You have ordered your butterflies and they are on their way. Now you find out that it is going to rain. What do you do? Naturally, you can not release your butterflies if it is raining. You would not want to stand in the rain to release them and they just would not fly anyways.

But do not worry. You can plan ahead for this. A beautiful hanging cage can be made for your butterflies to be used at the reception or even viewed as guests enter into your wedding. Or you can make up lovely baskets of flowers and cover these baskets with tulle. Place the butterflies inside and now you have lovely centerpieces. You can then release the butterflies at a later date whenever the rain stops. You will want to mist the butterflies if they are going to be in the display cages for a long period of time. You can also feed them watermelon Gatorade. Your guests will love watching them.

Talk with your butterfly farmer to help you decide how to plan in case of rain. Many farmers have display cages that you can purchase or even rent. Some will even explain on how to make your own. So don't let rain dampen your day with the your butterflies. Your guests will marvel at the displays, and you will be able to release the butterflies later when it no longer is raining.
