Vintage Budget Eco Bride

 If you like big napkins, and like colors,  Mayan Cotton Napkins are a good choice for putting on your registry.  Available in green, blue, and yellow, you can mix and match or get all one color.  Use embroidery or fabric paint to decorate if you wish (or ask that whoever purchases them for you to do so), or leave them plain.  The napkins are fairly traded from Guatemala, and available through the Unity Fair Trade Marketplace.  Browse the rest of the website for other great fair trade items to put on your registry.

When registering for wedding gifts, why not register for something that is both eco-friendly and vintage?  Cloth napkins are reusable, and in many time periods were the only napkins available.

Register for plain cloth napkins, and you can add your own designs to them with fabric paint and stencils, or with embroidery.  Use a different design for each napkin so that each of you will know which napkin is yours, and guests will be able to tell their napkins apart.

If you are not particularly crafty, use the Alternative Gift Registry to link to the napkins you want, and ask that one of your guests with craft skills design them for you.

There are also many napkins that already have adorable designs on them that you can also include on your registry.

Click any of the links for examples.
