Send Recycled Paper Invitations
Recycled paper is so cute! It has rough edges which add a lovely boho touch to your wedding invites. Ordering recycled paper is just as easy as ordering regular invitations – you can either talk to your supplier or go the DIY route and purchase recycled paper to print your own designs. That way youre in control of the production cycle. Is there recycled printer ink out there? Another way to put together completely eco-friendly wedding invitations is to create wedding invitations from old papers that the two of you have collected over your relationship. Maybe you and your fiance have tons of concert posters that you went to together in college and youre looking to give them a second life. Make them borders of your wedding invites! Not only are they totally unique wedding invites, but its a fun craft to do together!
Request Memories From Your Guests, Not Gifts
More and more couples are getting married later in life, so its not as necessary to ask for all the starter stuff at a wedding like pots and pans. Instead of creating a registry full of things that you dont really need, ask your guests to contribute to a honeymoon fund so that you and your spouse can start your marriage with honeymoon fun! Another way you can ask your guests to contribute is to ask for pledges to your favorite charity. Youre having a party with all the people that you love and you know that there is a little more good in the world. Double win!
Ask Your Florist About Local Flowers
Local flowers are so underrated as a gorgeous touch for any boho style wedding. Bonus – theyre also often cheaper! Theyll last longer because theyre from right around the corner. And youre supporting your local small business by selecting blooms that are readily available and make for wonderful centerpieces and bouquets. Our in-house partner Blush Floral Design Studio loves to meet with brides and make their wedding visions come true!
