Ordering Personalized 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.

How big the items should be is definitely one of the first choices to make, and there are actually four options in this category. At about 5" squared, the beverage size is the smallest and is generally used with cocktails or by servers offering the guests appetizers. The next step up is the luncheon which is about 6.5" squared and is typically used on dessert or self service tables.

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.

A large part of customization is the printed inscription which generally consists of the names of the honorees, the special date, and maybe the reason for the celebration. Some other frequently used options are special quotes, monograms, symbols and embellishments. Printing may be done in either standard inks or in foils for a slightly metallic sparkle.

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.

The product edge, whether raw, straight or die-cut, will be a important to its finished look. A site may also give an individual the option to pick things such as how thick the paper will be, if the texture should be semi-crepe or facial quality, and are smooth borders or coined ones more attractive. Each detail decided will add to the overall appeal and uniqueness of the product being used to represent a special occasion.
