Sustainable save the dates
Seed paper save the dates cards are a great way to let your guests know they need to keep your special day free, in an eco friendly way.
When they have made a note of the important details, they can plant the card and watch the beautiful wildflowers sprout and grow.
What size are save the dates?
Mini – half a postcard size (A7)
Regular – postcard sized, these are perfect for calendar style prints
All come with recycled kraft envelopes.
How many save the dates?
Don’t get caught out, you’ll only need one seed paper save the date per couple or household, not one per guest. If you’re not sure whether someone will make it to the final guest list it’s probably best not to send them one!
Always include a few spares with your order in case you add extra guests – and a keepsake for yourself of course!

Send them up to two years in advance
Sending your seed paper save the dates twelve to eighteen months in advance of the wedding is ideal, but up to two years before the big day is perfectly acceptable. As soon as you have booked the date and secured the venue you’re good to go!
It can be a nice touch to send them out exactly a year (or two!) to the day before your wedding. Also consider saving on postage by popping them in envelopes with your Christmas cards, if the timing suits.
