For a celebration that looks like it was planned to perfection, use napkins to create a truly polished look! We’ve come up with a few clever ways to use napkins in your place settings. Remember, you can personalize your napkins with names, dates and designs. Guests are sure to be impressed by your amazing attention to detail.

 1. Wrap your napkins into a cone to use for treats like popcorn, mixed nuts or candy. All you have to do is wrap two opposite corners of the napkin together, staple twice or tie with ribbon and you have an adorable pouch for treats. Guests will appreciate a quick snack that’s simple to eat and carry.

2. Dress up your place settings by wrapping a napkin around your silverware. This is especially adorable if you have a particular party theme and want the napkin’s design to really pop out.

3. Fold your napkins into a cone shape and place them inside champagne flutes next to each place setting. Colorful and personalized napkins are a great way to dress up plain glass flutes for special occasions.

4. Be creative! Wrap a paper napkin over a cloth napkin to give your table more color and style. This green, personalized napkin coordinates beautifully with the red cloth napkin, creating a festive look for the holidays. You can mix and match any number of colors to get this look for any celebration.

Napkins come in cocktail size (5" x 5") for beverages and dinner size (6 ½" x 6 ½") for a traditional meal napkin. So be sure to order the right size for your occasion. Or, order both — place cocktail napkins near the drinks and dinner napkins at the table. You can do any number of color combinations and placement options with napkins! Try out our ideas or come up with your own and see what works best for you.
