Butterfly Alternative?

@Britti, decision made! I've been trying to figure out a good job for some of the younger kids in our families who are begging to be involved!

If your program just calls them "releasers" then they could release bubbles. I like the bubble idea, I'm using it! Lol

@ Devon- unless they are tossing birdseed or something dissolves in water you are still hurting the environment. Glitter and sometimes confetti is made of plastic.

Another vote for bubbles!

Very glad the butterfly order did not come through. OP, that is a terribly cruel thing to do with a live creature. They were not born just to die as colorful props for your wedding photos.

It is heartless to release butterflies without regard to season or weather, releasing in the cold months or cites or in the rain is cruel. Releasing them outside their range or appropriate season means you'll shorten their already short lives.

Might as well let your 'releasers' just stab them with a pin.

Please Stop This Fucking Awful Wedding Practice.

Although I have the feeling OP still ordered them after a four page thread about why not to do this.

Jacks, she already ordered them. I think. They just aren't going to come in on time.

Dress them as Mother of Dragons and let them release the dragons.

Or Krakens.

What about bubbles or confetti poppers? Obviously only if your venue allows confetti but that could make for some bitchin pics!

Lol, release the kraken. I'm dying!

I think Jack's was talking about the last thred on how awful they are.

Bubbles. Lots of bubbles...

Please don't ever involve any sort of animal cruelty into your life or your wedding. Don't use confetti or anything that isn't biodegradable, also avoid rice since that swells in birds digestive systems.

Bubbles for the win!!!

Release birds. By birds, I mean ostriches.

Oh my gosh bubble guns! I think I know what my girls are using instead of wands now! OP don't release anything that is alive. So cruel.

Maybe you could rent velociraptors?

And yes I was talking about a thread about a month ago where we discussed this at length I believe with OP. It appears she was trying to do it anyway.

OP, what are you going to do with all the butterflies now?

I want a bubble gun.

Has anyone read the article where the butterflies were placed in white envelopes on white chairs and the guests all sat on them? Please don't use living things!

As an aside, I have a ridiculous fear of flying bugs, so releasing a couple hundred butterflies would turn me into a screaming lunatic and I'd be the talk of your wedding. Cool for no one! Just saying

Please no butterflies. I thought that was illegal in some places. If not, it should be. Bubbles. Do the bubbles.
