With warmer weather approaching, it is time to think of summer wedding invitations. Many brides take advantage of the sunny, longer days that spring and summer bring with a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony. The natural splendor of the outdoors pairs well with green wedding invitations, which give your guests a colorful announcement of your wedding day.

In today’s modern wedding invitations, there are two categories of green: bright shades of lime, sage, and forest green, and eco-friendly wedding invitations made from recycled paper and soy based ink. Both of these simple wedding invitation ideas showcase your love of nature, although in very different ways!

Green wedding invitations are a bold statement, coming in a variety of shades to highlight the tone and style of your wedding day. They can be bright lime green, or just a hint of green on the accent leaves. Whether you are having a traditional, romantic wedding, or a rocking fun time at your wedding reception, there are green wedding invitations for every occasion.

Environmentally friendly wedding invitations are ideal for weddings that celebrate of protecting our Earth. You can ensure that your wedding day does not contribute greatly to your “carbon footprint”, i.e., the amount of environmental impact you create throughout your life. While not all of your wedding guests will notice your eco-friendly wedding invitations, those who do will be glad that you chose to help the environment.

What kind of green wedding invitations are your favorites? The bold yet earthy shades of green colors, or the environmentally aware and simple wedding invitations?
