    Just wondering, if anyone besides me, finds the eco-friendly invitations..well....BORING!!!  And very basic looking....and I want COUTURE!!

    I've seen some that are great but to find a comprehensive site has been challenging sooooo I'm going to start my own!! 

    What are some of your favorite eco-friendly paper sites?  If I can help you look for something let me know...I'm happy to help!

    I'm getting my paper from paperandmore.com.  My friends have ordered from here and vouch for it.  They offer several recycled papers, including card stock in many different colors.  Most of the pre-folded recycled products are only available in earth-tones though.

    Direct link to recycled card stock:

    And I'm sad to say my paper will not be eco-friendly.  :(  Maybe I can get recycled envelopes at least.

    I bought the materials to make my invitations here: http://www.formal-invitations.com/

    Most of their paper products are made from 100% post consumer fibers.

    @Jen...Envelopemall.com and LCIpaper.com have recycled envelopes in lots of colors.

    @jhphi...I checked out the site....I LOVE letterpress!!  I like that they offer some "popping" colors too.

    Yep! Everything but my dress should be a nod to eco-friendly measures, since that's so important to me in my everyday life.  We are having an etsy seller do ours who agrees to use recycled paper (soy inks would be an awesome bonus but we haven't found any seller that uses them yet).  Have you checked out invites on etsy?  I love them because the sellers are usually so willing to work with you to get exactly what you want and you can work with them on the price so it's not first-born-selling expensive.
