Here are some other tips on how to save the earth bit by bit, starting with your green wedding:
· Buy antique rings or pawn shop rings; you often get a more unique product this way and you can save a lot of money in the process.
· Use biodegradable disposable cups, plates, spoons, knives, and forks at your reception. The environment and the dishwasher will both thank you, not to mention whoever pays the water bill.
· If the above option does not suit you, consider renting your dishes and eating utensils from the caterer. That way, you don’t have to worry about the dishes and you don’t have to worry about plastic cups and spoons up to the ears.
· Have your wedding ceremony and your wedding reception at the same location, if at all possible. This saves your guests on gas having to get back and forth between the two locations, it saves them a possible change of clothes, and it decreases the amount of pollutants in the air by decreasing the amount of driving they have to do in the name of your ceremony.
I hope that these ideas have got your brain stirring for creative ways that you can make your special day earth friendly and not lead to a trip to debt counseling classes for you and the new husband. I hope everyone has a great wedding and remember to keep it green!
