Mama & Daddy has planted a tree in honor of Wilhelmina & Eugo

To our beautiful babies – You two are little carbon copies, so alike, yet so different. Together, you make our hearts practically burst with love. Wilhelmina – you are becoming such a sweet & sassy young girl with a mind for justice. Eugo – you are so open & wild with such curiousity. You two catch me delightfully off guard with your intelligence and care for one another. May you also love, tease, and support each other.

Mama & Daddy

Why Paper Culture Plants Trees

  • We’re a paper company: moreso than most, trees are truly our business
  • We ALWAYS use 100% post-consumer recycled paper and/or alternative renewable fibers like cotton or bamboo which means our cards do not result in the cutting down of any new trees, however, that simply means that we do no harm to trees. We wanted to take it one step further by actively contributing to reforestation by planting trees.
  • Honestly, as founders, we knew we wanted to do something on a consistent basis and it was as simple as, we all just love trees!
  • Trees do amazing things - check out our list of tree facts
