10 Reasons to Choose Eco-Friendly Wedding Invitations That Bloom
Planning your wedding is one of the most exciting times in your life—but it can also generate a surprising amount of waste. If you’re a couple who wants to reduce your environmental impact, starting with your invitations is a beautiful and intentional first step. Choosing eco-friendly wedding invitations not only reflects your values, but it also sets the tone for a sustainable celebration your guests will remember.
At Little Green Wedding, we create meaningful plantable stationery made from 100% recycled seed paper—so your eco-friendly wedding invitations don’t end up in landfill. They grow into wildflowers instead! Here’s why more and more couples are falling in love with this planet-friendly choice.
1. 🌎 Made from 100% Recycled Materials
Our seed paper is made entirely from post-consumer recycled materials, meaning no trees are harmed in the making of your eco-friendly wedding invitations. This reduces the demand for virgin paper, saves water and energy, and helps divert waste from landfills. Choosing recycled paper means choosing a cleaner planet.
2. 🌼 Completely Plantable
Your eco-friendly wedding invitations do more than invite—they bloom. Each piece is embedded with wildflower seeds, which guests can plant in soil after the big day. In a few weeks, they’ll see flowers blooming in their garden—a living, growing reminder of your love. It’s a beautiful way to ensure your wedding has a long-lasting, positive impact.
3. ♻️ Zero Waste Wedding Stationery
Unlike traditional invitations, our eco-friendly wedding invitations are fully compostable. No plastic coatings. No foil stamping. Just biodegradable materials that nourish the Earth. When planted, they break down naturally, leaving only flowers behind. This means you can enjoy a beautiful design without contributing to landfill.
4. 🐝 Supports Pollinators
The wildflowers that grow from our eco-friendly wedding invitations support local biodiversity by attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. It’s a meaningful way to contribute to ecosystems and help combat the global decline in pollinator populations. As pollinators play a vital role in our food systems and environment, this small choice can have a big ripple effect.
5. 🎁 A Gift in Disguise
Let’s be honest—most wedding invites end up in the bin. But not these. With eco-friendly wedding invitations, you're giving guests a second gift: the joy of growing their own wildflowers. It’s a sweet, symbolic gesture that guests love. Many couples tell us that guests talk about the flowers blooming months later, reminding them of your special day.
6. 🌱 Printed with Vegetable-Based Inks
Our invitations are printed using eco-friendly vegetable inks that are non-toxic and safe for soil. Traditional inks often contain harmful chemicals, but we make sure our printing process is gentle on the Earth from start to finish. This ensures your eco-friendly wedding invitations are beautiful and safe for the environment.
7. 🎨 Fully Customisable to Your Theme
Going green doesn’t mean going bland. Our designs range from modern minimalism to romantic floral, rustic chic to boho elegance. You can personalise fonts, colours, wording, and illustrations to match your unique style. Whether you’re planning a spring garden wedding or an elegant woodland celebration, we’ve got something perfect for you.
8. 💍 Sets the Tone for a Sustainable Celebration
Your invitation is the first impression of your wedding. Choosing eco-friendly wedding invitations tells your guests that sustainability is important to you—and it might even inspire them to adopt greener habits. From compostable confetti to locally sourced catering, your invitations are the first step in a bigger green journey.
9. 💌 Lightweight and Post-Friendly
Our flat, one-sheet invitations are designed to be lightweight, which reduces postage costs and emissions. It’s not just good for your budget—it’s good for the planet. Lower postal weight means lower fuel usage in shipping—another win for eco-conscious couples.
10. ❤️ Makes a Statement
