Eco-friendly Party Invitations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step to any celebration is inviting your guests, which is the perfect place to start going green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital invitations<\/strong> are undoubtedly the most sustainable option. Platforms like Paperless Post, greenvelope.com or even a simple WhatsApp or email message can save paper and reduce waste.  Plus, online platforms often offer the option to import your guest list from email and track RSVPS in real time. So, what\u2019s not to like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, OK, we get that sometimes you want a paper invitation.  But, if you really must use them, at least consider recycled paper or, better still, seed paper which guest can plant afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use your invitations inform guests that the party is an eco-friendly event.  Hopefully, this will encourage them to join you in your sustainability efforts.  On that note, if you\u2019re celebrating something like a wedding anniversary and would prefer not to receive gifts, mention this on your invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borrow, don\u2019t buy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Parties can tempt us to buy all sorts of new things from extra chairs to fancy serving platters. But before you hit the shops, ask around.  Friends, family, or community groups often have what you need, if not it\u2019s often possible to hire the items you need.  You can, for example, avoid disposable tableware at kids\u2019 parties by using a party hire package (tableware and d\u00e9cor items) in your area.  These are reasonably priced and often include a washing up service too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
