I would like to introduce a new service that takes Green to a new level

 Sam Franklin, owner of Greenvelope writes:

The recession has made it difficult for newlywed couples to send expensive paper wedding invitations. In July, Greenvelope LLC will officially launch a “formal” online invitation service, that provides couples an alternative to expensive paper. This service allows couples to send customized wedding invitations to their guests via email with the click of a button. Take advantage of Internet technology by creating guest lists, designing your invitation, and tracking response’s all electronically. Paperless invitations are an easy start to a green wedding.

While one does not open his or her physical mailbox to receive an e-invitation, Greenvelope preserves the hands-on feel by taking advantage of cutting-edge animation technology. Guests receive a virtual envelope – addressed with calligraphy – in their email inbox. After prompted to click, the envelope gracefully opens revealing the invitation components. Franklin states, “We want to imitate the real experience of opening a physical envelope.”

Greenvelope’s CEO, Sam Franklin states, “Greenvelope prides itself on a revolutionary experience. There is no other invitation company that combines technology, design, and environmental concern in such an efficient manner. Many couples are ready for the switch to digital!”

Until Greenvelope, couples had very few options for sending formal online invitations. Most online invitation services are free, but the advertisements overwhelm these invitations. Greenvelope charges a relatively small fee, but in exchange offers an advertisement free product. By providing customers an environmentally friendly service to customize and send formal electronic wedding invitations, Greenvelope strives to fill a current void in invitation technology.

Greenvelope “places a strong importance on recognizing and responding to each customer’s effort to help the environment.” For each invitation package ordered, Greenvelope donates ten dollars to Mountains To Sound Greenway, a local non-profit organization geared towards cleaning local trails. In the near future, customers will be able to read about and choose where they would like to donate, from several environmentally conscious non-profit organizations that share Greenvelope’s goals and values.

There are other advantages to sending electronic invitations instead of paper, aside from cost and the environment. For example, electronic invitations are far less time consuming. Compiling a guest list electronically is simple, as one can upload bulk contacts from an email server to get started. As guests RSVP, the guest list will automatically update with the lasted response information. To finish the wedding strong, the hosts even have the option of personalizing an electronic thank you note for each guest. The Greenvelope staff will be available to ensure their service is enjoyable from beginning to end.

Please contact sam@greenvelope with any questions and thoughts. The website is in BETA at the moment, so any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
