 Wedding guest favors can average around $400 for average-size weddings. This is a large sum, especially considering that most traditional wedding favors consist of items such as bubbles, chocolates and candies. EnviroCitizen.org is pleased to report that there are other more unique, eco-friendly options! Many people who have green weddings either select local favors (local chocolates, wines, cheeses, etc), or they take the money set aside for wedding favors and donate it to an environmental charity. However, there is another popular wedding favor alternative that is eco-friendly, fun and beautiful! Many people are now giving away seed wedding favors, typically in the form of biodegradable, personalized packets of seed.
When trying to decide on which seed packets to gift as favors, make sure they are organic, packaged in eco-friendly materials and native to the area so that they will flourish once planted.
Seed wedding favors are a perfect complement to any green wedding as they support a healthy environment and do not have a negative impact on the Earth. Many companies recognize this growing interest and are beginning to feature a wide variety of specialized seed wedding favors.
Seed Wedding Favor Packets- These wedding favors come in a special biodegradable paper packet, which can be placed directly into the ground as it is. The paper will decompose into the earth and provide nutrients to the wildflowers that will grow from the seeds. Seed Wedding Favor Packets come in a variety of shapes and forms. You will be able to choose a color scheme to match your wedding colors and can have your names and wedding date on the packet as well to further personalize it. Seed wedding favor packets do not only come as flowers, you may also choose from a variety of herbs!
Shaped Seed Wedding Favors- Shaped seed wedding favors come embedded within a variety of natural, biodegradable paper products. Some of the most popular shaped seed wedding favors come in the form of small, ornate boxes, beautiful confetti or even as the invitation! These products can be placed directly into the ground whole and will eventually sprout flowers. You may also opt to have herbs instead.
Though ornate seed wedding favor packets and shaped seed wedding favors are fun and festive, you may want to simply choose traditional seed packets from your local, eco-friendly garden center. Though the envelope they come in may not be as decorative, they are still a wonderful, eco-friendly favor choice! EnviroCitizen.org has many seed wedding favors to choose from. Check them out today!
