There are so many wonderful invitation designers all over the states. However, we strive to show smaller designers here and those that are doing some amazing eco-friendly things! We found this amazing designer on Twitter and we adore everything she does.  Here are few of her samples that are specifically eco-friendly!

Carey, the owner, does a great job of explaining eco-friendly options for her clients.  For example, to save paper in addition to having PCW papers, she makes these fun and original postcards for Save-the-Dates and respond cards.

I love her map options.  I love the look of a classy map!  Some of our clients have done hand-painted maps (which can take FOREVER) or have scanned a map from the venue where the reception will take place.  Doing a combo of the two is the most elegant way to do it in my mind.  Most hand-drawn/painted maps are not drawn to scale and tend to be, well, just cute (meaning not very helpful as far as a map is concerned).  If you are having a lot of out-of-town guests, a map drawn to scale is imperative if you are not providing transportation for them.  Here Carey has a real map and has infused a small element of whimsy along with detailed written out driving instructions.

An invitation designer will do all they can to ensure that every element of your invitation is edited and easy to read.  Carey does a fantastic job and it shows in her examples online and in her communication with me.
