Earth Day Wedding

Today we are celebrating Earth Day. All over the media people are giving tips for making your life more eco-friendly. Reduce, reuse, recycle are words we hear every day. Even the wedding industry is promoting "green" weddings; using 100% recycled paper for your invitations, donating leftover food instead of throwing it away and even buying rings made from recycled precious metals.

I have always loved the idea of gift trees as favors. The Arbor Day Foundation has a wonderful program for ordering individually packaged trees. They even offer custom labels so you can put your wedding information on them. Trees can be shipped year round and planted indoors if the weather isn't conducive to outdoor planting right away.

What types of things are you doing to be more eco-friendly for your wedding?
