Earth Friendly Wedding invitations

.






















wanted to share some ideas i am working on for a self mailing, earth friendly approach to a 'crisp & clean' wedding invitation. using minimal materials with maximum impact. the response is a tear off and printed on a single sheet of recycled paper. i would love to print this on a 'plantable' flower seed paper! that would really leave a lovely 'footprint'
