Butterfly release

I agree with everyone else, the butterflies wouldn't be a good idea. What about sparklers, bubbles, or glow sticks?

Monica...? Will you come back and let us know you've decided to nix the butterfly idea and go with something more romantic and less morbid instead?

Terrible idea.

Go for bubbles. My friends daughter did this at her lavish birthday party and my butterfly was dead. It was super sad

Our venue charges extra for flower pedals and won't allow glitter. We're considering having mini bells that people can ring and take home afterwards or throw away themselves.

@Celia- puppy releases are an option?! Can I have that done into my house so I can play with them?!

I went to a wedding that did this. The MOB did it as a surprise and most of the guests and wedding party were uncomfortable with it (me included). It wasn't pretty, Please don't do this.

eta - I agree with the bubbles

Hi guys! Thanks for all the feedback. It was definitely what i needed. Looks like we'll be doing bubbles. I don't need any kids traumatized by dead butterflies lol. Besides that they are expensive. Thanks again!

You do know that butterflies are extremely delicate and important to the ecosystem and that by doing this, you are killing a bunch of insects that could be pollinating a field of food instead of being "pretty props" at your fucking wedding?

Don't do it ! Not healthy for the butterflies

Aww. Dont do this. Cruelty. I am having maracas! With a a nice sign! Try bubbles

Guys, learn to read the comments. She decided not to do it.

Monica, thanks for updating us and changing your mind! Bubbles look beautiful in photos, I promise!

Yay for bubbles instead!!

Seriously, people definitely need to read the comments before going on mini rampages.

OP, glad you decided against it!

OP you should probably update your post to say you aren't doing butterflies. Otherwise people will continue to respond to your original post in outrage lol

EM, let's be honest, people will do that regardless because they'll just look at the subject line and not give a shit about being informed.

Monica- leave the thread so future brides can see, but maybe update your title to "update-NOT doing a butterfly release" so people know they can stop commenting to you like you are now that you know better and have decided not to.

There is hope for humanity! @OP, glad you decided against this.

Another idea is this, wedding wands. I DIY mine and they are very pretty (this are from pinterest)

Please spare the butterflies and do bubbles instead.
