Bella Figura Sample Sale to Benefit American Forests

SYRACUSE, N.Y., Sept. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bella Figura (www.bellafigura.com) has put their expansive collection of letterpress wedding invitation samples on sale for a limited time, with 100% of sale proceeds being donated to American Forests, the country's oldest citizens' non-profit organization. All of Bella Figura's 300+ samples will be on sale for $1 each (regularly $3), and for every sample purchased, Bella Figura will plant one tree with American Forests. The sale runs from September 17 – 24, and samples can be ordered online. Bella Figura also gives customers the opportunity to plant trees of their own with American Forests when placing sample or invitation orders, and matches their customer's donations. With the help of its customers, Bella Figura has planted nearly 20,000 trees with American Forests since the company was founded in 1999. As a member of 1% For the Planet, Bella Figura also donates 1% of all sales to environmental causes each year.

In addition to providing an easy way for brides and grooms to plant trees, Bella Figura encourages customers to take action in other ways, too. As part of an ongoing promotion, Bella Figura offers free favor card printing for customers who give to nonprofits in lieu of traditional favors. They also provide ideas on their website (such as buying local, selecting in-season flowers, and utilizing reusable decor) for creating an eco-friendly event.

Bella Figura practices and embraces environmental printing, making the print shop an ideal fit for couples planning a green wedding. The line uses 100% tree-free cotton paper made from reclaimed fibers made just for them by a 500-year-old European paper mill. In addition to sourcing tree-free papers, Bella Figura takes important steps to reduce their footprint: they are wind-powered, use eco-friendly inks, solvents, and packaging materials, and recycle everything they can.
