Eco friendly stationery products, also known as plantable stationary, are becoming increasingly popular. And my favorite product of all is an eco friendly thank you card. This is because when you send a plantable thank you to someone, whether it was the guests at your wedding, your bar or bat mitzvah, your birthday celebration or just to a friend for a niceness they did for you - you are giving back to them a gift of ready to plant, beautiful flower seeds.
And planting couldn't be easier. Either plant the card whole, or just part of it (you can also tear it into pieces) and plant 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 thank you cards are made out of 100% recycled paper waste and are embedded with seeds. They often come in a variety of styles and colors. Some you purchase 'as is' (meaning that it is like picking a box of thank you cards at a store) while others let you custom create your own thank you cards.
Custom plantable thank you cards: When researching this option look for choices that allow you 
to provide at least one or two lines of text (examples: "Thank you from Mr. & Mrs. Timothy L. Harris", "Elizabeth and Jonathon thank you for sharing in their special day", etc.). You may even choose to include a favorite photo (a wedding picture, for example) on the front of the card. When going with a custom card make sure you receive a proof for your approval before it goes off to print.
