Start selecting your guests and sending email invitations.

Food and Drinks!

Support your community and buy locally grown organic products produced within 100 miles of your party’s location. Offering a Local Vegan Menu will lead to the lowest in Carbon Food Print. If you are ordering your food online, you can find Vegan and Organic Catering Services here.

Get your guests excited with Eco-friendly cocktails, organic vodka, organic beer, biodynamic wine, and of course…Organic Champagne in recycled glassware!

Decorations

Decorate responsibly! Reduce your paper decorations by opting for alternative (and more creative!) option. For example, food is a wonderful element that can produce little or no waste…and it’s fun. Find decorative elements that you can use and reuse.

Soy Candles made in America are beautiful; they burn clean and are very decorative.

For your Tableware, look for products made from sustainable, biodegradable, compostable or reusable materials.

Keep it simple.

Green News Year Traditions

Many Green News Year traditions involve eating food that will “bring luck,” such as 12 Grapes, Pork, Black Eyed Peas, Lentils and Greens (i.e., collard green, chard). Embrace this tradition by supporting your local farmers and buying organic ingredients, organic fruits and free-range meat!

Green News Year Resolutions!

If you plan to write resolutions for this next year, include some Green ones that aren’t just good for you, but are also good for the environment. And, most importantly, stick to them!
