Going Green

With a variety of companies and organizations going "green", why not a wedding? There are numerous ways that couples can achieve a green wedding! The first would be to hold your ceremony and reception at the same location. This would save on car emissions that would come from the automobiles, buses and limos that your guests would use to get between two sites. Or how about a ceremony and reception location that are so close that your guests could take a stroll while the happy couple are getting their pictures taken. Couples can use paper products out of recyled papers, have soy or bees wax candles, and ask for organic foods, especially locally grown! Use natural light or candle light to provide a beautful ambiance without wearing down the environment.

Make your registry count! The I Do Foundation www.idfoundation.org, offers charitable contributions to your charity of choice when your guests purchase a gift from your registry. And the best part is it costs them nothing extra! Instead of giving out favors to your guests, why not donate to your favorite charity? Most charitable organziations will send you personalized scrolls for all of your guests to enjoy.

You can have fun and go green at that same time!
