“Going Green” is the hottest buzzword these days with the climate change and environment issues hounding us. As part of our contribution to the fight against global warming, below is a list of tips we gathered for a “Green Wedding“.
• Hold your wedding in a park or garden
• Use single layer invitation cards printed on recycled paper, treeless paper made from bamboo or other materials, or better yet, use e-invitations to reduce paper wastage
• If using disposable tableware, choose biodegradable products
• Encourage your guests to car-pool or van-pool
• Choose a caterer that is familiar with the venue to avoid any damage to the site during their setup or teardown
• Select wedding favors that are useful for your guests to minimise throwaways
• Consider using pre-owned items (e.g. wedding gown, decorations) for your wedding
• Decorate your wedding venue with potted plants that you can use again to decorate your home instead of fresh cut flowers where possible
• Source for local flowers and plants to decorate the wedding venue to minimise resources used in transporting them
• Setup a gift registry to minimise unwanted gifts
• Let your guests know to avoid giving congratulatory cards but instead sign their best wishes on your wedding guestbook.
• Request for guests to donate towards an environmental cause
• Request for cleaners at the venue to separate recyclable items from those that are not and dispose them accordingly
• Avoid shark’s fin in your menu
• Avoid the use of confetti
