Fun, Cutesy Invites by Something Green

I first met Corinne Leroux at the Grassroots Wedding Fair. She is this sweet smiley girl who has a passion for all things green. Something Green, a wedding invitation company started by Jahzel Misner and herself, offers wedding invites that are definitely out of the ordinary. They are fun and original designs that are for those couples who want to make a statement. The following is an interview I recently had with Corinne.

What is your name?

Corinne Leroux & Jahzel Misner

What are some things about you?

Jahzel & I are both graphic designers and we went to university together. We’re both artsy. Jahzel loves to paint & draw. I am more crafty – Knitting and creating Stained Glass windows are just a couple of my hobbies. We try to use environmentally friendly products in our daily lives, and this has influenced our business practices as well.

What inspired you to start Something Green?

A lot of our friends were getting married, and some of them had asked me to design their wedding invitations. I thought it might be a good business opportunity, so I asked Jahzel if she would be interested in started a company with me. We worked together a lot during university, and she jumped on the idea. Initially we were thinking of having two product lines, one with regular paper, and one on recycled paper, but we decided to just be completely environmentally friendly.

What makes Something Green “green”?

Our cards are printed on 100% recycled paper that is 50% Post-consumer waste and is FSC certified. The inks are wax-based, organic, and biodegradable. We also try and used eco-friendly products in our trade shows and our office supplies. Anything from bamboo table cloths to biodegradable pens.



How would you describe the style of your invites?

They’re not your typical traditional wedding invitations. They’re fun, cutesy and out of the ordinary. Our designs range anywhere from flowery cards to video game inspired cards.

What kind of service can someone expect from Something Green?

We have excellent customer service. Most communication is email based, and once an order is placed, we work directly with our clients until their order is approved. Once it has been printed, delivery takes 2 to 3 weeks, depending on location.

Is there anything else you would like to share?

Although we don’t do custom designed cards, we’re always looking for new ideas. If you have a suggestion of something you’d like to see, let us know, and we’ll see what we can come up with.
