3 Ideas for an Eco-Friendly/Sustainable Wedding

Lets go green!!
In 2020, it is anticipated that many couples will be identifying sustainable wedding options. There are many simple ways that couples can support the environment in the choices they make for their big day.
Wedding Stationery
Think about it...from save-the-dates, to invitations, to menus. That’s a lot of paper being used for one event. However, there are many options (besides the traditional cardstock) when it comes to your stationery. While using a recycled paper option seems like the most eco-positive choice, store-bought type, recycled paper often undergoes several processes and treatments that may harm the environment.
Here are a few options to consider:
- Send invites through email - there are several websites that provide beautiful templates; such as, Evite, Greenvelope, Punchbowl, and Paperless Post.
- Create a website -- The Knot and With Joy host all your wedding info for easy reference. Your guests even have the capability to ask you questions and RSVP directly on your website.
- Post-Consumer Paper wedding invitations - if you’d like to stick to the traditional paper invite, post-consumer paper is a great eco-friendly option.
- Plantable invites are embedded with flower or vegetable seeds, allowing your guests to plant them. This is an amazing way to help the environment and leave a lasting impact with YOUR wedding invitation. Imagine your guests being able to give flowers from your invitation or having a get-together with friends of vegetables harvested from your invitations.
Encourage your guests to carpool
This will help cut down the carbon emissions of your wedding by suggesting guests carpool together. Plus, this will allow your guests to enjoy their time together even more because of your big day.
Eco-friendly wedding gifts
Especially for couples that aren’t in need of gifts, encouraging donations in your name for foundations that help the environment; such as planting trees, is a great option to support your eco-friendly wedding!
