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.
