Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I send plantable seed paper save the dates?
For UK weddings in 2026 and 2027 we recommend sending your plantable seed paper save the dates 10-12 months before your wedding date - particularly for summer, bank holiday or destination weddings where guests need to book accommodation and travel in advance. If you've already sent save the dates digitally your main wedding invitations can follow 4-6 months before the big day.

Will my guests know what to do with a plantable save the date?
Yes - planting instructions are printed on the back of every save the dates so your guests know exactly how to grow their card into wildflowers.

How long can plantable seed paper bookmarks be kept before planting?
Our plantable seed paper bookmarks can be kept for up to 18 months to 2 years before planting while still maintaining good germination results. To preserve the seeds for as long as possible we recommend storing them somewhere cool, dry and away from direct sunlight. Plenty of time for your guests to enjoy their bookmark before planting it to grow wildflowers.

Can plantable seed paper bookmarks be used as wedding favours or thank you gifts?
Absolutely - our plantable seed paper bookmarks make beautiful, practical wedding favours and thank you gifts that guests will actually use and remember. Unlike traditional favours that get left on the table or forgotten, a bookmark is something guests take home, use every day and then plant to grow wildflowers when they're done. We can personalise each bookmark with your names, wedding date or a short message to turn them into a truly memorable keepsake. Perfect as a standalone favour or paired with a thank you card for an extra thoughtful touch.

Our Seed Paper & How To Grow It

Our exclusive wildflower seed paper is handmade in the UK from cotton textile offcuts that would otherwise be thrown away - repurposed into pulp and embedded with over 20 types of fresh native wildflower seeds. Made in small batches specifically for A La KArt Creations - never mass produced, never old stock. Regularly tested to ensure reliable germination, with sprouts typically appearing within days. We've been growing beautifully for over 5 years and we're not stopping.
