We Love Green!

With Earth day just around the corner, April 22, 2009 to be exact, we feel it is important to start thinking of creative ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. We found some fresh ideas for anyone to make their wedding day an Earth-friendly event!

1. Minimize excess paper on your invites by using postcards for the RSVP cards. It is not only less paper but less money per stamp, so you are saving in two ways!
2. Select a caterer that uses local, sustainable foods and reduces waste.
3. Instead of using an individual menu card per guest, try setting up a chalkboard at each table to display the menu.
4. To offset your guest's travel emissions, you can plant trees in their honor. These donations double as unique favors as well!
5. Find out in advance if your venue recycles paper goods instead of trashing them and if not ask them if they could!

These are just a few ideas on how we can do our part on our wedding day to help save the Earth!
