Using this service, guests gave us a night at the first green hotel in New York (Greenhouse 26), art classes, salsa lessons and a piece of work by Kevin Kutz, among other things. We also set up a registry with the I Do Foundation, so that when guests did buy us tangible gifts a portion went to support the causes of our choice.

Compostable Dishes
Another thing Joshua Houdek and Kristi Papenfuss did was to cater their meal with compostable dishes, like the ones available from Stalkmarket which are made from bagasse - a sugar cane processing "leftover" - making them a compostable, biodegradable and recycled product. Because bagasse is so durable, the plates do not have to be coated in polyethlene (common with wood-pulp paper products), which is an added benefit. The fewer chemicals the better!
