The Knot Pledges to Support Crucial Forest Restoration With Every Order of The Knot Invitations

For Every Order of The Knot Invitations Placed, The Knot will Plant a Tree in Partnership with American Forests, Enabling Couples to Give Back to the Communities Impacted by Wildfires

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In an effort to support the restoration of crucial forests destroyed in wildfires, The Knot—a leading wedding planning and registry resource—today announced the Plus One campaign within the recently launched The Knot Invitations marketplace. Working together with American Forests, the leader in creating healthy and resilient forests across the country, The Knot pledges to plant a tree in an area of crucial need with every purchase order of The Knot Invitations. Using sustainably forested paper, The Knot Invitations allows couples to customize beautifully designed save-the-dates, invitations, menus, thank-you cards and much more.

“With more than 4 million acres of land burned this year on the West Coast alone, we wanted to find a way to help repair the destruction of these devastating wildfires and others across the US,” said Dhanusha Sivajee, Chief Marketing Officer of The Knot Worldwide. “Our Plus One invitations campaign aims to support the forest restoration process, while providing the increasing number of couples who want to give back through their weddings the opportunity to help impacted communities.”

For nearly 145 years, American Forests has been a leader in creating healthy and resilient forests that deliver essential benefits for climate, people, water and wildlife. The organization works tirelessly in its efforts to grow forests, planting more than 50 million trees since 1990 in all 50 states and nearly 50 countries. In working together with American Forests, The Knot Invitations’ Plus One campaign will contribute to its overarching goal of planting 100 million trees across the US by 2030.
