INDIVIDUAL ENVELOPES

Our most popular method of release is individual boxes or envelopes with one butterfly per box. The butterflies are carefully placed in beautiful boxes such as the ones at left. We provide and personalize these boxes free of charge. These boxes are handed out to the guests who are participating in the release. Sometimes this is the the bride and groom, or the wedding party, and sometimes this includes all of the guests. It may be the bride and groom's parents, as the symbolism of their children "taking flight" is a beautiful memory. It might be the children at the function, as they take special delight in opening the boxes and getting an upclose look at the beautiful creature inside. Their laughter and awe as it takes flight is music to everyone's ears!

After the envelopes are distributed, someone might want to read the Native American Butterfly Legend and then the butterflies are released out of their envelopes.

MASS RELEASE
Another popular method is the mass release, or letting the butterflies emerge from one box that is opened to set them free. This is a beautiful and dramatic display. The groom can hold the box as the bride takes off the lid; or, the maid of honor or best man can hold the box and release the butterflies behind the couple as they leave.

RECEPTION DISPLAYS
Another creative way to enjoy the butterflies is to display them in netted cages at the reception or in the vestibule of the church before the ceremony. Afterwards, take the cage outside, as the bride and groom prepare to leave, and release the butterflies during their departure. What a lovely and spectacular way to send them off to spend their lives together.

There are so many creative ways to release. Just give us a call for a private consultation to personalize the method that most suits your occasion.
