Last week I received a wedding invitation from one dear friend. It was a lovely one, for sure. The printing was smooth and nice… It’s orange-ish (my favorite color lately :D). And as my friend told me, it was well-concept and designed. But the best part of the invitation for me: the fact that although it’s beautiful; it is still clear, precise, and informational. Nothing too much or wasteful… Unlike those typical pricey-thick-card board-perfumed-wasting tons of wood products-what the hell is it for!-kind of invitation. (He he… So full of rage :D)
One interesting point I got from the whole thing is: the purpose and meaning of an invitation itself.
Not just mere invitation, the shed of paper is a way of showing who the bride, groom, and or their family are; and in some way, their sense of art :D
Some couple designs their invitation really well, and even spends lots of money on it. Some sees it as a rather small part of the whole wedding thing, so it’s not a big thing to fuss about. Either way, it’s each couple’s decision.
Why am I concerned with the whole invitation thingy? Hm, most probably because I’m thinking about one myself :D
So, it kinda made me wonder, why and how my future husband and I are going to create and design our wedding invitation… I think, one bold principle we’re going to hold on is: trying to present it as green as possible…
My plan is… On recycled paper; greenly designed, processed, and delivered; and hopefully most of our guests doesn’t mind receiving it through their e-mails…
Hopefully... Amiin..

My Worries
It's kinda hard to admit that I haven't able to do many of the things I believed and preached.
Not able to cycle more to work.
Still use plastic bags from the mart, though only once in a while (usually when doing unplanned shopping).
Still use paper rather recklessly, though always trying to print on both side.
Still consume foods and stuffs which produce so many garbage and waste.
Still sleeping with my lights on (Yup, I kinda freak out when it's totally dark)
But I think my biggest worry is no longer care that I do want to move to a greener life.
I am worried that one day I'll be neglecting the things that I'm believing now...
