Recycled paper / leather invitation cards

Paper invitations have always been a tradition. But as recipients discard them they add up on the waste in the environment. In 2011, 66.8 percent of paper consumed in the United States was recycled. Every ton of paper recycled saves more than 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space. If you measure by weight, more paper is recovered for recycling than plastic, aluminum and glass combined.

Modern invites are usually distributed in the form of e-cards, however, many people are of the view that they are an informal gesture. By using old papers, clothes you can make creative invitation card by simple painting. Paper is a material that we’re used to recycling, since 87 percent of us have access to curbside or drop-off recycling for paper.

• Organic Food Menu

This produce contains fewer pesticides. Chemicals such as fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides are widely used in conventional agriculture and residues remain on (and in) the food we eat. This food is often fresher because it doesn’t contain preservatives that make it last longer. If you have some green-minded folks at your party then do ensure that there is an abundance of animal-free items on the menu. For the carnivores, go for grass-fed beef and dairy, range-free chicken and sustainable seafood. Ditch the processed and packaged foodstuffs like pretzels and chips and prepare yummy homemade snacks like crackers and cookies. Fresh fruit juices, milk shakes and organic herbal teas should be the most appropriate drink options. ( Image Source )

Pre-party dress swap

Clothing swaps are gaining popularity these days for many reasons, the first reason being, of course, that you get to get together with a bunch of friends and family members and swap things you’d otherwise dump at your local thrift store – and gain a whole new batch of gently-used stuff that’s now new-to-you. With this, everyone gets the novelty of wearing a new dress and also save you from spending money uselessly.

According to the Clean Air Council, every day 43,000 tons of food are thrown out in the United States, and each year Americans toss out enough paper and plastic cups, forks, and spoons to circle the equator 300 times. That’s the bad news. The good news is that with a bit of creativity and a little know-how, you can throw a fun, festive affair without it taking a major toll on the environment. Go green, think some eco-friendly party idea and save our own mother earth!
