eco-friendly

You and your partner are being responsible when planning your wedding. For example, you are putting thought into your guest list, sticking to a budget so that you can kick off your marriage without debt, and you are being thoughtful about how you entertain your guests. There is a lot of thought that goes into planning a responsible wedding.

Ways to Know That Your Wedding Dress Is “The One”

However, there is another way that you can host a responsible wedding that will have a lasting effect. You can plan an eco-friendly wedding!

Here at Mountain House on Sunday River, we value nature and offer our gratitude to others who do too. We love nature so much that we wanted to share a few tips for planning an eco-friendly wedding. To discover some great insight, be sure to continue reading:

  • Skip the Paper Invitations. Your wedding can start being eco-friendly from the very beginning. Choosing electronic invitations will allow you to pass on sending paper invites, as paper certainly creates a lot of waste. In fact, you can go all out with an interactive wedding website. This will provide every detail necessary for your guests and will get them hyped for your wedding as soon as they see it.
  • Biodegradable Options. “Biodegradable” is a key word in the eco-friendly world. This means that your items can return to nature and won’t leave a large carbon footprint. Choose biodegradable options when creating your wedding. For example, choosing bamboo plates will still provide you with a beautiful presentation while also being eco-friendly.
  • Even Your Cuisine Matters. Providing a delicious meal is a great way to win the hearts of your guests. But, how do you keep your wedding cuisine eco-friendly? Think of all the packaging that is applied to a single steak, a pack of veggies, and so much more. That’s a lot of waste! Instead, you can find a farm-to-table caterer that can provide food straight from the farm to your plates.
