I love to throw a great party. I love the planning, the decorating, the hosting, designing the invitation and finding brilliant party favors. Even talking about it makes me excited to plan the next one. While planning a recent get together I came across green party tips at [the nest]. Some of my favorites:

1. Evites are a must
Skip the pretty paper cards and save a tree or two. We know you love wowing your friends with your invitation creations, but you'll amaze them when they arrive, we promise! Plus the Evite has a great way for you to still be clever with your post. We love uploading funny pictures and choosing pretty designs that even the pickiest guest will love. And be sure to get creative with the reply categories.
2. Use the stuff you've got
You know those dishes, glasses, and place settings you put on your registry but still haven't taken out of the cabinet? Now is the time to bring them out. You'll have to do a little extra cleanup at the end of the night, but isn't reversing global warming worth an extra few minutes?
