What you'll make
Each favour is a small 6 x 10 cm kraft envelope that you print at home with your names and date, fill with about 1 gram of wildflower seed and close with a round sticker. Bought in bulk, the envelope, seed and sticker come to about 11p per guest, against about 40p each for a personalised ready-made pack. Seed keeps for a year in a cool, dry cupboard, so you can make the lot months ahead.
