Releasing butterflies instead of doves?

I've just googled it and come across this website:-

http://www.gribblybugs.com/13.html

I think it would look really pretty

Omg that would totally freak me out!! i have a phobia of them lol

plus, i think doves would be more willing to leave....butterflies dont really have much sense of direction!

Is this a wind up?

?

that was my inital reaction, but having found the website i found out it wasn't. I've never heard of it before

Sorry but I think both are cruel. Butterflies are not meant to be caged up, I can't imagine the trauma they must go through.

I know it can physically be done, and I know it's been done before as a wind up!

my daughter's teacher had the idea of having this as a class pet!!

they bought the kit and the kids looked after them as caterpillars (?) then studied them until they 'hatched/grew' (??) turned into butterflies-then they had a mass butterfly release on the field in front of the whole school!!

(So while she is really struggling with maths, at least she does know how to feed a caterpillar a lettuce leaf)

Yeah thinking about it, it does seem cruel. Couldn't believe that they would deliver them the day before the wedding! wouldn't like the idea of have a load of butterflies in the house! would have a fear of waking up and be attacked by butterflies ?

Fully agree with you there, .....and i still have a phobia.

OMG .....thats it i'm going in a major huff.....as of now! PHOBIA!!!!

now OH is threatening to get these!!! oh how i love his sick and twisted sense of 'humour'??

Trickers, you dropped this...

"Tacky"

I have been told a lot of butterflies day during the process, which is rahter sad really, isnt it?

Plus, certain times of year they wouldn't survive the outside temperatures.

OMG this has to be a joke, how tacky and why would you? ?

No it wasnt a joke, saw it on 4 weddings I think and wondered it if it really existed? Doesnt sound too popular though, lol!

I could do you a deal on some beautifully coloured moths?!

Cruel. It makes me feel sad that people would keep butterflies all smooshed up like that just for the sake of a 2-minute spectacle on their wedding day.

They poo on you, ew gross! think it was 4 weddings in the US I saw it on.
