Happy Monday, all! I apologize for the utter drought in posting last week – I came down with a killer cold that literally knocked me out on Tuesday and Friday morning, and I also started a new part-time job at a local kid’s clothing store in the mall (student loans sure don’t pay for themselves!), so needless to say, it was a crazy week.

For today’s Green Post, I wanted to share a great resource for brides who don’t want to sacrifice paper goods at their wedding, but are looking to cut down the footprint of such goods. Look no further than Botanical Paperworks, which provides paper that literally can be planted post-use!

From holiday cards to invitations to journals to paper in bulk, Botanical Paperworks has it all. I’m thinking about utilizing plantable paper for our wedding menus, because while I have a creative idea for our menus (I’ll share that with you sometime!), I don’t like the idea of creating yet another paper good for our guests to discard.

By simply making guests take notice of the paper you’re using and asking them to plant the paper in your honor after the wedding, you’re dramatically reducing the environmental footprint of your wedding by reducing waste.

How do you plan to reduce your wedding’s environmental impact?
