Baptism is an important aspect of your child’s life and should be celebrated with family and friends. But if you’re looking for ways to make your baptism party more sustainable, there are plenty of options available, from decorations to the Philippine baby gift registry items.
Consider the decorations and materials for the party.
Choose decorations that are made from sustainable materials, such as organic cotton fabric, paper, or bamboo. Avoid using plastic-based items such as balloons, straws, and disposable plastic tableware, as these create a large amount of waste that can take hundreds of years to decompose.
Think carefully about the food and drinks you serve.
Opt for locally sourced, organic ingredients whenever possible to reduce your carbon footprint and support local farmers. Avoid single-use items like plastic plates and cups, opting instead for reusable ones or biodegradable alternatives made from cornstarch or sugar cane.
Find ways to reduce waste at your party.
Encourage guests to bring their own containers for leftovers and opt for compostable packaging materials and biodegradable straws rather than plastic. Consider setting up a recycling station with clear signage on the items for each bin. This will help ensure that your party’s waste is properly disposed of and doesn’t end up in landfills.
Choose sustainable items in your gift registry.
Pick sustainable items to include in your baby gift registry. Organic and biodegradable baby wipes, organizers made with locally sourced materials, and bags made of organic and recycled materials have better quality and help create a better environment for your child.
By making a few simple changes, you can throw a memorable baptism celebration and have a Philippine baby gift registry that also happens to be eco-friendly. Start planning today!
