Eco-friendly wedding invitations: simple but elegant

Planning an eco-friendly wedding begins even before you book the date. One of the most important aspects of any green wedding is conservation, and what better way to conserve than by using eco-friendly wedding invitations. The fact is that conventionality invites wasted trees, toxic ink, and the manufacturing process is often riddled with waste. If you don’t want that on your conscience, you have plenty of eco-friendly options to choose from.

paperless invitations

Many environmentally conscious people choose not to send out wedding invitations. This is the greenest wedding invitation you can choose. If you decide to forgo sending wedding invitations, you have two options, you can call your guests or you can send invitations. A dodge is an invitation from the Internet. The products to avoid are not only environmentally friendly, but they are also inexpensive because most of the time they are free.

paper invitations

If you choose to send paper wedding invitations, you can still make eco-friendly wedding invitations. The best paper option to use when you want your invitations to be eco-friendly is recycled paper. Recycled papers come in different styles and colors. Plus, not only do they look good, but every ton of recycled paper demanded saves 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, and prevents 60 pounds of pollutants from entering the atmosphere. Not to mention, it’s an easy option because most printers offer it as an alternative option.

If you don’t like any of the recycled paper options available to you, you can make your wedding invitations eco-friendly with an alternative fiber. There are several alternative options you can choose from, including hemp, bamboo, and cotton. These options are slightly more expensive than recycled paper options, but they look more refined and elegant than even a standard paper invitation.

Minimize notices

If you choose to send out wedding invitations, there are a few more things you can do to make them eco-friendly. Eco-friendly wedding invitations should not have multiple inserts. You should try to combine all the information that needs to be added to the invitation on one piece of paper, or create a wedding website with the added details. In addition to this, have your guest reply on the phone instead of wasting paper on reply cards and envelopes.
