I got a Greenvelope review for you! In fact, I got 5 Reasons Why Greenvelope is the Best Choice for your Wedding Invitations. Before we start, I wanted to share something special and dear to my heart. As of March 14, I have officially been engaged for a full year. I can’t even believe how time has flown. In case you missed it, you can check out my engagement photos and story here.
Reflecting on that glorious occasion and the fact that I have been in wedding planning mode, got me thinking about my wedding invitations. Alright, I will be honest, my wedding invitation vision was very clear. I knew that I didn’t want to spend on a bunch of wedding invitations, the postage to send it and the entire process of it all.
After all, I love an eco-friendly approach to everything so as soon as I got engaged I knew that I needed a company that match my desire. Plus, sending anything in the physical mail sounds so bland, I want to stand out without breaking the bank. Who is with me? This is why I partnered up with Greenvelope, today I am going to share why I decided to use them and 5 reasons that sealed the deal for me.
5 Reasons Why Greenvelope is the Best Choice for your Wedding Invitations
1. You Save Trees
Although most brides don’t think about this, I do! The ability to reduce the amount of paper that you use during your wedding makes a difference. Just think about it, all the invitations, all the envelopes, the save the dates, the event showers and parties. It can add up! But what if you didn’t have to physically mail every invitation?
With Greenvelope, you don’t need to print anything which means that you are automatically saving trees! Everything you do is electronic so all you need to do is design and send. Plus, Greenvelope even donates a percentage of every sale to a non-profit organization that maintains forests called Mountains to Sound. They are also a member of 1% for the Planet and have an annual partnership with the National Forest Foundation, where during the holiday season every purchase helps plant a tree.
2. You Save Money
If saving trees is not enough of a reason then how do you feel about saving money on your wedding budget? Wedding these days costs a lot of money whether you are planning through a pandemic or not. You still need to put down money to make your wedding day a breeze. So why not save some money by lowering the cost of your wedding invitations.
According to The Knot –Â This Is the National Average Cost of Wedding Invitations and Stationery, the average cost couples spend is around $530. That is including your save the dates, wedding invitations, RSVP cards and even menus, programs and place cards. Not to mention that you still need to get postage as well and that your price can increase simply by the number of guests you are planning on having.
3. Save Time
Your time is precious so why not make life easier for yourself. Wedding planning is already a lot of work especially if you are planning your wedding yourself. There are many decisions that you have to make so why not cut your time down by choosing an easier option.
Instead of the traditional way of choosing your wedding invitations, collecting everyone’s physical addresses, waiting for your order to arrive, sliding cards into envelopes and popping them in the mail. Not to mention, you still have to wait for everyone to receive their invitations and wait for a response back.
You get my point, using Greenvelope, you get to skip straight to creating and sending your cards and have everything you need all in one spot. No more fear of your wedding invitations getting lost in the mail! Plus, you are able to track your invitations and RSVPs all in one spot!
4. You Don’t Need to Be Tech Savy
Greenvelope has an incredible stock of wedding invitation templates that you can use. All you need to do is choose a template, add photos (if you like), type in what you want to say, personalize it to your taste and send your invitations out. We have more emails than physical addresses these days and if you don’t have an email, you can always send your invitation by text. So brilliant!
5. Use Beyond Your Wedding
Even though we are talking about wedding invitations, Greenvelope doesn’t have to stop just there. They have plenty of invitations for any occasion and all aspects of your life from Baby Showers, Housewarming, Graduations to any Virtual/ Remote Event. The list is endless. The bonus is that you will be saving time and money all while saving trees in the process.
Why I love using Greenvelope
The reason why I love using Greenvelope is that you get the same wow factor of opening an envelope. Take my wedding invitations for a moment, when I send them off, our guests will open up using my engagement photo and personalized information to create a stunning moment. If I wanted, I am able to add music, a calendar, a map to my venue, additional photos, a link to our registry, and more.
Since I am having a small wedding and giving my guests access to my ceremony virtually, I am doing two versions of my wedding invitations. This means as much as my invitations will look alike, it is very important that one has the address and the other has a link to my virtual ceremony. This simply makes my life a whole lot easier.
Final Thoughts
Are you thinking about ditching the paper version and going email invitations? Then now is the time to do it! As much as there are paperless options out there, electronic is the most paperless you can get. So what are you waiting for? Try it out for yourself and see that you don’t have to compromise on anything using an electronic invitations version. You get all the perks, continuous compliments and less stress. Try for yourself and tell me what you think!
