#weddingfavors with meaning!

In celebration of Earth Day, i continue to look for ideas that are eco friendly and are unique.  This one is so unique that I might just have to buy some seeds and get moving on it! Favors that give back are so much more relevant than many of the trinkets that your guests will never use.


Download the template for the cover and now the inside section. 
Print the front of the matchbook covers onto 8 1/2-by-11-inch card stock. Turn the paper over, and print the page of instructions on the back (test the alignment by printing one copy first, before printing the rest).
There are three creases you'll need to make, and there are three sets of dotted crop marks to make it easier to do so. Use a bone folder and a metal straightedge to draw creases between the dotted crop marks.
Use a craft knife and the straightedge to cut out the matchbook covers, cutting along the edges of the colors.
Fold matchbook along creases.
Scoop seeds into 2-by-3 1/4-inch glassine envelopes, and fold top edge over twice by 1/4 inch. (I LOVE how you can look for "special meanings" to make the seeds all about YOU!
Tuck seed-filled glassine envelope into the bottom flap, with the folded edge down, and staple once in the middle of the flap.
Wedding seed mix, $45 for 1 pound, Flower Art & Soul
Glassine envelopes (G7), $2.75 for 50, Clearbags
