Wilmington, Delaware (PRWEB) April 30, 2008 -- FineStationery.com (www.finestationery.com), a leading online retailer of luxury personalized social stationery, today announced three easy ways to throw a Mother's Day celebration while selecting products that are better for Mother Earth.

"Many consumers are looking to lessen their negative environmental impact without having to sacrifice quality or convenience," said Karen Gilliland, FineStationery's Chief Marketing Officer. "FineStationery.com's selection of eco-friendly stationery, invitations and partyware provides shoppers with environmentally friendly products for every life event."

FineStationery.com offers the following suggestions for hosting an eco-friendly Mother's Day:

Fabulous Invitations
A simple way to go green with your invitations is to select paper products that use recycled content. FineStationery's elegant Checkerboard invitations are produced on 30 - 60% recycled paper (15% Post Consumer and 15-30% Pre Consumer). Checkerboard uses sophisticated pre-press technology that significantly reduces the waste stream generated by traditional printing methods and adheres to a strict in-plant recycling program.

Soy based inks are another eco-friendly option to consider when selecting your invitations. FineStationery's line from Grey's Greetings are a stylish and contemporary way to celebrate Mother's Day. Printed on 100% recycled paper, the designs on the cards are printed with soy based inks at a facility certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

Terrific Table Tops
FineStationery.com offers partyware with a purpose from Caspari. Their paper is sourced from a supplier that uses wind powered electricity and works closely with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to ensure that their paper fibers come from managed forests. Caspari uses only water based dyes for their napkins and plates and bleaches napkins with oxygen instead of chlorine to eliminate the use of harmful chemicals.

Stylish Stationery Gifts
Thank You Notes and Mom To-Do Lists from Bonnie Marcus Collection make chic and simple stationery gifts that are sure to please - especially when Mom hears that Bonnie Marcus recently increased their environmental efforts. Their stationery line has long been printed on recycled papers and is now printed on recycled paper containing 30% post consumer waste fiber on FSC certified papers. Committed to the environment, Bonnie Marcus' paper is also manufactured using green-e certified renewable wind-generated electricity.

Consideration for the environment is nothing new for many lines from FineStationery.com. Known for their fine papers for over 200 years, Crane & Co. has been aggressive with waste reduction for decades - long before it became fashionable. Crane's luxurious cotton papers are made from 100% recovered cotton fibers which require less chemical treatment and produce far less waste. Select from calling cards, note cards or boxed stationery sets for the ultimate personalized gift.
