Gifting Green


A new trend in wedding favors is leaning toward the kind that don't require any packaging at all! In fact, the point is quite the opposite. Environmentally friendly couples who wish to express their gratitude to their guests are more commonly opting for green gift options.


Making donations to the couple's favorite charity in the name of each guest is becoming more and more popular. It is still a very personal way to thank everyone for attending, while keeping true to a new green lifestyle.


Some couples are opting for green gifts on their registry. For those who are already armed with all the kitchen gear they need, couples can request carbon credits to offset their honeymoon travel, tree plantings in their name, book donations or general acts of charity made their honor. For these couples, it's all about the feel good factor, and if Grandma's china already fits the bill, consider a green registry option for those so inclined.


After all, Mother Earth is always married to mankind!
