Favors
Garden favors guests actually keep
Most party favors end up in a drawer. Ours end up on a windowsill, or in the garden. Every favor we make is built around flowers, in your palette, with your event's name on it, so guests remember the day each time they see it. Here's what we offer and what it costs.
You can add any of these to a bloom bar package, or order them on their own for a shower, a birthday, an engagement party or a work event. We make them in the same palette as the rest of your flowers, so the favors, the bar and the arch all look like they belong together. Tell us your guest count and we'll suggest how many to order.
Watering can favors
Mini galvanized watering cans, each filled with a little posy in your palette and a tag for your event's name and date. Choose fresh blooms for the day, or a keepsake posy of dried flowers that lasts for months. They look lovely lined up on a table near the door, and guests can reuse the can for herbs or a small plant.
$22 each, minimum 12. $18 each with any package.
Custom seed packets
Seed packets printed with your event, or the guest of honor's name, and a watercolor flower in your palette. We fill them with California wildflower seeds, like poppies and lupine, so every guest plants a little piece of the day. Tuck one into each watering can favor for $3 more.
$5 each with your event printed, minimum 24.
Name-card seed packets
The same packets can double as name cards. We print one guest's name on each, so it marks their seat at the table and then goes home as the favor. Send us your guest list and we print the rest.
$7 each as name cards.
The Seed Library seating chart
Your seating chart, in our drawers. Guests open a drawer of our painted chest to find their seed packet, their table and a little note. They take it to their seat, then plant it at home. It turns the usual seating board into one of the moments people talk about afterwards. Guests find their seat without crowding around a board, and nobody leaves without their favor, because it was in their hand the whole time.
$175, plus name-card seed packets.
Watering cans $22 each ($18 with a package), seed packets from $5, The Seed Library $175.

Can I order favors without the bloom bar?
Yes. Watering can favors are $22 each with a minimum of 12, and seed packets are $5 each with a minimum of 24. With any package, watering cans drop to $18.
When will the seeds bloom?
California wildflowers like poppies and lupine are usually sown in fall or early spring. We print simple planting notes on every packet.
How long do the dried posies last?
A keepsake posy of dried flowers lasts for months, as long as it's kept out of direct sun.
What do you need for name cards?
Just your guest list, spelled the way you'd like it printed. Send it with your table numbers if you're adding The Seed Library.
