Releases are for all occasions:
Butterfly releases are not only provided for weddings. Any occasion can benefit from the beauty and magic of a release.

Release Styles:
You can choose an individual triangle release or a mass container release. The individual triangle release is great for small personal occasions, letting you or your guest(s) get more personally involved with your special day and the magic of butterflies. Tell us about the theme color of your event so that we can add suitable accessory ribbons to the releasing container, or paper triangles to match your color.

Payment:
All orders needing four day notice must be paid for upon the placing of the order. When longer notice is needed a 50% down payment will be required when placing the order, and the other 50% four days before the release. If an order is cancelled with one week notice, the down payment will be returned. If less than one week cancellation notice is given, there will be no refund. All butterfly releases must be performed outdoors.

Environmental Conditions needed for a Release:
Butterflies need warm sunny conditions to be able to fly their best, so a butterfly release is best performed in the daytime, in an open outdoor area. Strong wind, cool temperature and a release time later than 5pm are unfavorable conditions for a butterfly release. Butterflies should not be released inside a building, as they will not be able to find their way out. Please support our conservation efforts and perform all butterfly releases outdoors. We always include extra butterflies incase of butterfly damage in transit before the release.

All butterflies are guaranteed to fly, except when there is a lack of light, it is late evening or if they have been picked up and squashed by guests.

Outside of Bohol:
For people who would like to order a butterfly release for outside of Bohol, a minimum order of 2500pesos is required (plus delivery). Payments for orders outside of Bohol can be made by bank deposit at BPI or via Western Union money order. Payment must be received five working days before delivery date.

Butterflies are shipped in triangular envelopes for their safety. They are packed in a padded box with cooling bottles. The cooler temperature naturally calms the butterflies into an inactive state. Butterflies are sent via overnight delivery to arrive the day before the wedding. When the butterflies arrive, place the shipping container in a cool, dark area (and away from ants) so they remain calm and inactive.

We do not supply releasing containers for orders outside of Bohol. Also we will not guarantee butterfly releases outside of Bohol.

To perform a triangle release, you can keep the butterflies in the same triangle as shipped in (or transfer to your own color triangles). It is nice to put the triangles into a basket or such so that you can give them to individual guests to release. Leave the butterflies in a light warm place for about 15mins before the release, this allows the butterfly to become active. The guest should hold the triangle by the edges so as not to squash the butterfly, (then all together), simply unfold the triangle to release the butterflies.

We Are A Conservation Center:
Simply Butterflies is founded on butterfly conservation principles. We release only butterflies we breed, not taking them from the wild in order for financial gains. Simply Butterflies hand raised all our butterflies at the conservation center (or they are provided by our sub breeders) in Bilar, Bohol. We hold the required DENR wildlife breeding permits to breed butterflies. To protect and strengthen the natural environment for the butterflies is our aim.

Our garden and enclosure make a great place for your pre-wedding photos or we can host your wedding. Come and enjoy first hand the butterflies we showcase at Simply Butterflies Conservation Center in Bilar.

Order Assembly Time:
Butterflies on average take 3-4weeks to breed from egg to adults and longer for larger butterflies. For selected individual color butterfly orders it is important to allow us this time to fulfill an order to insure that the butterflies are of the same young healthy age. Adult butterflies live for an average of two weeks. They are best released when only a few days old.

The promo deals are a little cheaper than individually selected butterflies because the promo deal butterflies are mixed in color and size and are stock that we have on hand at the time. If you only want a selected color, whites, light cream mix, black&whites etc, it is best to order individual butterflies. A triangle release preformed with a dozen butterflies makes for an elegant sight. Magical memories with selected color butterflies needs advance notice to create that pure release.
