About the White Dove Society
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Why was the IWDS founded?
The International White Dove Society was founded to provide an ONLINE JOURNAL
to be a resource for White Dove Professionals with up-to-date information on
relevant topics and educational articles on doves in general. In addition, the
IWDS Online Directory was established to meet the needs of customers
finding the growing number of providers worldwide . As more and more
people are exposed to the beautiful white dove display at weddings, funerals,
memorials, anniversaries, quinceanearas, bar mitzvahs and other celebrations,
the demand soars. After being asked over and over, sometimes several times
a week, to do white dove releases outside the area where we work, the need for a
comprehensive directory became apparent. There are many small lists of
providers and websites online, mainly as link exchanges. Some are limited
to North America. All the lists that I could find were incomplete and therefore
not very useful. And many were difficult to find on search engines.
The IWDS directory is comprehensive and solves many of these problems.
The more people that can find
professional dove releases,
the better for everyone's business!
