When she gets back to me, I'll post it for you!

Does the paper blow away? Then you are just tossing trash into the ocean.

wow! So I was considering a butterfly release and just getting ready to order mine -LUCKILY I read this forum! I would be horrified if all my butterflys were dead! If anyone has a heart they will not do this to those poor butterflys! Cant believe I ever considered it!

We just did a butterfly release at our March 31st wedding and it went very smoothly and was very beautiful.  All of our guests were very touched and absolutely loved the moment.  All of the butterflies flew right out of the box and it was a very special moment.

 

My wedding coordinator at the resort arranged everything for us.  If you want more info, PM me and I'll get the vendor's information for you.
