Faqs

How long does it take for Growing Memories to process a personalized order?

Due to the personalized nature of our items, please allow a minimum of three days for Growing Memories to process your order.

Each memorial card and seed gift is carefully crafted and customized just for you. This minimum three-day processing window ensures your heartfelt keepsakes are printed, assembled, and prepared to the highest standard before shipping.

How does Growing Memories ship its seed gifts and memorial cards?

Growing Memories ships all flower seed gifts and memorial cards via registered mail to ensure safe and trackable delivery.

Because these keepsakes commemorate important life events, we want to guarantee they arrive securely. Once your order completes its mandatory three-day processing period, it will be dispatched via registered mail so you can track its journey directly to your door.

Can I order a sample memorial card or wedding favor before placing a bulk order?

Yes, you can easily order a sample by purchasing just one unit of the specific seed gift or memorial card you are interested in.

We will process and ship your single item so you can see the premium quality of our designs, paper, and seed mixes firsthand. Once you are happy with your sample, you can confidently return to our website to place your larger order for your special event.

What happens if there is a spelling error in the personalized text I submit for my order?

Growing Memories prints the exact text you upload, so we are unable to catch or correct spelling and formatting errors provided by the customer.

When submitting names, dates, and messages for bulk orders like wedding favors or memorial cards, please review your text carefully. Because these items are custom-made, we rely entirely on the accuracy of the information you provide during checkout.

Does Growing Memories offer refunds on personalized seed gifts or memorial cards?

We cannot issue refunds for personalized items unless the printing or manufacturing error was made by our production team.

Because each order is uniquely printed with your specific names and messages, these items cannot be resold. If your order contains a mistake due to a customer typo or formatting error, it is non-refundable. However, if the fault is ours, we will gladly correct and replace the items.

Can Growing Memories create a custom seed-based gift that is not listed on the website?

Yes, if you have a specific seed-related gift idea in mind, contact us and our team will work with you to bring it to life.

Drawing on 60 years of expertise from our parent company, McGuinness Seeds, we love helping customers create unique, meaningful tributes. Whether it is a bespoke flower mix for a corporate event or a unique memorial keepsake, reach out to explore the possibilities.

What is the relationship between Growing Memories and McGuinness Seeds?

Growing Memories is a new venture founded by Tom McGuinness of McGuinness Seeds, a trusted family-owned Irish business with over 60 years of agricultural experience.

We channel our family's deep Irish roots and lifelong passion for seeds into creating meaningful, bespoke flower seed gifts. Our goal is to combine our decades of professional seed expertise with heartfelt design, helping you honor your most cherished moments.

How do I plant the forget-me-not or organic wildflower seeds included in my gift?

Your Growing Memories gift includes premium, organic seeds that should be scattered in well-drained soil and kept gently moist until germination.

Whether you choose organic wildflowers for a wedding favor or forget-me-nots for a memorial card, each package contains high-quality seeds backed by decades of McGuinness family expertise. For the most vibrant blooms, plant your seeds in a sunny spot during the spring or early summer months.
