Go Digital

Say goodbye to traditional paper invitations and RSVPs and go digital! Use online invitations and RSVP forms to save paper and postage costs. Additionally, use digital displays instead of printed banners or posters to cut down on waste. 💌💻

Use Sustainable Tableware

Ditch the single-use plastic tableware and opt for biodegradable or compostable alternatives such as bamboo, wooden, or paper plates. Use cloth napkins and real silverware instead of paper napkins and plastic cutlery to reduce waste. 🍽🌱

Serve Sustainable Food and Drinks

Choose locally sourced, organic, and seasonal food and drinks for your party. Use reusable pitchers or dispensers for drinks instead of plastic bottles or individual servings. Avoid single-use packaging such as condiment packets and use refillable condiment dispensers instead. 🍝🍹
