Eco-wedding idea: Paperless Post

We love it when we learn about something new from one of our brides.  Case in point:  Paperless Post.

Paperless Post is an online invitation service that has an elegant selection of stationery and myriad ways to customize.  Clean and modern in style, it is unlike the Evites and Send-o-matics of the world, and truly has a tactile, high-end stationery feel to it.

We received a Paperless Post invite and were charmed by the paper-meets-online experience:  the email you receive has an image of an envelope (which has your name inscribed on it, natch) and when you click on it, you’re directed to the Paperless Post website where you see an animation of an envelope opening and then the invitation/note/announcement comes sliding out.

It’s not free (150 Paperless Post “stamps” go for $10) but it’s still a great deal and has many of the great qualities of stationery without the hours of stuffing envelopes.  So you can keep it posh but save on postage.

Eco-wedding idea : Save the date video

You’re recently engaged, you’ve picked your date and dream location in France.  Now it’s time to send out the “save the dates”!

There’s no lack of cute independent stationers and interesting materials to use to announce your wedding date – but why not save yourself the postage and hassle of licking envelopes?

A great, eco-friendly way to tell your guests save the date?  Your own personalized save the date video, set to a favorite song.

We at Fête in France are particularly smitten with this idea – and we happen to be in on the best kept secret in Paris for video save the dates.  Curious?  Contact us for more info!
