"Gentle on My Mind"



I spent months looking for what I wanted to have for the guest gifts. I really was set on the fact that I would have koozies for the guests that said "to have and to hold and to keep your beer cold" However after months of searching I couldn't find a company that would make what I wanted for under $200. So I decided to go a cheaper route and still give our guests a cute gift to take home.
I ordered 200 small coin bags off of Etsy for $14 with shipping and found a stamp at Hobby Lobby that said "wishing you a love that continues to bloom". I thought it was perfect for what I wanting! I had some trouble getting the stamp ink to stay on the enveloped and not smearing off since they were made of a material similar to parchment paper. But don't fret, I found a solution! Hobby Lobby sells clear embossing ink and you can get an heat gun with a 40% coupon for $15. With the embossing ink and some heat it keeps the stamp ink from smearing off the envelopes. We filled up the envelopes with wild flower seeds bought at the dollar store (an entire box for $1) and all done! Perfect and simple!
