What you'll make
Each favour is a small kraft coin envelope that you print at home with your names and date, fill with about 1 gram of wildflower seeds and close with a round sticker. Bought in bulk, the envelope, seeds and sticker cost about 21 cents per guest, while a personalized 10-pack on Amazon.ca works out to about $2.70 a packet. Seeds keep for a year in a cool, dry place, so you can make all of them months ahead.
