Butterflies are a small creature, but they are symbols for cultures and religions across the globe. For many, they are a sign of change and transition. They represent life, endurance, hope, growth, celebration and rebirth. They are also associated with the soul. For such tiny insects, these creatures carry a lot of meaning. For all they represent, releasing butterflies at an event – a wedding, a graduation, a milestone birthday or even a funeral – can be a beautifully significant, and unique, moment that guests will never forget.

Butterfly Release Symbolism
Several different cultures have their own beliefs about the butterfly. In Greek mythology, Psyche (which literally translates to “soul”) is represented by the butterfly. Psyche is linked to Eros, the god of love, through their passionate romance. Therefore, according to the Greeks, the butterfly represents romantic love.

In some Native American cultures, the butterfly enables wishes to come true. According to the belief, a person must capture a butterfly and whisper their wish to it. When they let it go, it soars wordlessly up to the heavens, where only the Creator can hear the wish and ultimately grant it.

In Ireland, butterflies are said to carry the souls of the dead as they wait to pass through purgatory. It is prohibited to kill a white butterfly, because these butterflies are said to carry the souls of departed children. Butterflies are believed to carry the souls of the departed in Mexico as well, as they tend to migrate to the country during the celebration known as the Day of the Dead.

The butterfly undergoes a major transformation throughout its life, starting out as a caterpillar turning into chrysalis and ultimately transforming into a butterfly. This metamorphosis is significant of the soul in many belief systems. We undergo many changes throughout our lifetime, as we experience twists and turns, and when we reach the end, we are no longer the same as when we started. In essence, we experience our own metamorphosis.

Why Do a Butterfly Release?
A butterfly release can be used in many types of situations. It can be used in happy occasions, such as a wedding. A wedding is a time of joy and celebration. It is the union of two souls embarking on a new adventure. Butterflies can be used to represent this love. They can also be released by guests who want to send their wishes for the newlyweds up to the heavens in hopes that they come true.

They can also be used in times of mourning, such a funeral or a memorial service. While a funeral is a sad occasion, it is also a time of celebration, as you remember the life of your loved one. Releasing butterflies can offer comfort. This gesture can also give a physical representation of your loved one’s soul as it departs from this life onto its next one, be it in the afterlife or in the form of a new life on Earth.

The Painted Lady Butterfly
The most popular type of butterfly used for release is the Painted Lady Butterfly which their butterfly release packages are featured on this page. These butterflies are similar to Monarchs in many ways. They have similar colors, a similar flight pattern, and are also quite sociable. The biggest difference between the two is that the Painted Lady is slightly smaller, though it is still one of the larger butterflies. These butterflies can be shipped throughout the United States.

The Monarch Butterfly
While some choose to release Painted Lady butterflies, it is the Monarch butterfly that is most known and used. This is due for several reasons. One, the Monarch is much larger than most other breeds of butterfly. It can also thrive in cooler temperatures, so it can be set free in a variety of locations. It is also a slower flyer, and is much more sociable. Monarchs tend to linger and interact with you and your guests for a while before they head off in search of food and shelter.

Monarchs are native to much of the United States, except for west of the Continental Divide. For this reason, they cannot be shipped west of that line. This is why our Painted Lady Butterfly release packages are your best choice.

Types of Butterfly Releases
There are two types of butterfly releases. The first is a mass release. This is when one box full of butterflies is opened, allowing all of the butterflies to be freed from one location. In the instance of a wedding, you and your new spouse may choose to do this at the end of your ceremony. In the instance of a funeral, you and other immediate family members may release the box together, letting the soul of your loved one travel to its next destination.

The second type of butterfly release is an individual release. With this release, each guest is handed an origami envelope, which is often inscribed, that contains a singular butterfly. When a signal is given, each guest can open their envelope and let their butterfly fly free.

Buy Butterflies To Release
When you place an order for butterflies from Cloverlawn Butterflies Butterfly Release Company, they are, with few exceptions, shipped to arrive the day before your event. They are sent in individual envelopes, for their safety, with an icepack to keep them in a dormant state. Upon arrival, it is recommended that you change the icepack, keeping the box out of the fridge or freezer.
The Day of Your Butterfly Release Event
On the day of your event, if you are performing a mass release, you may need to transfer your individual butterflies into the box from which they will be set free. This should be done while they are still dormant. For an individual release, they can stay in their envelopes.
Give your butterflies at least half an hour to an hour to warm up and wake up. If you are handing out individual envelopes, give them out as close to the release time as possible. Let your guests, especially the younger ones, know to handle those envelopes with care in order to keep their butterfly safe.
The Butterfly Release Process
Before you let your butterflies go, it is important to keep a few things in mind. First, they should be freed outside during daylight hours. It should also be a day that is free of rain and extreme wind. Otherwise, your butterflies won’t fly. The temperature should be moderate, no cooler than 65 degrees, but no warmer than 80. These factors will give you the greatest success for a touching moment.
Video: How To Guide on Releasing Butterflies
View an example of opening a delivered butterfly release product in the video below.
If you are performing a mass release, you and anyone else letting the butterflies go should give the box a light shake to motivate your butterflies and then lift the lid, allowing the insects to soar free. This can be done at any time you have decided. For an individual release, you can give a signal for your guests to release their butterflies at the same time, unless you have made some other plan, such as each person freeing their butterfly after sharing a story.
No matter how you choose to release your butterflies, the moment it happens is one of beauty, grace and awe. Give your guests a memorable experience full of meaning by setting these beautiful creatures into the air at your next special event.
