"Green" your wedding from the get-go with environmentally-friendly invitations. You can go completely virtual, and use e-vites, or have your guests RSVP through your wedding web page, or, if you prefer the tactile satisfaction of a physical invitation, you can hunt out some "tree-free" invitations.

I've always liked paper. Notebooks, note pads, writing paper ... Good quality paper has a "rattle" - a particular sound it makes when shaken. It will have a watermark, a certain texture, a solid weight to it. Did you know it also has a grain? If you breathe softly on one corner, the fibers in the paper absorb the moisture from your breath, and will bend with that added weight.

Green invitations can be made from cotton or rag, as all paper was until the 1800's, or you can choose invitations made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Generally, cotton and rag paper is more expensive than recycled, which is more expensive than wood-pulp paper, but sometimes? Sometimes beauty, quality and less waste are worth a little extra.
