Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about seed paper wedding invitations.
Q:What is seed paper and how does it work?
Seed paper is handmade paper embedded with seeds that can be planted after use. When you place the paper in soil, water it regularly, and provide sunlight, the paper biodegrades while the seeds germinate and grow into flowers, herbs, or vegetables. It's made from recycled materials and is 100% biodegradable, creating zero waste.
Q:Which seeds work best for wedding invitation paper?
Popular choices include wildflower mixes (easy to grow, beautiful blooms), marigolds (auspicious in Indian culture), basil and tulsi (aromatic herbs), lavender (romantic symbolism), and sunflowers (representing happiness). For Gujarati weddings, marigold and tulsi are particularly meaningful and grow well in Indian climates.
Q:How long do seed paper invitations last before planting?
Seed paper invitations remain viable for 1-2 years if stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The seeds maintain their germination ability throughout this period. We recommend guests plant within 6 months for best results, and we include planting instructions with each invitation.
Q:Are seed paper wedding cards more expensive?
Seed paper cards typically cost 20-40% more than standard paper due to the handmade nature and seed embedding process. However, many couples find the environmental benefits and unique guest experience worth the investment. We offer various options to fit different budgets while maintaining eco-friendly principles.
Q:Can seed paper cards have the same elegant designs as traditional cards?
Absolutely! Modern seed paper accepts printing beautifully, including digital printing, letterpress, and even gold foil accents. While some techniques like heavy embossing may affect seed viability, our designers create stunning designs that work perfectly with plantable paper while maintaining elegance and tradition.
