Why We Love it

Finding great eco-friendly invitations on a budget isn’t easy, but these recycled blank cards with a beautiful floral design from Foxglover Greetings are ideal.

They are only $14 for 20 cards and you can write whatever information you need to include inside each guest’s invitation by hand. (See number 4 for eco-friendly pens.) Handwritten invitations are a great way to set the tone for your wedding and show your guests how much you value them.

Why We Love it

You don’t have to go all-out with the invitations to make your guests feel special – you can even limit the extra paper of an envelope by choosing to send a postcard instead!

These RSVP Rustic Greenery Postcards by Bliss Collections are stunning, and are just $12.99 for 50 postcards – you’ll certainly struggle to find better-looking RSVP invitations for less, and the reviews are glowing.

To be super eco-friendly, set up a designated Gmail address and ask your guests to email their response to that address. If you don’t like the Rustic Greenery design, they also do a Blush Floral print design.

If you aren’t the kind of couple to go beyond planning who is sitting at each table, why not send your invitation with the table they’ll be sitting at? These Greenery Place Cards also from Bliss Collections, are perfect.

Write the name of the couple on the front and add the details inside. As with their RSVP cards above, they’re just $14.99 for 50, and all their card is uncoated and contains 10% recycled materials.

Be aware that they are small (2 x 3.5 inches), so this may not be suitable for large weddings or elderly relatives.

Remember the suggestion we made above about DIYing your own invitations? Here’s how you can put that into practice.

Use a blank greetings card and envelope set like this 48-pack of blank natural colored “greetings” cards. A set like this will only set you back $13.99 and will allow you to do any design and add any information you like.

Metallic pens look especially good on the brown cardstock, but this is often toxic – a pack like these Uni Posca Paint Markers on Amazon include silver and gold and are non-toxic and water-based, so are a much better choice.

Remember to add a note asking your guests to recycle the invitation once the date has passed.

Price: $24.99

Why We Love it

Want to get really creative? If your wedding is going to have a natural theme you could use wooden slices and write your invite onto it in marker or paint.

These ARTEZA Wood Slices are very affordable (just $24.99 for 45 2.4″ – 2.8″ in diameter) and will fit in an envelope.

Not only is this a very unique way to invite your guests to your wedding, but all of those slices will biodegrade naturally.

If you are having a winter wedding, you can incorporate a winter or Christmas theme into the design and tie a string through the hole so your guests can use the invitation on their Christmas trees afterward to remember the day for years to come!
