Eco Friendly Weddings: Go Green Wedding Favors

Ann Siper
In the market for some Go Green wedding favors that will encourage and educate your weddings guests? The wedding favors ideas are all earth friend, eco friendly, can help teach family and friends about a Go Green lifestyles, and are all easy to do!

Seed Packets

So, no Go Green wedding favor can be more easy or affordable than fun seed packets. You can buy seed packets for three for a dollar and tie put a few in a small mess bag, tie them shut with a ribbon and add on a note about the great benefits of certain plants on the earth's environment.

Certain plants attract birds, bugs, and even bats, which are all a vital part of the earth's eco system. To create a fun and whimsical theme with your seed packets try to use all types of seeds that are great for a butterfly garden!

Take this one step further and purchase small seedlings form you local home improvement store. They often group their butterfly friendly plants together because butterfly gardens are so popular!

Tips to Go Green at Home

Use your computer to find lists of tips and ways anyone can easily go green at home. Print these out on recycle paper, roll them up and tie them shut with ribbons like a small scroll. These can be passed out at the end of your wedding.

If you feel like this is not enough of a wedding favor, then donate an amount of money to your local favorite Go Green charity, include this donation info on the bottom of the Go Green at Home Tips! You will be happily surprised at how good donating and contributing to a charity will make your wedding guests feel.

High Efficiency Light Bulbs!

This Go Green Wedding Favor may tickle your funny bone at first, but think about the first time you heard about energy efficient light bulbs. You went to check them out and probably could not decide if they were worth the investment. Well, by giving out energy efficient light bulbs as a wedding favor you give all of your wedding guests a change to try these Go Green light bulbs out for free, see how they enjoy them, and hopefully change an entire households habits for the cost of one energy efficient light bulb! No so funny anymore is it?

Try slipping the energy efficient light bulbs in a cute mesh bag. Attach a note explaining why you choose this unusual Go Green wedding favor! Everyone will remember this unique wedding favor the next time they need a light bulb!

Local Fruit and Local Produce Stores

So, buying fruit and produce locally is one of the best way anyone can go green for free. Many local produce stand advertise they are chemical free too! Best of all think of all the gas and huge 18 wheelers not ripping down the highway emitting toxins into the environment that you saved!

Choose fresh fruits that fit the season and package them in a cute recycled brown lunch bag. Fold the top of the brown bag over. Punch two hole and tie shut with the ribbon! I have found some creamy white recycled lunch bags that would work well for a Go Green wedding!
