Green Wedding Resources

I was reading The Everything Green Wedding Book by Wenona Napolitano which has a huge section of resources and websites at the end, so I decided to share with you! This book not only has great resources, but wonderful tips and advice for your green wedding. I suggest picking it up at your local library or book store. By the way, more resources are available in the book, I just added some faves.

Vistaprint Rocks...STDs are back!



So, I used http://vistaprint.com/ to print our Save-The-Dates and I could not be more happy with the results! Total cost for 100 standard-size postcards with my uploaded design including shipping = $9.38! All I did was sign up for vistaprint's email list and they sent me offers for tons of freebies, all you pay for is shipping adn the use of an uploaded design ($2.49). I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs anything printed! Also, I chose the slowest method of shipping which says it can take up to 21 days, but I got my order in about a week! Anyhoo...here was the uploaded design I made with Microsoft Publisher:


And here's a picture of what vistaprint sent me:



Love 'em!
