@Sarah – good points which is why I recommend digital invites first and recycled or seeded paper too (in other posts). However, some will always want to send something physical and sustainable wood is a pretty unique choice and better than non-recycled paper with toxic inks. I totally agree about the shipping though – it’s gotta cost a ton to send something large like this.

These are pretty and all, but I fail to understand how wood invitations, no matter how sustainably harvested, are better for a “green” wedding than recycled paper. I am cringing thinking about the shipping weight involved in sending the wood to be processed and for it then to be sent to the company to be printed, then mailed to the bride to be addressed and then mailed yet AGAIN to the recipients. While the recipients may toss a paper invite in the recycle bin, I think a lot of people would be dumbfounded about what to do with a wooden invitation, and it’s unrealistic to think every single wedding guest is going to save it as a keepsake. If you’re really concerned about the earth and you have that kind of budget just for invitations, why not just get some recycled paper or seeded paper invites for a lower cost and donate the rest of the money to an environmental organization?
