Eco Friendly Invitations - The Greenvelope Mission

I strive to deliver the most elegant electronic invitation service by emulating the experience of opening a “traditional” printed invitation. By creating a positive online experience, I hope more hosts will consider sending invitations electronically for formal events – to help save trees, and additionally save time and money. To express my commitment towards this goal, I donate a significant percentage of every sale to Mountains to Sound, a non-profit organization that maintains forests. Together we can "invite" a greener future.

Sam Franklin, Greenvelope Founder

Sam Franklin, Company Founder

I have always been an outdoor enthusiast. Growing up in Seattle provided me the opportunity to experience hiking, biking, fishing, camping – and enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. This love of the outdoors fueled my passion for Greenvelope, my start-up that provides an eco-friendly alternative to "traditional" printed invitations.

Each year, millions of electronic invitations are sent through services cluttered with advertisements. Lacking traditional design choices and desiring to avoid advertisements, most hosts find minimal online options, so consequently order traditional paper invitations. My goal is to fill a void within the landscape of current services by offering a formal, advertisement free web-product appealing to formal events such as weddings or corporate gatherings.
