SIGN-UP FOR DAILY TIPS

If 10,000 LA Biter-brides send out tree-free invites instead of materials made from trees this year, we'll save nine Big Sur redwoods.

"The Invitations" episode of Seinfeld (in which George's fiancé dies from licking toxic wedding invites) was pulled from syndication during the 2001 anthrax attacks.

Here Comes the Invite

The Bite

Wanna have and hold (and send) stylish invitations? Then say "I do" to Invitesite, the maker of unique paper designs that range from elegant to whimsical. We're partial to the flora and fauna varieties, especially the Cosmo, a very orange invite with a pressed flower on it (see photo). The Pasadena-based company specializes in DIY kits that you can print on your desktop computer, but if crafty's not for you, try its custom letterpress or offset printing, which uses vegetable-based inks and high-quality, tree-free 100% post-consumer recycled papers. It also caters to thrifty peeps, so you can stash that cash for more important things (like that host bar for your guests). You may now...seal the envelope.

Wanna Try?

Invitesite, 450 S. Raymond Ave., Pasadena (626-793-4600). Cosmo invitations, $2.90/each (when you order 100-149 cards and envelopes).
