Earth Day Inspiration for your Wedding Place Cards

Happy Earth Day from the team at LookLoveSend.  If you’d like to incorporate an eco-friendly element to your upcoming wedding, consider a plantable favor that can double as a reception place card or wedding favor.  Giving herbs, either as small potted plants or seed, is a great way to send guests home with something they will appreciate and reuse many times over.

DIY Potted Herbs as Table Decor

Incorporating potted herbs into your reception décor is a natural fit for a country wedding setting, but adding textured greenery can also provide a stunning natural element to a modern and sleek reception style.  Visit a farmer’s market to buy high quality potted herbs then divide and replant them into small containers.  For the country wedding, choose burlap pots tied with a strand of lace or ribbon to match the reception colors.  For the modern wedding, buy sleek pots in bulk such as these cool chalkboard pots from etsy.com.  Cluster the potted herbs on guest tables or create a display with a sign inviting guests to ‘please pick one’ as a parting favor.

DIY Herb Seeds as Place Cards

If you choose to use tented place cards to guide your guests to their reception tables, consider packaging seeds in small decorative bags then punch two small holes in the corner of each place card and use twine to attach a package of seeds to each place card.  Your guests are sure to appreciate popular culinary herbs such as basil, rosemary, parsley, dill, oregano and chives.
