Ordering Personalized 50Th Anniversary Napkins

By Tammie Caldwell


A lot of people like to use their creativity to create one of a kind products to commemorate a special time or event in their life. Such pieces generally serve a function yet they are also perfectly suited to act as keepsakes or sentimental party favors. When placing an order for 50th anniversary napkins, there are several features that one might opt to customize for ultimate personalization.

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.

The printed inscription, usually consisting of details such as the honorees' names, the date and type of celebration, is a huge part of customization. Other things that might be added or used are monograms, embellishments, symbols or special quotes. Lettering and designs may be done in regular inks or in foils which will provided a bit of metallic shine.

The overall look can be made even more memorable and unique by using special layouts and designs. Some of these are understated like simply adding a logo or symbol above the inscription, while others are rather elaborate and encompass the entire piece. There are numerous ways in which all the available options could be combined to create specialized items.

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.
