How Do You Release Butterflies At A Wedding?
• Contact a reputable butterfly breeder. • Decide how many dozen butterflies and the species you wish to release. Butterflies are sold by the dozen and a good release usually consists of between 3-6 dozen. Monarchs are the most-requested butterfly, but other species are available at different times of the year. • Decide how you want to release them. There are two ways to release butterflies: (1) individually, where the butterflies are packed securely in small glassine envelopes, and are distributed to your guests. At the appropriate time, the envelopes are opened and the butterflies fly out. (2) in a mass release cage, where the butterflies are transferred into a see-through container, where they flit and flutter before the couple removes the top and the butterflies fly out. Instructions are included for how to transfer the butterflies from their envelopes to the cage. *It’s not difficult!
