More and more couples are looking for ways to make their weddings more eco-friendly. Here are some tips on how to reduce your big day's carbon footprint:
1. Choose a Green Venue
Consider venues that prioritize sustainability, such as botanical gardens or national parks. Some venues even offer carbon offset programs.
2. Go Digital
Save paper by sending digital invitations and creating a wedding website where guests can RSVP, find the registry, and get all the information they need.
3. Use Local and Seasonal Flowers
Importing flowers can have a significant carbon footprint. Choose local, seasonal flowers instead.
4. Serve Local and Organic Food
Choose a caterer who uses local, organic ingredients. This not only reduces your carbon footprint, but it also supports local farmers.
5. Choose Eco-Friendly Favors
Instead of traditional favors, consider giving your guests something eco-friendly, like seed packets or reusable shopping bags.
Remember, every little bit helps. Even small changes can make a big difference in reducing the environmental impact of your wedding.
