Matt & Mary Engaged & Green!

Monica and I are proud to be working with such a lovely couple, Matt and Mary, who live in the DC area. We are currently helping them plan their June Cinciannti wedding.  Mary is such a joy to work with; she is so open to new ideas, we are having a lot of fun with it.  I thought it would be great to post something about how to be green during your engagement and not just focus on "the day".  There are thousands of things you can do along the way which really add up to make a huge difference.  I am hoping by showcasing some of the decisions Matt & Mary have made it will inspire some of you other engaged brides as well.

First up: Save the Date

Mary was totally open to the idea of sending an electronic Save the Date to save paper.  She used a website called Pingg to personalize their card. I can't copy the entire card to show you but this is the image they uploaded with the following text:

Save the Date -Matt and Mary are getting hitched!

We are absolutely thrilled to be getting married and we hope you will be able to join us. Don't forget to mark your calendar!

Next Up: Engagement Photos

They were able to save $green$ by going green on this one and hired a local DC photographer (and close friend of theirs) to take the photos.  He did an absolutely amazing job.
