green wedding favors
Do you want a wedding that is not only fun and memorable, but also inspiring to all of your guests? The simple formula is to integrate the wedding theme with a critical cause. Of course, not everyone is powerful and passionate enough to hold a "bed-in" like John & Yoko, but there are other ways to influence people. One of these is to go for an eco-friendly wedding. It is in fact very simple and practical to do and to follow.
A wedding can be eco-friendly on the whole, but this blog only concentrates on wedding favors. In particular, a few days ago I was thinking of small plants. I believe everybody is a tree-lover by nature, but most of them, especially young people, do not have time, or do not even think of having one on their own. Given that attitude, green wedding favors have a double meaning, encouraging people to grow trees and at the same time symbolizing a growing love.
I did a small googling and was pleased to find numerous options. Here are some of my favorites (click on the image to be directed to the original site).
Problem is, these favors are quite expensive ($2-9) if multiply by 50 - 70 people. There are saving solutions, though. Firstly, deal with local gardening businesses. They grow small, beautiful plants for a cheaper price. Another economic way is DIY with your own creation and idea. Some easy experiments can be found here, and here.
I'm soooo doing this for my tentative wedding!

These can be used as name tags, too.
Bamboo is a significant symbol, and it just looks cozy (resembles a happy couple, doesn't it?)
This is very kid-friendly
