Happy Earth Day to all of our tree hugging hippy followers!!! And even those of you that follow us that don't grope too tightly on trees, we know how earth conscious you are too:) In light of this spectacular day of celebrating Mother Earth we thought it's only fitting to design a new eco-friendly wedding invitation - we really can't call it a "set" or "suite" being as it's eco-friendly and all, we focused on using a minimal amount of materials.
Nowadays everyone is using a wedding website to supply their guests with all kinds of additional information that is not included on their invitation. We have come into counter with many couples also asking if they can include reply information on their wedding website. While there will always be some of the elder, not so computer literate, who regardless if you want to, or not - you'll have to call and find out if they are attending your special day kind of folks...most of your guest list can and will reply on your site. With all of that being said let's get to the nitty gritty of why we think this invitation is perfectly green. This earth loving invitation is printed on 100% recycled kraft card stock paper using 100% post consumer waste. While contemplating the design details, what we wanted to do here was use the least amount of paper (and envelopes) as we possibly could so our end result became an "all-in-one" wedding invitation.
Without taking a gander at the pictures this might sound a little quirky and perhaps weird, but take a look my friends and you will see a very traditional one of a kind wedding invitation. Without further ado we present our Earth Day influenced wedding invitation we call:
Aspen Escape...
Our inspiration derived from an Aspen tree which not-so-coincidentally tied in our tree-saving task at hand. All of the wedding information is listed on this side of the invitation.
Now here is where it gets a little wild and crazy - FLIP IT OVER - and voila POSTCARD peeps!!!
We have created a post card wedding invitation!
Aligned to the right is the guest mailing address. On the left side we wrote a brief explanation of why we chose this recycled paper and environment friendly design for a wedding invitation. Also, the wedding website is included with all of the necessary information (accommodation, directions and yes or no reply information). No need for an inner envelope, or outer envelope...and by replying online, no need for a reply card with envelope!
And keep in mind, a little explaining, and possibly encouraging, will go a long way.
We are so happy to be able to give a little to Mother Nature, by using less when we can, repurposing all things possible and buying reusable products whenever available. Hope you enjoyed our Earth Day blog and our new Eco-friendly all in one wedding invitation postcard!!!
