One of the concerns of eco friendly brides is the acid used to make the paper for their wedding invitation sets. Whether the paper is made from wood pulp or tree-free materials like cotton, part of the traditional manufacturing process involves using harmful acids. But it does not have to be this way.

There have been a handful of technological advances that allow printers now to use acid free, tree free, 100% recycled and recyclable paper products that are just about as environmentally friendly as anything could possibly be. And we are proud to be a part of this growing movement of ecologically minded printers. And one of the best parts about this new innovation is acid free paper does not cost any more than traditional papers. Think green, save green, be green!

But no matter what you are having printed, be it wedding invitations or business cards, if you care about the earth and stopping the usage of harmful acids in paper production, be sure to specifically request that your printing be done on paper that is acid free. The earth will thank you and you can feel especially good about your purchase at the same time.
