Eco friendly stationery products, also known as plantable stationery, are becoming increasingly popular. And as of recently, eco friendly birth announcements have been added to the product assortment. These 'green' announcements do more than just announcement the birth of your child - they are actually a small gift themselves because, once planted, the recipient will be able to enjoy beautiful flowers thanks to you. They can be planted in a garden or in a container so they are even perfect for those living in apartments without access to a garden.
And planting couldn't be easier and takes only a minute. Either plant the card whole or tear it up into smaller pieces and put it under a bit of soil. Water daily and within a couple of weeks you'll see the first seedlings begin to sprout.
Eco friendly birth announcements should be made out of 100% recycled paper waste and embedded with seeds (Be sure to ask what kind of seeds are embedded in the paper).They often come in a variety of styles and colors - even plantable photo announcements are an option. Some you purchase 'as is' (meaning that it is like selecting a package of birth announcements at a store) while others let you custom create your own.
Custom plantable birth announcements: When researching this option look for choices that allow you allow you to choose from several styles. If you don't like the suggested wording ask if you can provide your own. When going with a custom card - make sure that you receive a proof of the card, for your approval, before it goes off to print.
