My idea, without meaning to offend you, is that you are off your rocker! There's no such thing as unlucky, unless you make it yourself. Good luck!

Red and White flowers is said to be unlucky as it's supposed to represent Blood and Bandages. I haven't heard anything about napkins though, so if it looks nice then go for it.

Red and white flowers represent blood and bandages, but only in a brides bouquet. I had those colours and my Irish Gran made me swap them about, so i was left with one white and 1 red bouquet. Maybe its just a brirtish thing. Napkins are fine tho i should think. Unless, maybe, its at the wedding breakfast table............... x

I once tried this while having a couple of cannibals round to dinner!! One of them accidentally bit off three of his own fingers,
while the other slipped on a knob of butter and smacked his chin on the edge of the table breaking his jaw and losing a few teeth.
As he got up from the floor he banged his head on the table again which gave him a nice lump. We all saw the funny side of this and laughed all night. I didnt dare mention to them that red and white napkins on the same table may bring bad luck!!

Hello Mrs Bing,
Red and white napkins sound horrible. Can't you just use Ivory or something less expressive than red.

I never heard that about red and white flowers; I doubt it applies to napkins though...

I'm not superstitious.
How can red and white napkins be unlucky? How can ANYTHING be unlucky?? There is no such thing as luck.

I use to work for a florist...and I've never heard of that. But I also don't believe in 'luck' either.
Yes, red and white napkins would be just fine...use them!
