Cocktail Napkin Holders - Practical And Whimsical

Of course you can just lay out cocktail napkins at the bar for your next party, but why not provide an elegant and unique cocktail napkin holder instead? Cocktail napkins are usually about five square inches and you can find holders this size as well. They can be a simple basket or made of more expensive materials such as silver, pewter, wrought iron or antique brass. Cocktail napkin holders can be either flat or vertical, but most people find that it is easier to take a napkin out of one that lays the napkins flat. If you are having an outdoor party, you may want to use a square cocktail napkin holder with a swing bar on top. This way the napkins will not blow away and you simply lift the bar to take a napkin out.

If you are planning a very special event such as a wedding reception for a large number of people, think about buying a matching set of a cocktail napkin holder, guest towel holder and coaster holder. Made of acrylic, these can be found on www.myweddingreceptionideas.com. Cocktail napkin holders with personalized printed napkins make a great hostess gift as well.

Cocktail napkin holders can help accentuate a party theme. If you are throwing a summer party at your beach house, you can buy napkin holders that look like little beach chairs or Adirondack chairs. Cocktail napkin holders for a garden party show lovely scrolls of petals finished in any type of metal.

You can find cocktail napkin holders on the Web or at any store selling housewares. Prices range from a few dollars to over a hundred dollars depending upon the materials they are made from.
