Ecoccasions

First impressions are always so important.  I wanted our invitations to say something personal about us in the way they looked and made.  I found the most fabulous 100% recycled card and paper to use and found the choice is getting better all the time.

We had quite a package for the invitation which included cards with an inner page and matching envelopes, as well as an information sheet (or two).  We put all the information on a website but just knew we’d get loads of calls if the information wasn’t there in black and white!  I didn’t feel so bad as all the card and paper was 100% recycled!

I went for ivory paper from a small efficient stationary company called Recycled Paper Supplies.  The website is straighforward to use and the stock is displayed online.  Ordering a sample is a must unless you know the range – this helped me make a decision on which colour, texture and thickness to use.  Ready scored greeting cards are a great bonus when you’ve got a few (hundred!) invitations to make and don’t forget to order the recylced address lables!

Search through the selections, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for.

The card I used for the place names was gorgeous and what about favour boxes?
