Happy planning!

I must say, I’m floored by this green tip.  It was by no way on purpose and was totally a happy accident.  I found the coolest thing on the web this week.  In efforts of reducing their carbon footprint, some brides are actually renting their wedding cake.  Hold the music.  It sounded completely off to me too!  How do you rent a wedding cake you ask??  Well… to be honest, the whole idea is simply genius!

Has anyone told you how fun a blog is?  You may already be blogging savvy, but if you’re not, blogs are fun and easy to create.  Whether you just blog about personal stuff or to inform people.  The great thing about a blog, is it constantly updates your readers whenever you post.  All they have to do to is go to your blog and read it!  This brings us to our next green tip:

Think about the last wedding you were invited to… The mail comes, and there it is, for once its not a bill, but a wedding invitation. That wedding invitation is a sneak peek into the entire event.
