Selecting your Wedding Napkins

There are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding reception. From choosing the flavor of the cake, to picking the location, most brides-to-be want their wedding reception to be an unforgettable experience.

So when it comes to choosing the wedding napkins, many brides-to-be may consider them to be insignificant; however, when it comes to the reception, even the most minor details can have an impact. This is especially true when you consider that wedding napkins are something almost every guest will use. So where do you begin in finding the right wedding napkins for you? This article is to serve as a step-by-step guide in helping you choose.

Paper or Cloth

First you must decide between paper and cloth. Cloth wedding napkins portray a touch of elegance; however they can sometimes be expensive and offer very little in the way of personalization. Typically, cloth napkins can be rented and are often included in a package set up by the caterer.

Paper napkins are usually less expensive - starting at around $.10 for the most basic. Because paper is being used, the napkins can be imprinted with just about anything, leaving a lot of freedom for personalization and creativity.

Color

The most basic color choice for wedding napkins is, of course, white. However, if you do choose a neutral tone, consider a pearl tone or creamy ecru. If you want more color, decide what colors are being used in the overall theme of the event. One popular choice is to coordinate the napkins to the floral arrangements or to the colors being worn by the bride's maids.

Personalization

Printing a message or image on your is an easy way to personalize your event. In addition, printed napkins often become a memorable keepsake of the event. One popular choice is to print the first names of the bride and groom along with the date and location of the wedding on the napkins. You can also add a distinctive border or a small image like wedding bells. Font selection and color are also important when choosing the design. Gold or silver inks are popular and can add a touch of unexpected elegance.

Another way to personalize your napkins is to bind them inside a pretty napkin ring, or to tie them with decorative ribbon or flowers. Or you can try a unique fold for an unexpected twist.

So no matter what you decide, don't be scared to experiment! And remember your wedding napkins can express all that is wonderful and unique of your special day!
