DIY Eco-Invitations from InviteSite.com

I briefly wrote about InviteSite in The Everything Green Wedding Book.

They offer fabulous eco-friendly invitations and eco-DIY invitation kits to help couples go green for their weddings.

I think what I love most about the eco-paper (other than the fact it saves trees) is the texture. The fabulous textures of recycled, seeded, hand made, and tree free papers are so sensual. Thick, textured, grainy, seedy, fabric...these papers just feel amazing and the look is something that you just can't compare to a regular, boring, flat piece of paper.

I really love InviteSite's Seedling Wedding Invitations
