Customising Your Wedding: Unique Ways to Use Seed Paper
Customising Your Wedding: Unique Ways to Use Seed Paper
Your wedding is one of the most special days of your life, and you want every detail to be unique and memorable. If you’re looking for an eco-friendly option that’s both thoughtful and beautiful, seed paper is the perfect choice. Seed paper, which is embedded with wildflower or herb seeds, can be used in a variety of ways to add a personal and sustainable touch to your wedding. Not only is it kind to the environment, but it also offers endless possibilities for customisation. Here are some creative ways to use seed paper to make your wedding day truly unique.
1. Invitations That Grow
Start your wedding journey with invitations that do more than just deliver information—they can grow into something beautiful! Seed paper invitations are a charming and eco-friendly alternative to traditional paper invites. Your guests can plant the invitations after the event, watching them bloom into wildflowers or herbs, creating a lasting memory of your special day. At Little Green Wedding, we offer customisable seed paper invitations that can be tailored to match your wedding theme, colour palette, and style. The beauty of seed paper is that it's biodegradable, so it’s a sustainable choice without compromising on design.
2. Personalised Place Cards
Seed paper place cards are a beautiful and practical way to guide your guests to their seats. These cards can be customised with your guests' names and table assignments, then turned into plants after the wedding. You can choose different types of seeds, depending on the season or your personal preferences—wildflowers, herbs, or even vegetables. As an added touch, you can tie the place cards to small pots or add mini plant markers, turning your place settings into living mementos. Guests will appreciate the gesture, and the plants will remind them of your celebration for months to come.
3. Seed Paper Wedding Favours
Wedding favours are a lovely way to thank your guests for their presence, but they don’t have to be wasteful. Seed paper favours are a sustainable alternative to traditional trinkets that often end up in the trash. You can give your guests seed paper bookmarks, heart-shaped seed paper cards, or mini seed packets. These can be packaged beautifully with twine or ribbon that matches your colour scheme. Not only will your guests have a thoughtful gift to take home, but they’ll also enjoy the satisfaction of planting something that grows and blooms, just like the memories of your wedding.
4. Customised Wedding Programmes
Wedding programmes are an essential part of your ceremony, providing guests with the order of events. Instead of using standard paper programmes, why not use seed paper to make them more personal and eco-friendly? Seed paper programmes can be designed with a unique layout, listing the details of your ceremony while also incorporating lovely floral motifs or other elements from your wedding theme. Once the ceremony is over, guests can plant the programme and watch it sprout into something beautiful. It's a wonderful way to combine functionality with sustainability.
5. Eco-Friendly Thank You Notes
After the wedding, you’ll want to thank your guests for sharing your special day. Seed paper thank-you notes are a meaningful and unique way to express your gratitude. You can design thank-you cards with a personal message, and each one can contain seeds for guests to plant and enjoy. This small gesture adds an extra layer of thoughtfulness and leaves a lasting impression. You could also personalise the thank-you notes with a small, pressed flower from your wedding day, making the cards even more special.
6. Seed Paper Confetti
While traditional confetti is often made from paper or plastic, seed paper confetti is an eco-friendly option that’s just as fun. It’s biodegradable and can be tossed in the air to celebrate your marriage without leaving behind any waste. Seed paper confetti comes in various shapes, like hearts, stars, or circles, and is available in a range of colours. You can even select confetti with different types of seeds, ensuring that they’ll bloom into beautiful plants. As your guests toss the confetti, they’ll be helping to create a living memory of your wedding day.
7. Wedding Signage
From welcome signs to seating charts, wedding signage helps guide guests and adds a decorative touch to your venue. Instead of using traditional signs made from wood or acrylic, opt for seed paper signage that’s both stylish and sustainable. You can create custom signs for everything from the ceremony to the reception, each designed with your wedding theme in mind. Whether you choose to frame them or hang them with twine, seed paper signs can be a beautiful and eco-friendly way to communicate important information to your guests.
8. Plantable Wedding Invitations for Save the Dates
If you’re looking for a way to stand out and make a lasting impression, seed paper is a perfect choice for your Save the Date cards. Instead of using typical paper or postcards, send your guests Save the Dates that they can plant and grow. With a thoughtful design and personalised message, your guests will not only remember your wedding date but will also be reminded of your event each time they see the plants bloom. Plus, it’s a beautiful way to start your eco-conscious wedding planning.
9. Customised Wedding Seating Plan
Instead of using traditional paper seating charts that may get lost or discarded, create a memorable, plantable seating plan. Seed paper can be used to craft a stunning seating chart, where each guest's name is written on a piece of seed paper attached to a plantable card. Guests can find their seats and take their card home to grow flowers or herbs. This thoughtful gesture combines functionality with a unique twist, all while reducing waste.
10. DIY Seed Paper Wedding Invitations and Favours
If you're looking for a creative and hands-on way to personalise your wedding stationery, consider making your own seed paper. It’s a fun DIY project that allows you to get crafty and create something truly unique for your wedding. You can design your invitations, place cards, or favours with your favourite seeds and colours, adding an extra personal touch to every piece of stationery.
