Another alternative is sky lanterns though I would advise extreme caution if using these as sadly a lady was recently burned by the fuel cell. If you do decide to use them, make sure someone sensible and sober is in charge of proceedings and use them away from buildings or trees where they could become lodged. Look for ones made of fire retardant paper for extra safety.
One thing that may persuade you of the beauty of sky lanterns is the Disney film Tangled as shown below.
