Love is Blooming Garden Eggling Plant*
Each eggling includes a bed of soil with a ready seed pack inside.
Thank your guest and loved ones with an innovative wedding favor that will surprise them as they crack open this adorable eggling. Composed of white porous ceramic, this realistic eggling looks and feels like a real egg, which is exactly why nobody at the table works out what it is until somebody breaks the top. Once cracked open, it reveals a bed of soil with a ready seed pack inside ready for cultivation.
The Love is Blooming Garden Eggling Plant earns its place twice. Not only can you use it as a thank you favor but also as a place card holder. Simply use a permanent marker and write in the guest name or table number on the egg and set at each place setting, and your seating plan and your favor become the same small white object. Let your guest know that "Love is Blooming".
Comes in Phlox flower seed packet or Italian Parsley, so the favor can go two ways: a flower that comes up in a window box, or a herb that ends up on a kitchen sill and then in somebody's cooking. Growing directions and terra cotta tray are included, which matters more than it sounds, because a guest who has never grown anything is not left guessing what to do with a broken egg full of soil. They crack it, read the directions, stand it on the tray, water it and wait.
Most wedding favors are finished by the end of the night. This one starts there. Weeks later, when the phlox is up or the parsley is tall enough to cut, the couple who handed it over are quietly still in the room. For something small enough to sit beside a fork, that is a rare thing, and it is why the Love is Blooming Garden Eggling Plant suits a garden ceremony, a spring table, a bridal shower or a baby shower as naturally as it suits a reception.

- As a thank you favor handed out at the door as guests leave.

- As a growing project for a garden-themed table, phlox on one side of the room and Italian parsley on the other.
Which one should I choose
Couples looking for a growing favor usually weigh the eggling against a flat seed packet, a potted plant favor, or a printed place card plus a separate gift.
| Love is Blooming Garden Eggling Plant | Choose it when you want the surprise of cracking it open and one item that works as both place card holder and favor. |
|---|---|
| A printed seed packet favor | Choose it when you want your names printed on the favor itself and you do not mind that it is flat paper on the plate. |
| A potted plant favor | Choose it when guests are local and carrying a pot home is realistic; the eggling is small enough to go in a handbag. |
| A printed place card plus a separate gift | Choose it when the seating chart has to be formally printed; the eggling replaces both with a name in permanent marker. |
For a garden or spring celebration where you want guests to talk about the favor at the table and still be watching it grow a month later, the Love is Blooming Garden Eggling Plant does the job of two items at once.
