Plantable Wedding Invitations – Beautiful, Practical, and Eco Friendly

Eco Friendly Weddings are fast becoming a popular choice for green-minded couples. The conscious efforts they undertake when planning their weddings include such things as: choosing floral arrangements and centerpieces that were grown ‘pesticide-free’, serving a mainly ‘organic’ meal (using as many organic and local ingredients as possible), and handing out eco friendly favors (tree seed favors, as an example).

Something you can do at the start of your planning that will let your guests know that you are eco conscious is to send out plantable wedding invitations. Not only will they serve as very beautiful invitations – they are actually ’small gifts of nature’ to your guests. When planted they will provide your guests with a colorful array of wildflowers. And since many of the plantable invitations I’ve seen are embedded with, at least in part, perennial wildflowers – it is a gift that keeps on giving in years to come.

Your choices for eco friendly wedding invitations are constantly expanding so make sure you do a bit of searching to find the perfect one that captures your feelings. This could include the color of the invitation, the images that grace the invitation, the color of the ink etc. Each of these elements helps you to ‘personalize’ the invitation with your sense of style and taste. And remember to check to see if the invitations are printed on 100% post-consumer waste, seeded embedded plantable paper.
