Paul Ollinger Interviews Helen Driscoll on Creating Your Niche in the Marketplace on Dog and Pony from C-Net
In 1995 Helen Driscoll founded the company that became Invitesite, a fine paper company that uses 19th century printing presses. Driscoll discusses how she found innovation in an old-fashioned craft and the unique ways she serves her niche clientele.

Wedding Invitations from sustainable materials are covered by Ideal Bite.
On May 8, InviteSite got a glowing review, published alongside the following tidbit:
Small Changes Add Up: If 10,000 LA Biter-brides send out tree-free invites instead of materials made from trees this year, we'll save nine Big Sur redwoods.

See us at the big wedding show at Paramount Studios July 22, 2007. It was a great way to show off the feel of our invitations to thousands of people. Feel is the one thing pictures can't convey as well as we would like.

Specializing in green wedding invitations for 13 years, Helen Driscoll, founder of the environmentally conscious stationary company InviteSite was into eco-friendly nuptials far before the fad. "A green wedding can be an over-the-top, lush, organic, and sophisticated lifestyle thing," Driscoll says.

"It is actually a fairly complex thing to put together," she adds. For a wedding planner, she recommends Angelica Weihs with Green Weddings. Driscoll's favorite locations are the Southwest Museum, Descanso Gardens, Audubon Center in Debs Park ("It's off the grid and can only handle small numbers of people.") and the Pacific Asia Museum.

For caterers, Driscoll advises to use someone who works with organic food. She recommends Casablanca International Events, who handled the green opening of the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car?"

To carry out the eco-friendly aspects, make sure that your florist only uses organic flowers. To be extra kind to the earth, instead of the regular gift registry, Driscoll notes that you can register for altruistic cuases, including donations to third-world countries.
