Place card doubles as wedding favor

We are getting married in October 2010. The ceremony and reception will be outdoors at a ranch in the mountains of Southern California. Since nature is the back drop, and I want to give my guests something that will long out-last our actual wedding day-- I am giving them personalized wildflower seed packets. The packets will have the details of our wedding on one side and the name of the guest on the other. Lined up on the table, guests can choose their place card and favor at the same time. Additional seed packets will decorate the tables, along with a nature-inspired centerpiece and flowers. I plan on printing the labels for the seed packets myself. The idea of the name cards being used instead of just tossed really appeals to me. Plus, I save money because I am not having place cards specially printed.

Hi Lauren
That sounds great and so easy to do yourself, all you need to buy is the seed in bulk, some labels and little envelopes. There are some cute phrases to use on your seed packets here!

Good luck with the rest of your wedding plans, it sounds lovely.
