Sadly, until now most seed impregnated cards reeked of home-brewed patchouli and hemp. Nice for a cookout or casual party, but not nearly formal, traditional or pretty enough for a wedding.

As much as a bride loves the earth, there is no way she is going to send out grubby, crunchy, granny gown granola wedding invitations.

The super smart folks at Botanical Paperworks figured out the way to score a lot of wedding business: give brides good design choices. It's that simple!



You can design your own invitation, or select from several different templates, complete with ribbons, pressed flowers and wax seals. They can be as simple as a single panel, or as complex as the four panel deluxe invitation.

If you're still unsure about the pretty-to-crunchy ratio, you can order samples -- Botanical Paperworks sends out up to three at no charge. Also, the cards also all come with planting instructions, your recipients will know how to turn your invitation into wildflowers.

For people who decide they the love invitations, there are matching, plantable, reply cards, favors, and thank you notes. And if it becomes your personal theme, you can even order baby announcements, when the time comes. It's a full-service stationery site.
