Fuck trees.

I attended a wedding this weekend and returning home today I found an invitation to another. Now, I’m no environmentalist which is clearly demonstrated by my almost pathological unwillingness to recycle (fuck da erf), but can we talk about how much paper is WASTED in wedding invitations? Don’t get me wrong, they are often beautiful and as digital as I am I do appreciate a good stock of stationery. But an envelope inside an envelope with another envelope? How much money and paper is wasted on the ettiqutte version of I N C E P T I O N?

My wedding invitation will be one postcard. The front will be a picture of me and the groom doing something awesome (dancing, eating tacos, skydiving…okay not that one, shooting dice in an alley) with the words “Wedding. Us. [the date]. [The place].” On the back will be “You coming?” The postcard will be prestamped and addressed back to me. Done and done.

I mean I really don’t want paper invites at all - just a link in an email to a sick ass website but I can’t get too 3008 on my family…
