We've all heard about "going green". Everyone starts to use recyclable shopping bags, people are taking the bus or ride a bike to work to save on gas, there are now environmentally friendly cleaning products, and more. And now people are starting to green weddings.
...
Invitations
, you can skip the paper together and go electronic. There are several sites out there where you can do it. You can also create a PDF and send that electronically or even make a video to send to your guests. With these last two just to be aware that some customers may not have the appropriate software to open invitations.
Concerned customers will take your electronic invitation seriously? Do not worry, you still have options! Almost all the designers call a kind of recycled paper. And if you do invite you, your local stationery store is sure that the recycled paper too. You can even find a tree paper. And check this out ... seeds embedded paper. It can be planted!
bridal registry
Register for your gifts on the Internet. And be sure to register for eco-friendly products. Better yet, do not register for gifts. Ask guests to donate to charity on your behalf. For example, you can ask them to donate to make a wish.
favors
One of the ways to stay eco-friendly is to buy services at the local level, not some cheap "jewelry" shipped halfway around the world. You can also use small trees or seeds that guests can then plant. Bonus - it will help in the fight against global warming! Or why not make a donation to your favorite charity in the name of the customer? Not only is this eco-friendly, but it will help someone in need.
Flowers
There are many opportunities to stay green with their flowers. First, you can use silk or dried flowers. If you do not like this idea to look for a florist that uses locally grown flowers. You can also go to your local market to buy local flowers, and then make your own bouquets. Again the ceremony flowers at the reception. And then after receiving the donated flowers for the local hospital. It will be sure to cheer up the patients!
Wedding rings
Check eBay or your local antique stores for vintage wedding rings instead of buying brand new. Or you can look for rings made from fair trade or recycled gold.
wedding dress
the easiest way to go green with a wedding dress is to buy pre-worn clothes. There are many sites online auctions and you can often find ads in local newspapers. Or you can rent a dress (like the groom can rent Tux). If you prefer to dress a new look for a country friendly fabrics such as cotton, hemp or linen.
photographer
Skip disposable cameras in all tables. This May seem like a fun idea, but many of the pictures do not come out and go to waste. Instead, keep a professional photographer who not only digital images. Look for a photographer who will provide all digital evidence, rather than paper evidence. I ask for images to disc. And if the album you want to find a photographer who has a printed on recycled paper.
Receiving food
If possible, choose organic and locally grown food. Ask your caterer to shop at the local market. I no longer entertain. So the food tends to get lost in the wedding ceremony. Calculate needs for food carefully. If there are any remnants ask the caterer pack and freeze the leftovers. If the caterer can not do because of safety and hygiene issues, ask them to compost as much food as possible.
As you can see there are many ways to green a wedding. Some other quick ideas for holding the ceremony and reception at the same place to save on gas and ask guests to carpool. For more ideas to make searching the internet for a green or eco-friendly vjenčanja.Internet a wealth of information!
