(prHWY.com) June 14, 2012 - Florida, FL -- Florida, June 14, 2012 - One of the latest trends in planning a wedding is going green. This extends to all aspects of the ceremony and reception. All paper products, for example, are made from recycled paper and vegetable-based inks, while wedding favors or placeholders often don't have any paper or plastic involved. Even the bride's dress is made from recycled materials is purchased second-hand. If you'd like to be environmentally-friendly on your big day but aren't sure how to go about it, here are some suggestions for going green with your wedding, mainly with your invitations.
Tropical Wedding Invitations - The most common approach for going green is through recycled paper, and the same applies to wedding invitations. Fully and partially recycled paper is available through many printers, and some even have non-tree paper made from bamboo or hemp.
Invitations also need printing, and this is typically done with vegetable or soy-based inks. However, although alternative materials are used, this doesn't limit the color and style possibilities you can have with a set of wedding invitations. In addition, less is more when going green. Drop all of the extra cards in an invitation and either print everything on one card or redirect your guests to a website to RSVP.
This print and hybrid approach has become somewhat common with green weddings. Many guests want a keepsake from the wedding, and the recycled paper invitation provides this. But, instead of many cards stuffed together in an envelope to RSVP or for the menu, a print card can direct guests to a website to view this information and reply.
Another option includes sending all invitations, such as the save the date and wedding shower, by email and sending the proper invitation by mail. In all instances, trees are saved once all non-recycled paper and materials are cut from the equation.
