Recycling is great for the environment and we should all be doing it (in spite of my title), but reusing is even better. When you can reuse or re-purpose an item, you are not only saving it from the landfills, but you are also saving the expense and energy which would have been expended when you recycle.

If you really want to send out paper invitations, use recycled or handmade paper and use a single sheet. Choose decorations that can be reused or that are made of natural materials and so can be recycled in the garden or compost. If you really need non-breakables, look for the clear polymer drinkware that is 100% recyclable.
