Customizing Guidelines For 50Th Anniversary Napkins

By Tammie Caldwell


When a special occasion approaches, many people want to make it even more memorable by using special items that commemorate the event. These functional pieces can allow the hosts to express their creativity and serve the additional purpose of being keepsakes and favors. There are many options available when ordering specialized products like 50th anniversary napkins or other event specific items.

These paper products are used for both food and beverage purposes, and many people like to keep personalized items as keepsakes of an event. Perhaps one of the biggest inconveniences would be to not have enough of them to serve the needs of all guests throughout the duration of the party. The general rule of thumb to avoid such a situation is to order three per person expected to attend.

This might seem like a task that requires very little effort, but in actuality, multiple option selections may need to be made. Among these details are which sizes would be best, what colors should be used, should the design be embossed, what texture is best and most of all, the customized printing. It is the combination of all of these things that allow one to create a product uniquely their own.

The primary thing that must first be decided is which of the four styles will be required for this particular event. For cocktails, drinks and served appetizers, the 5" beverage product is usually best. Self service and dessert buffets are often better off with the 6.5" luncheon size items set upon them.

More formally served meals are generally paired with the dinner option which has a folded surface area of 8.5" squared for bigger messes or frequent use. A design known as a guest towel provides a specialized look with its 4.5" x 8.5" rectangular paper shape. Certain sites will prepackage bundles which will be made up of a set amount of specific sizes for quick and easy ordering.

Adding printed details such as the names of the ones being honored, the special event and significant date is a key part of any customization job. One might also opt to include embellishments, symbols, monograms and even favorite quotes for a more personal touch. These items can usually be done using traditional inks or the more shimmery foils for bigger impact.

Special designs and layouts are another way to give the paper products a more unique and memorable look. This may be as simple as putting a large symbol in the center and the inscriptions beneath, or as elaborate as a full print that covers the entire surface. The ways in which one might use the various details to create something special are virtually endless.

Choosing whether to have straight, die-cut or rough edges is yet another way to make this type of item look special. Other selections that might need to be made include picking between smooth or coined borders, facial quality or semi-crepe textures, and the paper thickness. It is the process of combining all of these choices that allow the individual to use their creativity to design a beautiful and functional product.
