1. Seed Paper Invitations
These seed paper invitations by @LittleGreenPaperShop are not only beautiful, but sustainable. Once your guests used their invitation, they can plant it to grow a beautiful flower patch. However, even if they decide not to plant flowers, the paper is 100% biodegradable. What a unique way to stay eco-friendly!
2. Reusable Face Masks
You might be nervous about hosting a larger wedding with the current pandemic, but there are ways to be smart. One solution would be to give out reusable face masks as wedding favors. These masks by @FabricMasksShop are a beautiful way to protect the health of yourself and your guests.
3. Wedding Toss
Another of the 6 Sustainable Wedding Solutions for Your Big Day is to be wise about what you use for the wedding toss. One example would be these sachets of lavender by @BelierHandmade. You could also toss seeds or biodegradable confetti.
4. Compostable Plates
If you aren’t using real china, you could try using compostable plates such as these by @dtocs. Keep in mind paper plates covered in food residue cannot be recycled and usually end up in the landfill where biodegrading processes are slow. Not to mention the energy it takes to even make a paper plate. Choosing compostable plates for your wedding dinner is an excellent way to be more sustainable.
5. Napkins
You might think this idea is a little extra, but using linen napkins at your wedding is a practical way to be more eco-friendly. These napkins by @ParishFarmgirl are a good choice, and would make a thoughtful wedding favor.
6. Electronic Save the Dates
My final suggestion in the list of 6 Sustainable Wedding Solutions for Your Big Day is to use an electronic save the dates. Etsy has many templates available, such as the one above by @ViolaMirabilisDesign. Not sending save the dates in the mail will not only save you money on postage, but will reduce your overall carbon foot print. It’s a win-win!
