Once You Have Sufficient Supplies, Build Your Card

Open MS Word and open a new document, clicking on the template for a greeting card, the Memorial card template. Delete out the second page items for the deceased. Insert your best green Earth picture into the frame for the obituary details. Fill out the details for the party time, date, etc. Print on your eco-friendly card supplies using your printer with eco-friendly ink.

Next, turn the paper over and make ready to reprint the invitations.

Use the same template, to build the back side of the card. This time replace the obituary details with a map of your favorite Earth friendly place to hike. If you know of any places where the dirt has been torn up, ask guests to bring wild flower seeds or a place that needs trees, trees starts. In place of the details for party time etc, build a suggested to bring list of your favorite Earth Day meals. Celebrate the Earth with the best salads. Suggest every kind of green you can think of as pot luck items that are freezable. When your list is complete, print it on the back side.

Now that you have your party planned, and invitations designed, have a wonderful Earth Day and appreciate the fresh air, green anywhere it shows up and have fun! Be sure to pack out whatever you pack in on a trail!
