If you got an official invitation to attend President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration, what you have was made by an Alpharetta paper company.Neenah Paper manufactured a million invitations for next week's event.Neenah made the invites for outgoing President George W. Bush and his father George H.W. Bush. So, Obama's Presidential Inauguration Committee knew where to go for theirs. And Obama's invitations look the same, even though they're not. Neenah's design director Thom Wright says these are green.
WRIGHT: "That means all the fiber that has been used to make up this particular paper has already been used by a consumer in the marketplace, has been brought back, de-inked and recycled and made into paper again."Wright says it's the first time Presidential invitations have been made with recycled paper. He says it goes along with Obama's theme of change.It's also the first acid free invitation meaning they'll last over time.
