5. Are favors really necessary?

The last thing you want to think about after all of this planning and saving is wedding favors. Favors are no longer a necessity or expected, so why not make an even bigger impact? Donate the money you would have spent on favors to your favorite charity. The I Do Foundation is the perfect place to do this! You can remember loved ones or celebrate your community with a donation. Display the charity on your entrance table and encourage guests to donate in lieu of gifts.

There are so many more great ways to go green on your wedding day other than the ones mentioned, so remember that any difference is a big difference!
