That said, we have set up a few registries. Of course, all gifts are lovely, whether we registered for them or not.
1. Our Kiva Lending Team!
Kiva is a non-profit website that allows you to lend to a specific low-income entrepreneur across the globe. Here is how to loan through our team:
1) Click on the link above, click "Join Team" and then register with Kiva. Once you register, you'll see that you have joined our wedding team.
2) Click on the "Lend" tab. You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay the loan, you get your money back.
3) Once you pick who to lend to, when you check out Kiva will give you the option to add this loan to count toward "Natalie and Eric's Wedding Team." The loan is still yours, and repayments still come to you - but the loan will show up in our team's collective portfolio, so our team's overall impact will grow!
*If you would rather not become a lender yourself, a Kiva gift card would be a much-appreciated gift.
*Update: In honor of Earth Day, Kiva is offering Green Loans! Now you can help entrepreneurs and the planet in one fell swoop!

2. Bed, Bath, and Beyond
You know the drill. Household goodies and such.
3. Crate and Barrel.
See above.
4. The Green Bride Guide
Environmentally-friendly and fair-trade items. They call them "eco-fabulous," which is a bit goofy, but there are some fun things on this site! All the shipping from this registry is offset with an investment in renewable energy projects, at no additional cost.
