When you consider airline flights, outfits, presents, food, etc., any reductions or smarter decisions can greatly lessen your impact. The websites below offer some tips and/or ideas to consider. Also consider having guests donate money to your favorite charity, instead of buying gifts that you probably don't really need.  Changing the Presents - Donation alternatives to gifts  Planet Green - How to Go Green: Weddings  JustGive.org - Charity Gift Giving Easy Scale: [6] (1-10 scale, 1 = Difficult and costly, 10 = simple and no cost or little effort) Impact Scale: [4] (1-5 scale, 1 = Minor but worthwhile, 5 = Strong impact on environment) Category: Holidays User Comments  We went super-cheap on our wedding: no guests, one notary ($100), marriage license ($100), nearby chapel (used back area near beach, no cost), no rentals or dresses (used clothing we already had), wedding and engagement rings ($500), no gifts asked for (or received), and no party (except a small cake for $5). Doesn't work for everyone, but we were very happy with it... hbomb7 - 7/4/2009 2:51:36 PM    Going green on your wedding day is simple which equals Less Stress. That's a major bonus in my book.

My favorite is using pages out of a magazine to make envelopes. I've also used old posters and calenders to wrap presents.
