Planet-friendly shopping list for party prep

Go green & party on

We may not be saving the world (or are we?), but we sure are looking to do our part in saving the planet. Whether we’re celebrating large milestones or casual get-togethers, opting for eco-friendly products when planning does make a difference. Here are our top recommendations for sustainable products to go green while still keeping your gathering good as gold.

Save the planet… and your wallet. Check out Member Perks for ways to spend less, while enjoying more.

Spend Less; Utilize More

When it comes down to it, we most likely have plenty of items around our homes that we can repurpose to decorate and amp up the atmosphere. We’re all about making use of the things we already have, rather than buying, when we can make it work.

Ideas for decorating with what you have, from the Partytrick library:

DIY Potted Herbs: Using just the pretty potted herbs you already have and some (recycled!) brown bags.
Arrange Flowers: Crafting a centerpiece really doesn’t need to be difficult.
Make Easy Backdrops: Twinkle lights, books, plants, and vases at your fingertips.
Tie Ribbons on Napkins: Seal every place setting with a bow.
Dinner Table on a Budget: A great go-to for any occasion.

Pro Tip: When in doubt, you can always save by using less. Aka, Use What You Have At Home.

Plant-Based Paper Towels

We all love a quality, durable paper towel that gets the job done in one wipe. What we don’t love so much: throwing those paper towels away so frivolously. Which is where Repurpose comes in. Entirely non-toxic and completely sustainable green products that really do work. With product lines from tableware to kitchen and bath, give these bamboo, 100% FSC-Certified goods a try.

Compostable Trash Bags

We throw them away left and right, why not choose ones that are eco-friendly when we dispose of them? And hey, why not pick up some sustainable bags of all types (sandwich, produce, shopping, even pet waste), trendy square plates, and food containers while you’re at it?
