Eco-Friendly Party Planning, Ideas, and Supplies
Celebrate Earth Day Invitations
We are pleased to report that Zazzle, one of our favorite, merchants, is now offering downloadable versions of many invitations. There really is no better way to save trees than to skip the paper invitations. Now you can email or text your earth day celebration invitations.
To celebrate the earth you should use 100% recycled invitations. Those from Paper Culture are not only made from recycled materials, but a tree is planted for every order!
Some of the cutest finds are below:
For an Earth Day party, keeping colors natural is best. For spring, to keep the theme seasonally current, use light green and dusty brown. Using “Lime Classic,” like pictured below, is a great way to add a fun color element. Contrast this bright with accents in burlap, wood, and bamboo to add both balance and texture.
Setting an Eco-Friendly Table
Burlap
Great as table runners, placemats, or cut into strips to create chic, stylish, eco-friendly napkin rings!
This is a fabulous deal -$2.75 buys you a 36″ x 46″ piece of burlap in just about any color you can imagine. Simply cut it into 12″ x 12″ squares for placemats
For place settings, try to avoid using disposable, to reduce the amount of garbage created by your party. Instead consider investing in eco friendly dinnerware you can use year round.

Food for your Earth Day Celebration
Turn planning the food for your Earth Day party into a fun adventure. Instead of frequenting your usual caterers or grocers, check out your local farmers' market . Create a menu based on ingredients that are in season, local and organic. (In April think fava beans, asparagus, and rhubarb – check out Epicurious' fabulous Earth Day menu ideas)
The fewer miles the food needs to travel to get to your table, the fresher it will taste and the less carbon footprint you will leave. Avoid using too much butter or oils in the preparation—celebrate the ingredients as they are! Likewise, use flowers and plants grown organically and locally – use your own garden as inspiration. Local Harvest is a wonderful source for regionally grown flowers and foods. For your beverage choices, tap water is always best but other options include include organic wines and vodkas and consider tapping into your local craft beer scene.
