If Nothing Else...

Does the thought of planning a party bring you to tears? Cry if you want to, but then stop, 'cause help putting it together is right here. Let this happen to you: stylish, tree-free invites; vintage punch bowls (and ideas for filling it) and reusable decorations; and delicious organic recipes, plus some of Ideal Bite's classic Cocktail Facts to spark up conversation.

If Nothing Else, Try This...

Don't go postal spreading the word - try sending e-invites (who has their friends home addresses in one place anyway?). Guests'll get the news right away and can RSVP instantly; you'll save a few trees; and just think: no need for ink, envelopes, stamps, or an out-of-the-way trip to the post office - plus, they're free. Some e-invites even have ways to manage your party list, send reminders, and update details to keep you sane.
Stat: If 10,000 Biters send 10 e-invites instead of paper invites, we'll keep more than 12 trees standing.
