Butterflies For Release

What to expect at your butterfly release When planning a butterfly release, it's normally best to pick someone to be in charge of the butterflies. This person should make sure that the butterflies are kept cool till 1.5 - 2 hours before the release. Then they need to take the butterflies off the ice packs so that they can warm up to room temperature. You should not place the butterflies on a heating vent or in a window because they could overheat and that can kill them. If your doing a mass butterfly release...

When it's time to release your butterflies you have two main ways to do it. The first way is called a "Mass Butterfly Release". A mass butterfly release is when you have the butterflies in a release container, and have the bride and groom release them. The second way is called an "Individual Butterfly Release". This is when each butterfly is released by a different person. Both methods work well and are great ways to do a butterfly release. We recommend a mass butterfly release for weddings, and an individual butterfly release for other types of butterfly releases (memorial, educational, etc). This choice is all about personal preference, so choose the one that you would prefer. If you decide have an individual butterfly release, we recommend releasing the butterflies directly from the glassine envelopes. You can make other small containers for the butterflies to be released from, but make sure that anything you use fits tightly against the butterfly so that they can not move their wings. If the butterflies are able to move their wings they can damage them. Why do you call it an "Instant Butterfly Release Container"? Before We Start ~ General Things To Know Each butterfly release container can hold a maximum of 4 butterflies per fold (see the section on placing butterflies the release container for more information). Make sure you have enough release boxes for the number of butterflies you plan on releasing. Before you make your butterfly release container take the time to decorate it. Please remember that if you are going to use any glue other than Hot Glue, or any paint we recommend waiting two weeks before placing butterflies in the release container.

Imagine a Butterfly Release. The bride is holding the top of the release container, and the groom is holding the bottom. The bride then pulls the top of the release container away and suddenly the bride and groom are standing in a cloud of colorful butterflies. Some of the butterflies land on the bride and groom. Some fly away, and some land on other members of the celebration. It's an unforgettable moment and results in amazing memories and beautiful photos!
