Bridal showers, pre-wedding day parties and engagement announcement gatherings all create an environment for the use of plastic forks, knives, spoons and plates. But if the bride and groom are serious about preserving and protecting the earth, their families and friends who host these events should respect the couple’s feelings and try to do their part to contribute to a green wedding.
