Don't hit me for bringing this up again

But I need some input for my favors. I was thinking of ditching the frame placecard idea. I want to give wildflower or daisy seeds BUT i wanted to also either handpaint votive holders, small vases, or terra cotta pots. Which do you think is the best to do? (michaels has all that on sale, so i want to buy this week) which would you favor (hehe no pun intended) and think was neat if you were a guest?

I think the seeds with the terra cotta pots would be nice. You could add moss and display the seeds as your placecards. Martha has something like this on her website...a mound of moss in a little terra cotta pot with a stick in the middle and the name on a piece of card stock, attached. It was adorable!

I would go with the pots- they go nicely with the seed idea. I am giving out terra cotta pots for my e-party favors (coincidentally, the terra cotta pots gave me the idea of a sunflower themed party). Here are some pics of the pots I am painting for my favors:

Re: Favor advice

I like the pots... and was thinking of them myself.. you could give them with seeds, or with a candle(like the above posted pic).. or you could put candy in there like hershey kisses... soo many options for them
