Good Morning, Knotties!
My fiance and I will be doing seed packets as one of our favors. My mother-in-law (to be) passed away very suddenly at the end of January, and we wanted to do something for her. She loved to garden, and we thought this would be perfect.
We are customizing blank seed packets, but I am so stuck for what to put on it. Ideally, I would really like quote or saying for it; I just can't seem to find anything (if I am super stuck, we'll just use "let love grow," or something along those lines). We'd love something that acknowledges her, without being so blunt.
Has anyone done something similar or have any ideas?
Re: Seed Packet favors
I'm sorry to say, but I took one to be polite and then threw it away when I got home. I think most people do their own gardening and have their own plans for what types of plants they want.
If you want to honor your FI's mom with something flora related, why don't the two of you plant a tree in your yard? Or grow something at home? It doesn't need to be a giant spectacle at your wedding to be really special.
We didn't do seeds as favors, in fact we technically didn't have favors at all, but we did have herbal centerpieces (that my mom, sister and I planted and grew all summer before our wedding). We had close to 150 planted herbs, and we literally had three left at the end of the wedding. It wasn't technically a favor, but a lot of people took them home. They were traditional herbs that people cook with like basil, cilantro, etc. Maybe you could do something like that?
We are going to scrap the seed idea and go with the cookies, because who doesn't like cookies? Plus, our other favor is limoncello, so you need to wash it down with something!
It's funny you mention planting something for her because a dear friend sent us an oak tree seedling (I suppose that's what it is? I don't have a green thumb, so I hope I don't kill this thing).
You don't need favors.
