So after watching four weddings today and seeing a butterfly release, I got interested in doing one myself. I think it would be super cute and unique since my ceremony and reception are outdoors. Has anyone ever done one or seen one that worked? I don't quite understand the technicalities of it and how the butterflies stay alive, but I've sent an email out to a nearby butterfly farm in hopes for some answers!

    I used to "grow" (?) butterflies I would send away for a package of caterpillar larva, feed and keep them while they cocooned and released them when they became butterflies. But I don’t know about storing them when they’re fully grown…..

    I've always wanted to do those lanterns with my guests at night and they all fly away. I don't see that working out too well in Vegas, though.

    Future Mrs Cody H- You picked one up and put it in your purse!? Did you ask first? That's funny!
