A Perennial Favorite from the Bride and Groom - Wedding Seed Packets

Wedding seed packets, used as favors at weddings and bridal showers, are growing in popularity because they're so unique and resourceful. They symbolically represent everything desirable in a wedding and marriage. In addition to acting as novel placement cards for guest seating, they can reflect personal messages from the bridal couple and be a lasting memento of a joyful occasion.

Usually available as standard items from your favorite seed company, these packets vary in size, design and content. Some deluxe packets open up like greeting cards. Others are like simple off-the-rack seed packs. Either way, choose the type of flower seed you would like to give your guests. One pound of seed is enough for 150-200 seed packets, based on about a teaspoon per packet. Make sure to pick flowers that carry meaning for you-- or that are within the theme colors of your wedding decor.

Every Year When These Flowers Bloom, Think about the Bride and Groom

On the front of the packet, you can get as detailed with as much personal information as the seed companies packet space allows. In addition to the usual names of the bridal couple, wedding date and perhaps a short verse— you can also have it personalized with your own photos in full color. On the back, you might want the symbolic meaning of the flower seed you have chosen. And you could even use the same flowers in full bloom in the wedding reception area.

All totaled, these seed packet wedding favors could cost you between $0.65 - $1.50 each depending on how fancy you want them. With the cost of what wedding accessories are today— this is a pretty inexpensive item, considering the extremely meaningful sentiments that last long after the wedding is over.
