There are many wedding invitation ideas that can be used to help make all those that receive them, really look forward to your very special day. When it comes to inviting people to the big event many couples cut the cost by doing it themselves on a home computer and printer. This can work really well if you have a good idea how to properly layout the invitation to look both professional and appealing. The quality of the final product will then depend on the paper and envelopes you use and we would advise you not to skimp on this part
There is a trend that is gaining popularity with 'green products' 
to help reduce any unnecessary waste. Unless you are the bride, groom or related – would the invitations be kept by any of the invited guests as a keepsake anyway? Is it worth the thought of giving out invitations that not only serve their original purpose but are also environmentally friendly?
Thankfully there are now an array of choices for 'green' invitations and wedding items that are truly environmentally friendly. When creating your wedding invitations there are actually several 'green' options for the paper and envelopes from most wedding suppliers. For the couple who are more environmentally conscious using handmade, recycled paper is a good option. Not only does it provide a creative, distinguished, natural feel to your invites, it also does a great deal of good for the environment. There are also all natural options for your wedding envelopes.
If you want to carry the all natural feel to your table, there are place cards made from recycled paper, and all natural place card holders. made of shells, bamboo, wood and other natural products. When you look more closely at the recyclable wedding invitation ideas available you find that the quality of the items can actually be very good and not inferior to other more standard products.
One of the very best environmentally friendly products that has been universally accepted is 'green' confetti. This is bio-degradable and makes no mess as it dissolves with water, leaving no real waste to sweep up.
If you are an eco friendly style couple, then going for 'green' wedding invitations may be the ideal way to make your wedding a meaningful and memorable day for both of you. Wedding invitation ideas that are a little different are well worth considering and of course going green can actually have a very positive effect on your guests who will appreciate the thought behind it.
