Bridal Shower Invite wording...how to ask guests to use eco-friendly wrapping paper?


Recommended Posts

My friend and I are in the process of planning a bridal shower. I would like the invitations to ask guests to use recyclable wrapping paper or to be creative with how they wrap gifts...use newspaper, paper bags, or just not wrap them at all. I don't want the invite to be tacky...the idea is to save money and be environment friendly.

 

Any ideas?

I like this idea. I tried it once christmas. I wrapped presents for a work party gift swap in magazines. People didn't get it. my two gifts were the last two picked, even though they were good presents.

 

i hate seeing how much paper gets tossed after the holidays.

How about suggesting items be wrapped creatively with tea towels & a recipe the couple may enjoy cooking together in the kitchen. Or in baskets that they can re use for decoration, storage. Laundry hampers etc.

 

Just say in the invite that the shower is eco-friendly and all gifts (wrapping included) needs to have a re-usable purpose! Makes people think creatively. You will probably still end up with some gifts wrapped, but at least it will limit most of it.

I would love to do evites, but my friend's mom is hosting the shower and my friend and I are just helping with invites, favors, centerpieces. She requested that we send out invities with RSVP cards.

 

I am trying to incorporate eco-friendly ideas into the whole shower...so far I haven't thought of anything fantastic...maybe seed packets for the favors and recycled wine bottles with flowers as the centerpieces.

 

Does anyone have a good idea?

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
