With my pending nuptials less than two months away (how did that happen?!) I’ve been thinking a lot about how to decrease waste at our wedding.
Between the save-the-dates, invitations, programs, place cards etc. there’s a lot of paper involved for just one day!
Some in the green community suggest going completely electronic and sending e-vites in leui of wedding invitations. Why didn’t I go this route?
Welcome to Part I in a series we’re featuring on greening the “Big Day” (as they call it.)
As a recently engaged woman this subject is becoming high on my radar. My experience thus far isn’t unique. I want the day to be exceptional, fun, beautiful and authentic to my fiance and I. But… I’d like to do what I can to keep the waste that can come along with a wedding at a minimum!
One of the steps that comes fairly early in the process is the traditional save the dates. You book your venue, hem and haw over your guest list, point out that you have no clue who 10% of the people on your significant other’s lists are and voila it’s time to get crackin.
So, how can you make this part of the process greener?
