Has anyone ever released live butterflies at their wedding?

Never saw it, but it sounds like a marvelous idea, go for it!\n\nAs for arriving alive, I've seen a lot of things shipped, and as long as most survive okay, it will work.  Remember, these are pretty fragile when you pile a bunch in a box and ship them anywhere.  The trick, just like when you see a dead animal on the road--don't look too closely--so a wedding is the wrong time to dwell on the numbers dead in the box. Get someone to move those that survived to a larger decorated or more presentable box or very large set of jars before the time to release them.   They will need to get their wings unbent, a sort of stretching time of having more room to roam. It will be a mental decompression time for them after being almost traumatized over being packed together for the trip.  You will want to feed them, probably a hummingbird feeder but you don't need color in the sugared water.  Still, they will be happy to be free and it will be a pleasant amazement as they flutter around your guests.  Not too many bugs in the world we look upon with joy and appreciation, considering that in the wild they would just be some bird's lunch you are doing them no harm.

There is something called ecofetti that dissolves instantly with water - it is fairly cheap and you can mix it with flower petals like lavender and it smells so good!!\n\nYou can blow whistles - that was fun - loud but fun!\n\nI have also seen paper airplanes being thrown AROUND the bride and groom.  That was cool as well.

HOW COOL! \n\nwhat a fantastic "concept" wedding!\n\nI would go to the goodwill, vintage shops and on ebay..see if you can find a vintage tea length wedding gown and maybe some taffeta bridesmaids dresses (or have reproductions made) and "old style" tuxes. (it sounds to me as if you are going more for the elegant lounge thing than the fonzie thing here?)\n\nlook up some old bridal magazines and see if anyone you know has photos from their weddings in "the day".\n\nmaybe you can either get some vintage invites or have repo's made that are reminiscent of that romantic era.\n\nI would see if you can either get an oldies band or start burning cds with some frank, dean and other classic crooners. and find a dj. \n\nfor decorations just fine linens and a cake. but check out the old bridal mags...i f you want guests to "dress the age" then on the invite i guess you could put "sharkskin suit and crinoline skirts optional"\n\nit sounds wonderful! I just found a box of old photos of my parents and uncles weddings....they look so elegant!\n\ngood luck!

I walked down the aisle while a pianist played Cat Stevens' "Hard Headed Woman".  I'd heard the song and thought it was very pretty.  No one in the church other than the groom, the musician, and I knew the name of the song being played.  I am so very happy I used it!\n\nOther music used in the ceremony was more traditional--Ode to Joy, for example, but the song I remember the best is Cat's gentle one.\n"And if I find a hard headed woman\nI know the rest of my life will be blessed."\n(31 years later and my husband is still pleased with the song (though he has days of thinking he would have rather found a less stubborn woman!)

No, but we had exotic dancers at our wedding.  We're just wild that way.

You could have a small ceremony like on a beach or something with a reception at your house in backyard with a bbq or something. I just attended a wedding like this and it was really fun.

1. For a unique party favor my groom and I are giving out lottery tickets. Only $1 each.. I will have a note in the program stating the tickets were chosen because we are so lucky to have our family and friends with us on our wedding day.\nI will also add a line that all winnings will need to be split with the bride and groom!\n\n 2. Instead of having an ordinary guestbook, that you hardly will look at again, I am going to create a photo guest book.  My guestbook attendants will take polaroids of each guest... either individually or in a group, however they come, and put it on the pages of the guestbook/scrapbook.  The guests will then sign on the bottom of their picture.  My fiance and I will then have a photo album of all the guests at our wedding! :) GST\n\n3. We are getting married next year and instead of the traditional wedding we have decided to go with a "rock-n-roll" theme. We are going to have records displayed around the hall with our names on them and a picture of the two of us. Our colors are navy blue, black and silver so there will be plenty of those colors…from the silver glitter on the black tables cloths to the silver spray painted roses.\n\n 4. Since this is a second marriage and there are children that will be blended into a new family, we are decorating the tables at the reception with photo trees holding photos of my future husband and I and our children doing things together. We feel it shows that this marriage is not the union of just two people, but the formation of a new family.\n\n5. We had a shortage of single men and women invited to our wedding, most of our friends and family were already married.  So we needed to come up with something different to replace the traditional bouquet and garter throwing.  We invited everyone to the dance floor and the dj played several lovely, slow songs.  First the dj told all couples married two hours or less to sit down (everyone got a kick out of that).  Then a few moments later, any married a year or less, than five years, ten years and so on, until there was only one couple left.  They were neighbors and friends of my family and had been married for fifty years.  We asked them to stay on the dance floor while I took a seat and my husband made a big show of removing my garter.  We then faced the winning couple, congratulated them on their fifty years and asked them for their best marriage advice as we presented them with the bouquet and garter.  They were very touched and it gave us a great feeling too.

Absolutely.  I just got married and I had an "ex-girlfriend" only table at the wedding.  One of the highlights of our wedding album is a picture of my wife and I along with the 4 ex's.
