Nowadays people spend crores of rupees in marriages blindly. From the wedding venue to the decoration and how to make the food the best and the best, everyone pays attention to it. Not only this, people also spend lakhs in a unique wedding card without thinking. But no matter how expensive the card is, what is it used for after marriage? We don’t need to tell this.
Some cards go to the junkyard and some go to the trash can. But today we are going to show you a great and unique form of wedding card. Shivabhai, who lives in Uchedi village of Bhavnagar district of Gujarat, got a card made in the marriage of his son and daughter, which would also work for environmental protection after use.
For this he took the help of one of his friend Narendrabhai Faldu. Narendrabhai is a nature lover. With his advice, he has made a unique wedding card, which after use can become a bird’s nest.
When 45-year-old Shivabhai Gohil fixed the wedding date of his son Jayesh, he wanted everyone to remember the occasion in a special way. Because on this day his daughter was also to be married. Speaking to The Better India, Shivabhai says, “Our entire family loves birds and we already have several nests in our house. We make nests out of mud and wood and keep them at home. When I spoke to my son about making such a card, he too was overjoyed.”
Jayesh got this unique wedding card printed for himself and his sister’s wedding from a printing press in Rajkot. The purpose behind designing such a unique wedding card was to create awareness among people about the environment.
After marriage, if even half the guests have made a nest from it and kept it in a safe place, then many birds will get shelter.
We really liked his idea, what do you think?
