What are sustainable weddings?

A sustainable wedding is a party that takes care of the planet while you have fun celebrating your love.

Imagine you're having a big birthday party, and instead of throwing away all the decorations, you use things you can reuse or recycle. That's kind of like what happens at a sustainable wedding, people try to do things in ways that don't hurt the Earth.

At a normal wedding, sometimes they use lots of paper for invitations, plastic cups, and even throw away food after the party. But at a sustainable wedding, they might send digital invites instead of paper ones, use glasses you can reuse, or even have food that gets shared with people who need it.

Think of it like this: if you're playing with your friends and you all share the same set of toys, you don’t need extra toys for everyone. That way, no one feels left out, and there’s less stuff to clean up later. At a sustainable wedding, people are sharing, not just toys, but also love and care for the planet.
