Go green at your next event! Although there are tons of way to go green, here are just a few ideas and suggestions you could use. Please feel free to add any of your ideas or suggestions by leaving a comment below!
1) Invitations
Send E-invites, not only to you save paper but you save quite a bit of coin by not using paper invites. Another advantage, your guests won't misplace the invitation or accidently throw in the garbage!
2)Transportation
Encourage your guests to carpool with people they know or that live nearby.
3)Table Centrepieces
You could put a beautiful edible arrangement together. If apples and roses for instance are in season, you could create a beautiful centrepiece by mixing the two. Another beautiful arrangement would be roses, cranberries and/or strawberries.
4) Food
Don't use any plastic bottles. Use glass or cans instead, they are easier to recycle than plastic!
Create a menu that will allow you to feast on some fabulous local foods. If you are hiring a caterer discuss if they would be open to use local and seasonal foods in their menu.
Reduce the amount of meat you serve or go totally vegetarian.
5)Party Favours
Give something local! Some great ideas as favours, especially here in Quebec a jar of honey or jam, a bottle of locally made cider or wine. Something your guests will definitly enjoy!!!
