Weddings are a special occasion that the beloved couple and their friends like to remember long after the event has passed. There are many ways of doing this: photographs, videos, mementos and other keepsakes which may remain for years in the armor to serve as a reminder of the special day when the couple became legally joined in holy matrimony.
Many brides and their relatives enjoy making keepsakes with netted bags, silk roses, ribbons printed up with both the bride and groom’s name, and of course, and the date of the wedding. We all know that time passes by very quickly, and it can seem like yesterday that a couple was wed when in actuality more than a year has already passed.
These mementoes help recall the beautiful day and also remind the guests of the couple’s anniversary. The reason for calling guests to a wedding was traditionally to help support the couple in times of need to always stay true to one another and never forget the vows that they made on their wedding day.
Another great personal touch is the impregnation of wedding napkins in a nice swirly, attractive motif. The most common message is the name of the bride, then the groom (as is traditionally considered more appropriate), and the date of their wedding. Usually, this detail is printed up in the corner, making a traditional triangular look when folded decoratively and presented attractively at the table.
The wedding party likes this touch because wedding napkins are always required! The feast at the reception will require many such napkins. Double the supply are usually printed up, first of all, because printing costs have gone down with modern technology, and secondly, because the majority of guests will use one and save one or two as a keepsake, which is the reason why they were printed up in the first place.
Simple is usually best, and many brides follow a color theme which will be reflected in their napkins. The color chosen may be burgundy for an autumn wedding with a handsome, gold trimmed print and message in the corner. Other popular wedding colors are black and white, peach, lavender, light blue and even a Christmas theme if the party will be held over the holidays.
Festivities do not have to be exorbitant to warrant the inclusion of a classy touch of personalized printed napkins. Besides a simple monogram, some brides choose a pattern of tiny flowers, a hummingbird, a pair of turtledoves or a wedding cake, to summarize, the reason for the occasion. Some may go an extra step and make an outline silhouette of the wedding pair themselves as a united entity. This can be printed up in the same contrasting color as their printed names. Not only gold but a slim black text can be absolutely stunning. Some brides prefer silver, white, or even a contrasting color but here, as always, less is more.
