Name tags, Christmas cards, invitations... if you are like me you view and recycle these cards quickly and they end up seeming like a waste. But late last fall my husband-to-be came home from a conference with his name tag in tow. Not your usual plastic-encased little number, this name tag was made of biodegradable paper embedded with seeds. Genius! At the very worst it will decompose, perhaps turning our garbage dumps into a plot full of wildflowers, and at best it will contribute to one's own garden, creating a visible spattering of colourful memories.
It has taken me several months to find a retailer who provides this kind of paper (none of the suppliers at the Toronto Bridal Show had even heard of such a thing!) but I have finally made a breakthrough! Botanical Paperworks from Winnipeg, Manitoba has a wide selection of very pretty and reasonably priced stationary to choose from - from bulk paper to wedding favours and invitations.
If you are Toronto situated - like me! - they have a retailer on Queen St. East, Cry If I Want To.

That's a fabulous idea, Carrie. I wish I'd found your wedding blog a few weeks ago, before I bought and sent invitations for my sister's baby shower.
