An email exchange with an employee of The Green Bride Guide over the past week has made me wonder how many couples actually calculate the carbon footprint of their wedding. I might post something on the knot's discussion board about this and survey all the beautiful brides out there. It is actually a lot less expensive than one would think! TerraPass and Carbon Fund are the best organizations I have come across so far.
Favors have always seemed so wasteful to me so it is kind of fun to think of creative ways to show your appreciation and love for the environment. My fiance and I made the decision to offset all of our guests travel for our green wedding this summer and use it as a favor. I worked with a local San Francisco vendor, Pixie Stick Press to print customized welcome cards on 100% post consumer recycled paper informing guests of the donation. It has actually been kind of fun entering in all the details knowing we are at least minimizing our impact on the environment.
And... I just can't wait to give our guests their favor! I love them!
