Planning eco-friendly weddings is a growing trend in 2010. Brides to be that are environmentally conscious are looking for new ways to integrate green solutions into their dream weddings. Luckily, I can honestly tell you that sending letterpress wedding invitations to your guests is one of the least expensive, most effective ways to cut the carbon emissions and environmental footprint of your wedding.
Allow me to explain:
We print our letterpress wedding invitations on Cranes Lettra 100% tree-free, recycled cotton paper that not only did not cause any trees to be cut down, but it was made using recycled cotton fibers. They have a comprehensive green commitment.
Also, our letterpress wedding invitations are printed using soy oil inks. These are NOT-petroleum based inks like the industry standard. They contain far fewer harmful chemicals and are more easily recycled.
An optional addition to throw into the eco-minded mix is sending out an RSVP postcard without the need for an additional envelope. Not only will this reduce the amount of paper needed for your letterpress invitation set, but you will even save money on postage and printing.
While there are many ways to reduce your weddings carbon footprint, tree free, letterpress invitations are certainly the most elegant. And you may be pleased to know that there is a special for 100 invitations and RSVP postcards that dramatically reduces the costs traditionally associated with letterpress printing.
