It would only be a good idea if you wanted mashed &/or baked butterfly
parts scattered about the wedding scene. First putting them in
envelopes with wings folded would still cause all the powdery wing cover
to rub off. Second, most weddings have people who are not gentle in the
way they handle anything and thus the resident in the envelope could be
squashed. Some would be forgotten in a pocket. It would be hot some of
the time and rainy at others, niether of which would be good for the
butterfly. My frank feeling is that it is a cruel and stupid idea.
