After a long, hard winter in the Northeast, I am bursting
with joy at the sight of flowers pushing their way through the soil and adding
much needed color to my yard! It’s another sign that “We Made It” through
another few months of below zero temps and frigid north winds!
To celebrate this season, I have purchased seed cards and
incorporated them into my party planning. Have you ever used them? They are a wonderful
way to add pizazz to an invitation or a card …
When my daughter and son were making their First Holy Communion,
I used a seed cross on the front of my son’s invitation. It was a periwinkle
blue to match the color scheme of the party. Although people did not keep the
invite, they did plant the cross, the plants grew and the flowers reminded them
of his special day.
Two years later, I used heart confetti flower paper in teal
blue (again, coordinating with the theme). It was a playful addition to an
otherwise standard invite. And again, the guests planted the seeds and had
beautiful flowers to remind them of yet another meaningful day.
I have also used seed cards when mailing sympathy cards. I
know for myself, it’s nice to plant something in memory of a loved one. A
gentle reminder of the joy that person brought.
Check out these fun ways to use seed cards for your personal
or business use!
