butterfly's that fly out of the napkins!

Original post by CJ32

These are expensive but such a cool idea--the first link shows how it works (you have to click on 'how it works'--the second link is the best price for them. I won't know if I can budget these until the very end--but I hope I can!!!http://www.magicflyer.com/main_int.php
I would have them put inside the napkins (saw this on Wi channel) for the sit down dinner

I have never seen anything like this. How exactly does this work? Real or fake butterflies. I dont see a video to view




they are fake butterfly's---they have some kind of wind-up technique so that when you open the napkin or envelope they fly up into the air--they are pretty good in size--they look to be double the size of a real butterfly



Is this to do at a wedding reception? or anywhere? Where do they go after they have been opened??

they are made of paper--so they fall on the floor, the guest would pick them up I assume, most likely to get a better look at them. They can then take them home or leave them behind. The idea is that when they open their napkin a butterfly fly's out.

Ok stupid question but did it interfere with anything...if its that big, did it knock into cp's like for those who have high cp's? I always get the napkin when im halfway about to sit so it wouldnt go straight up, i know i think of weird things lol but for those of us who didnt see the show i think its real hard to picture lol.

Yes there is a video in the first link i sent-- you have to click on how it works--and i don't think they would interfere with the centerpieces--they can't be that strong because they look to be made out of paper--i think its just a quick surprise for the guests --its cute because its so unexpected

YEAH NOT LIKE i expect it to knock it down by maybe break a flower make a petal fall off. The wind up thing has to be a bit hard im guessing ...yeah i have to see the video but i cant view it from work, its not working

I think you just have to roll your mouse over the little pic then it goes to video. I can do without, cute but kinda silly. You know if you have alot of kids at your wedd they will get a kick out of it. I may get it for my nephew for his bday or xmas in a card, instead of at a wedd

the wedding planner put them in the napkins--the napkins were folded like the triangle fortune cookie looking fold (that standard easy fold), and they were put in one of the side folds. If you have a planner or DOC, they could do it, if not maybe your Matre D

WOW they shoot up pretty high...so what did the bride do on 'rich bride, poor bride' make them open it at a certain time? Did any older guests get scared lol. I dont really like butterflies lol but im just curious as to how this works, like are things constantly flying up at the reception?




I don't think she had them open all at once--though i like that idea for a smaller wedding. They only fly open once, however the guest can keep them and reuse them--they have to be wound up again. It does give a little startle--but its a good surprise



I have to see it bc picturing it is hard lol...for those that like butterflies its definitely something unique you can do.



the first link on the first post....if you go to it and find the link 'how it works' on the left there is a video

Re: butterfly's that fly out of the napkins!

it would be way too much $$ to get 1 for each person so i think i am gonna incoperate it into my CP game. Im gonna get 2 packs and put them in a envelopes or box to pass around the table. I am gonna have 2 envelopes or boxes at each table.when it gets to the end of the game....both people will open it up and whoevers has a butterfly flying out of it wins!!!!
