Saving Green Two Ways

We've debated for a while on whether we want to print out programs or not and we've finally decided against it. We'll be having a framed chalk board set up with the information for guests...sort of like this one:

We may even have one for the buffet menu  as well. We're trying to cut costs as well as cutting the paper waste. How many people do you know actually KEEP the programs from weddings or the menus? I never have...I know, that may or may not make me a bad person. I'm making up for my waste in the past by not wasting in the present.


What do you guys think?...good idea?

A little something extra...

Some couple decide on candle lighting, some on sand pouring, and others on log sawing...we've decided to partake in the love letter box ceremony.

I'll explain it for those of you who have never heard of such a thing...The couple chooses a box [preferably one that will fit two wine glasses, a bottle of wine, and two letters.]. Each writes the other a love letter and they place it in the box along with the glasses and wine, their wedding party [bridesmaids/groomsmen] nail the box shut. If at any time during the marriage the couple hit a exceptionally rocky moment they are to pry open the box, sit together drinking wine and reading their letters to each other.

We  love any excuse to drink wine!
