You usually order your personalized guest towels at the same time you order your personalized napkins for the big day’s reception.

Try to place personalized napkins and guest towels in and around displays for convenience and effect.

Where has the summer gone? It seemed like last week I finally put away my snow shovel and dusted off my garden trowel. My summer sandals haven’t been broken in yet. Now it is time to plan for those big holiday parties. I really do enjoy hosting the big ones: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and even the Super Bowl. But was walking down the streets, enjoying the weather, and doing some storefront shopping, and I see that a store had put up their Halloween products.
You bet I stopped in my tracks.
Not because I had to roll my eyes at the unseen store manager wanting to get a head start. It was because the season will be on us fast, and I have some planning to do. Purchase the tablemats, research the party games, and build the list of guests to come. Even begin the arduous task of pulling out the decorations to make sure last year’s party wasn’t wild enough to damage the dancing ghost I always put up.
But there is something I always have to replace every year: Personalized napkins with the current year and a Halloween graphic. I also have to plan on creating my personalized invitations according to the theme of the party. Yeah…..I go all out. But it doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg. That is why I love personalized napkins. They are affordable, fun, and disposable. Perfect for any party you are planning.
Before you know it, Aunt Margaret will be calling you, wondering how much stuffing she should be bringing to the Thanksgiving party. So, if you are a big planner for parties; like ME, then you are going to have to get your schedule together soon. The seasons will be on us soon, and Santa Claus will want to use your Personalized Holiday Napkins to clean off the milk from his beard.

Wow!! It’s been fifty years! And you are as still in love as ever! A 50th wedding anniversary is enough for any couple to be proud of. You want to make your anniversary special! You want to set it apart from your other anniversaries! How do you start off the celebration? How do you announce such an extraordinary event? What do you say? How do you pick the right anniversary announcement? Well, there are a variety of elegant possibilities just right for your momentous anniversary.
This milestone event in your life can be just as expressive as your married life has been. There is so much history in the 50 years you’ve been together. It may be a good idea to start at the beginning: include in your anniversary announcement when and where you got married. Another way of showing the history between you two is to include a picture of you from then and now. You could also add a family verse or phrase that is important to you.
There are many ways to customize your anniversary announcement. Think of the theme of your celebration: is it going to be a formal black tie affair or is it going to be a casual party with your family and friends? In the case of a formal affair, you might want to use a card with a light color stock such as white or a light pastel and a flowing script text. If the theme is a casual one, you could choose bright bold colors such as green and blue with a nice solid text. Just make sure that any announcement you pick is tailored to you and your tastes, incorporating the theme of the celebration.
One way of accenting the theme of your 50th anniversary celebration is with personalized napkins. The napkins can be monogrammed with your initials or have your names on them. A distinct idea might be to connect your anniversary announcement and the personalized napkins by having a verse or family phrase printed on both. To further the idea of connecting the theme of your anniversary, you can have your personalized announcements and napkins both the same color.
No matter what the theme of your anniversary, remember that your 50th anniversary is going to be a romantic occasion for all to remember. It’s about celebrating the love that you two share. It’s about all the good times you have enjoyed and bad times that you triumphed through. The joy of a lifetime together is one to be cherished and celebrated. We here at InvitePapers.com congratulate you and wish you many more years of exquisite memories.

There are all kinds of events in life: having a baby, getting married, anniversaries, birthdays, and fundraisers to name a few. Save the date announcements are a good, personal way of keeping people informed of what events are coming up.
Save the date announcements are commonly used for weddings, but they can be used for so many other events. For instance, when my wife and I found out we were going to have a child, we used a personalized save the date card with the baby’s due date as an announcement. I discovered another use for save the date cards after I attended a charity fundraiser. I received a personalized invitation card a few months later saving the date for the next year. A third example is when my parents had their 30th wedding anniversary. I sent a save the date card for the celebration a year ahead of time. There are a variety of situations that you can creatively use a save the date card.
You may ask yourself, “Why use a save the date card?” Save the date cards act as a ‘pre-invitation’ as well as announce the event. Personalized announcements can set off the tone for the event. If it is a light-hearted event, you can customize the card by using bright colors. If it is a more formal event, you can have more even toned colors with elegant cursive writing. You can have use a forest green eco-friendly card if you are throwing an Earth Day fundraiser. If you are going to have a destination wedding, you can have a picture of the place you are going. A pair of my friends had their wedding in Tokyo, Japan. So, they had a picture of a kimono in the background of the card. When I entered my senior year of college, my parents had sent out save the date cards shaped like graduation caps to all my relatives, just to remind them I was graduating.
Another reason for a save the date announcement is to make sure that your guests are free for the event. I had the unfortunate luck to have made an appointment near one of my best friend’s birthday and had to miss their 30th birthday celebration. If he had only sent a Save the Date card in advance I, along with a couple of other friends, would not have needed to miss the party.
No matter what the occasion, if you don’t have guests you can’t have the event. Save the date personalized invitations are an easy way of ensuring the guests know the date of your event. Since they received the invitation so far in advance, you are more than likely making sure that the guests will attend your function. Prepare ahead of time: send save the date cards, and you won’t have to worry about people forgetting your event.

I love weddings. I love everything about them: the chapel, the reception hall, the guests, the food, the music, the decorations and the reception. I don’t think there is anything better when two people love each other enough to commit. I have been to my share of weddings. And I have to admit I tend to compare them. Over the years, I’ve noticed one thing that is often over looked. That one thing that sets an ordinary wedding from becoming an elegant celebration of love is the napkins.
You might think that the napkins aren’t an important part of the wedding. But from what I have observed, personalizing the napkins to your wedding makes the difference between ordinary and unique. Wedding napkins serve an important function from the moment guests arrive at the reception hall until they leave. Personalized napkins will be required at every aspect of the reception. From drinks to cake serving, you will want your special touch for your guests to experience. The best wedding I was ever at as a guest had wedding napkins for every stage of the reception.
This wedding had cocktail napkins used at the refreshment bar, hors devours table, and cake table. They had a short message printed on cocktail and beverage napkins. It said “Thank You for Sharing Our Day” along with the bride and groom’s names and wedding date.
The dinner napkins were folded around the silverware, secured with a decorative napkin ring, and placed directly at the dinner table place settings. When I opened the napkin, it revealed an elegant three-letter monogram printed on the center. I thought that little touch of revealing the monogram added a unique air of sophistication to their wedding.
Another addition that I noticed was that monogrammed guest towels were used in the bathrooms for guests to dry their hands. Normally paper towels are available in public and rented halls, but in using personalized guest towels, they made the family and friends feel like nobility.
I also remember how they used the personalized napkins at their rehearsal dinner. They used luncheon napkins for their buffet. The luncheon napkins were in three colors, to match their wedding motif, and were stacked in a ‘swirled’ fashion at the beginning of the buffet line. They used the same monogram that was used in the reception but added a catchy phrase that I found entertaining. It was like a preview of the next day’s festivity.
This wedding was one that I’ll always remember. The detail that the bridal couple went into for their guests was amazing. They understood how personalized napkins made a difference in their wedding. All the guests liked the reception, but I remember they kept mentioning how nice the napkins were. It was a fun wedding.

I went to a wedding last weekend in Minneapolis. As a critic of invitations, personalized stationery, and personalized napkins, I found myself in the role of participant and observer. Oh, the wedding was my nephew’s. Back to the subject – he’s twenty-nine and the bride is twenty-something.
 Their invitations were nicely crafted, possibly made on their pc. The invitations included a nice color theme – an aqua blue that was featured in the typography and the paper choice. The motif was two birds, facing each other. Wow, this is starting to sound boring ! Let’s get onto the weekend events:
Friday night was rehearsal dinner, Saturday afternoon was the wedding. The reception was at 5:00 pm and there was a brunch on Sunday morning. A complete weekend, indeed. Let’s start with the rehearsal dinner. It was at an ornate Italian-themed pasta restaurant very close to the University of Minnesota campus. I’m so sorry, I cannot remember the name of it or I would give a plug – it was a little ragged around the edges, but in a surprisingly good way – in other words – it was old and spacious with plenty of character. There were at least fifty guests, maybe sixty or seventy – a large rehearsal dinner by my standards. But, I see that this has been a trend. Is it possible that rehearsal dinners could sometime rival the wedding reception itself ?
The wedding was in a modern church with a western wall that was all glass or nearly so. Music during the service was simple. There was a grand piano with a classical pianist and beautiful music was the order of the day. Die Traumeri by Schumann was dreamy (of course) and reverberated nicely off the modern hard-edged walls.
The reception was held on the campus of the University in an ultramodern hall in the Campus Alumni building. If you’re ever on the campus and have a chance to see this building, and hopefully, enter it, I recommend this – the space is asymetical and suprising in its use of materials, edges, and flat planes. This hall was a large cube with a very high ceiling. With 150 or 200 attendees, everyone fit nicely. The buffet dinner was wonderful. The DJ did a great job. Everyone danced. What an evening !
All in all, it was a nicely planned wedding with a nice progression of events and excellent attention to detail.
