Save the Date Plantable Seeded Love Birds Cards (Set of 12)*
Seeds are a metaphor for hope, growth and change, and the Save the Date Plantable Seeded Love Birds Cards put that metaphor straight into your guests' hands. The brilliant design of this card carries two embedded bird seed figures that can be removed, and they are crafted with real, living seeds that just need to be planted and given a little care. They are not a printed picture of a bird. They are a bird that comes up out of the ground.
The seeds are wildflower seeds, designed to grow in the wild, so they are fairly easy to maintain in a yard or a garden. No greenhouse, no green thumb, no long list of conditions. All instructions for planting the seeds come in the packaging, which makes this an extremely easy way to help out mother earth: your guest opens the card, lifts out the birds and presses them into soil.
This is the part of a save the date that normally goes in the recycling. Here it goes in the ground instead. The card helps replenish the vegetation and life that was used in making it, offsetting the bad with good, and that is the whole idea behind an environmentally friendly invitation. Guests who would never keep a paper card will keep the flowers.
The bride's name, the groom's name and your event date are personalized in-house by HansonEllis, so the announcement is yours before it ever reaches a mailbox. The love bird's symbolism does make these more likely in a wedding or anniversary setting, where love itself is being celebrated, but the cards can be used for almost any occasion, and because they are environmentally friendly they also suit an earth day party or an environmental action meeting.
One set contains 12 cards, each 3.875" x 5" high. Order the sets your guest count needs and the date goes out on something that is still growing months after the wedding is over.
Add your names and event date above, choose your quantity, and send a save the date that ends up in a flower bed.

Which one should I choose
The real choice with a save the date is what happens to it after the date is read.
| Save the Date Plantable Seeded Love Birds Cards | Choose these when the announcement should keep doing something after it is opened: two removable love birds crafted with real wildflower seeds, planting instructions included. |
|---|---|
| A standard printed paper save the date | Choose that when the only job is carrying the date and nothing about the event is built around being earth friendly. |
| A plain seed packet favor | Choose that when you want seeds at the reception only, without names, a date, or a card guests can mail and keep. |
For a garden, outdoor or eco conscious wedding, the plantable love bird cards win because the announcement and the favor are the same piece of paper.
