Eco-friendly green wedding postage

If you’re planning a green wedding, you can use the Green Wedding Stamp from Artistic Postage. I heard about this stamp recently in a release, and I like the idea of letting people know that your wedding is green. Plus the stamp is pretty sweet:
The downside – the Artistic Postage website is a total nightmare. The site is tough to navigate, there’s no search, and it’s super hard to find this stamp. To see it…
- Go to their website and find the link for wedding stamps in the left sidebar. Click it.
- Once you’re on the wedding page, scroll down until you see, “Spring Wedding Stamps & Summer Wedding Stamps” and this green wedding stamp is below that heading.
- OR skip that nonsense and click here: Green Wedding Stamp
However, if you’re looking for a nice green wedding stamp, it’s worth a trip to the site. Actually, because I was so frustrated with this site, it got me thinking; maybe there are other green wedding stamps or just greener-made stamps in general. I’ll look into it, and when I find out, I’ll let you know.
If you’re looking for help planning your perfect green wedding visit the Green Wedding Guide.
Can you tell us more about this stamp – it is not clear why it is green. Is it printed on recycled plastic? Carbon offset? I fear it might be a form of green washing…
All USPS stamps are made greener with soy-based inks and nontoxic adhesives. I’ve actually been looking around for a stamp that’s made with recycled material too, but haven’t had much luck. The greenest thing is to not send paper invites for your wedding at all as I note in the guide I linked above: http://www.treehuggingfamily.com/8-green-wedding-guide/, but many still do, and if you’re having a green wedding, this is one way to say so.
