When people quit hyping the misleading fact that online invitations are “green” we will begin to have an intelligent debate about the environment. Until then, it is just self-serving happy talk full of misinformation and cynicism.

I encourage you all to visit Greenvelope.com for some more traditional wedding evite ideas.

I strive to deliver the most elegant electronic invitation service by emulating the experience of opening a “traditional” printed invitation. By creating a positive online experience, I hope more hosts will consider sending invitations electronically for formal events – to help save trees, and additionally save time and money. To express my commitment towards this goal, I donate 10% of every sale to Mountains to Sounds, a non-profit organization that maintains forests. Together we can “invite” a greener future.

Best,
Sam

Also, I am a 30 something woman who considers herself to be “pretty techie”. I use Facebook for personal and business use, I Tweet everyday for business and I encourage my brides to have a wedding website.

However, all that being said wedding invitations, business correspondance and thank you notes are just a few places where we need to encourage tradition to continue and recyle all that paper in your trash can instead of cutting back on things that make like personal!
