell us — I read it.
