Going for a virtual invitation card is a great idea. You can also go with opting for invitations made using recycled paper, upcycled fabric, leather, and even wood.

Similarly, TV actors Rubina and Abhinav opted for a biodegradable wedding invite like Virat-Anushka, made from MDF and recyclable paper. Along with that, they also attached a sapling.

3. Plastic Free Zone

There are a variety of biodegradable materials that you can use instead of plastics for a more environmentally friendly wedding.

Instead go for biodegradable and natural.

5. Eco- Friendly Attire

The actor Milind Soman and wife Ankita Konwar went with organic, handwoven and 100% biodegradable outfits. They even opted for head jewelleries which were made with baby lotuses.
