About this Invitation
This foundation layer of this invitation is made from Lotka paper which is 100% compostable. The printed top layer and envelope are embedded with wildflower seeds and will bloom when planted. Lotka paper is made from the bark of the Daphne bush which regenerates naturally providing a renewable resource. This paper is acid free and will benefit the economic enterprise of rural craftspeople in Nepal. Planting this paper will produce flowers if properly cared for. The ribbon is also 100% compostable so the entire invitation can be planted. Each invitation includes a note for your guests instructing them on how to plant the invitation and a bit about the paper. The Lotka foundation layer paper is vegetable dyed.
How we make these invitations
First we design the invitation, print onto the seeded natural colour paper and trim to size. Next we tear the Lotka paper (foundation layer) by hand. We then mount the printed invitation on top of the Lotka foundation layer and hole punch. Then the fun starts! The eco ribbon is also vegetable dyed and made from recycled paper and is tightly twisted. Once we pull the ribbon through the holes we untwist the ends to make the leaves. The finished product is fabulous and worth the effort. Your guests will love planting the invitation in memory of your big day!
Planting Guide
This invitation and envelope can be put directly into the dirt in a pot or in your garden. The soil should be firmed down after sowing and the seeds should not be more then 1/8” deep. They must be kept moist for 4-6 weeks and receive 4 hours of sunlight each day in order to germinate properly. Many wildflowers are drought tolerant once established, but must receive adequate water as they sprout. For best results plant in the Spring or early Summer. Water and sun are the keys to success.
