How to Go Green: Wedding Engagement
We've already talked a lot about how to green your dating life and how to green your wedding, but what about that time in between—your engagement? The average couple these days spends 15 months being engaged, which means more than a year of parties, planning, and wedding preparation (and, possibly, more champagne than you've ever had before).
But alongside the smaller decisions—like whether your guests would prefer pigs in a blanket or stuffed mushrooms at the cocktail hour—you'll be making bigger decisions, too, that impact the environment long after you've wrapped up the extra cake and preserved your dress. Keeping your guest list small, sending engagement announcements on recycled paper, choosing an eco-friendly ring, and adding green items to your registry all help you keep the after-effects of your big day under control—but there's also no better time to sit down with your fiance and discuss your green goals for the future.
Read on for more advice, ideas, and musts for a green engagement.
