In the last few years, plantable seed favors have become a huge and successful business. And why not? They are eco friendly (typically made from post consumer waste) and give back to your guests and the environment in the form of beautiful flowers once planted. In fact, the favor that I planted in a container on my deck at the beginning of the summer will soon be in bloom.
Plantable Wedding Favors: The most popular of these is the plantable heart favor. It is typically offered in my styles as well as colors, and often you have the choice of embellishments such as colorful satin ribbons and bows (therefore making it possible to coordinate with your reception colors). Some come with printed, personalized messages attached (usually by the ribbon), some with the printed message on the card that the favor is attached to, and some come with no personalization but with the option of an envelope so you can actually turn it into a place card too!
Flowers
Other wedding-oriented shapes include wedding cakes and bridal gowns.
Other Occasion Plantable Favors: Other popular shapes include butterflies, dragonflies, graduation cap, cross and Star of David. There are even pink ribbon plantable favors to support breast cancer awareness.
Plantable Herb Favors: Just coming on the market now are plantable seed favors that, instead of been embedded with flower seeds, are embedded with herbs. Basil and Parsley are the most popular choices.
Plantable Favor Boxes: And instead of traditional favor boxes, there are actually boxes made out of heavier plantable paper (card) stock. You can purchase them as plain boxes, pyramid shaped boxes or heart shaped boxes.
Most of these plantable favors come with printed planting instructions.
