How to Create Eco Friendly Wedding Invitations?

• Choose a digital invite and deliver online
• Use recycled or recyclable wedding paper stock
• Avoid plastic inserts and embellishments
• Choose an eco friendly font that uses less ink
• Buy, or make, eco-friendly envelopes 

Choose an eco friendly e-invitation service

When it comes to sending out invitations for events, there are a lot of different options available to you. You can send paper invitations, electronic invitations, or video messages. Each idea has its own set of pros and cons, and each option is better suited for certain types of events. 

If you're looking for an environmentally-friendly option, then electronic invitations are a great way to go. There are a number of different e-invitation services available, and most of them are very easy to use. All you need to do is create an account, upload your event details, and select a design. Some different formats include event websites, such as a Wedding website, or you can create still digital images, or even animated videos, that can be sent via message systems such as WhatsApp.

The best part about using an e-invitation service is that you can track your invitations easily using an online rsvp. Plus, you can send reminder emails to any guests who have not yet responded.

E-invitations are also cheaper than paper invitations. You can send as many invitations as you want without paying a penny extra, and there are no postage costs involved.

So, if you're looking for an environmentally-friendly way to send out your invitations, then electronic invitations are a great option.

Choosing paper invites? Select a recycled or recyclable wedding paper stock

When it comes to wedding paper, there are many options to choose from. You can go with recycled paper, recyclable paper, or even biodegradable paper. Each type of paper has its own benefits and drawbacks.

Recycled paper is made from previously used paper materials. This can include old newspapers, magazines, office paper, or any other type of paper that can be recycled. The great thing about recycled paper is that it helps reduce the amount of waste that goes into landfills. It also uses fewer resources to produce than virgin paper, making it a more environmentally friendly option. However, recycled paper can sometimes be less durable than other types of paper and may not look as nice. 

Recyclable paper is made from recycled materials, but it is also recyclable itself. This means that once you’re done with your wedding invitations or other stationery, you can recycle them instead of throwing them away. This makes recyclable paper a more sustainable option in the long run. However, it can be a bit more expensive than other types of paper and it may not be available in every color or style.

Biodegradable paper is made from plant-based materials and breaks down naturally over time. This makes it a good choice for eco-conscious couples who want their wedding stationery to be as environmentally friendly as possible. However, biodegradable paper can be more expensive than other types of paper and it may not be available in every color or style.

Avoid using non-environmentally friendly plastic inserts and embellishments in wedding invitations

Many of the embellishments and inserts that are commonly used in wedding invitations – such as rhinestones and plastic ‘pearls’ – are not recyclable and often end up in landfills.

And if it's not made from recycled materials, it's likely produced from oil, which is a non-renewable resource. So why not choose an alternative that's better for the environment?

There are plenty of beautiful, eco friendly options available for wedding invitations. You can find recycled paper with colorful designs, or choose a natural fibre like bamboo or cotton. There are also many great options for embellishments, including flowers, leaves, and other natural materials. Or, if you really want to use something flashy, use Swarovski crystals instead of rhinestones.

Choose an eco friendly font that uses less ink

There are a number of different eco friendly fonts available on the market today. While some of these fonts use less ink than others, they all still manage to look great and get your Wedding invitation details across. One popular eco friendly font is called Ecofont. This font is made up of small holes that actually uses 20% less ink than traditional fonts. If you are looking for an environmentally friendly font that will save you money on ink, Ecofont is a great option, however there are many elegant low ink fonts available such as Ryman Eco, Century Gothic and Brush Script.

With regards to printing. If you're using a printer, look to use recycled or soy-based ink cartridges. And if you're printing a lot of invitations, try using a printer that's Energy Star certified, which means it uses less energy than other printers.

Eco friendly envelope options

If you go with a Wedding paper stock that can be recycled, the envelopes it comes in typically cannot. That's because the adhesive and lining on traditional Wedding invitation envelopes are not biodegradable. So, even if you recycle the envelope and the paper inside, the adhesive and lining will still end up in a landfill.

There are many eco friendly envelope options available online made from 100% post-consumer waste materials like bamboo, sugarcane and corn starch. These envelopes are not only environmentally friendly but also stylish and affordable! Alternatively, if you are feeling creative, why not create your own recycled envelopes with used paper and materials. This will give each envelope its own unique style that will not be lost on your guests.
