The Art of Choosing Printed Napkins for Every Occasion

Napkins are always considered as important accessories on the table or any other occasion. Although it is possible to get away with using plain white napkins when serving food on a daily basis, incorporating printed napkins can go a long way in enhancing the theme as well as the colors of the occasion – be it the holidays, weddings, baby showers, or dinner parties. In this blog post, we will discuss all the important aspects that can help you to make the right decision regarding printed napkins from Beeta Tissues for any event or a special meal.

Things to Consider When Selecting Printed Napkins

  • Material: Paper vs. Fabric - The first choice one has to make is whether to use paper or fabric napkins. Paper napkins for instance are easy to dispose of once a guest spills food or wine on them since it is made of paper. They also are relatively cheaper. Reusable fabric napkins are more formal and upscale when compared to the disposable paper napkin. It is advisable to look at the likelihood of the event being formal and whether you will be able to wash the clothes if they are fabrics before opting for paper or fabric.
  • Thickness: When selecting paper napkins, it is important to select the apt thickness for the type of food and beverages to be served. A thin and fragile paper is suitable for finger foods and coffee making while a thick paper is better for foods that are likely to stain such as bbq ribs or pasta in rich sauces. As for the fabric, it is crucial to select one of a medium to heavy weight. The fabrics that are light in weight can easily get stained.
  • Print Design & Color: Design and color, in particular, are essential for fitting your event. For casual occasions such as birthdays or cocktail parties, designer clothing features bright prints. Soft patterns of prints are perfect for luncheons or other formal dinners. Seasonal and holiday prints give it that extra touch of holiday cheer through tissue pocket packs. However, be careful to ensure that the color of the table cloth complements other table accessories.

Coordinating Napkin Style and Pattern with the Occasion

When choosing your designer paper napkins, one of the initial decisions to make is whether the occasion is formal or otherwise. Although casual settings like backyard barbecues and picnics may require paper napkins, it is suitable for more formal events such as weddings, rehearsal dinner or holiday meals to use cloth napkins in a solid color, a subtle or an elegant print that harmonizes with your dinnerware.

During casual occasions such as backyard barbeque, children birthday parties, game night, you get to be more creative with your choice of vibrant disposable napkins with graphics or fun prints. Choosing the right print will ensure that people are reminded of the party’s theme each time they see the cup.

Napkin Size and Shape

Napkins are available in different sizes such as cocktail size, luncheon size, dinner size and large banquet size. In most cases, it will be advisable to select napkin sizes that match the size and shape of the plates or the dining table or any other surface on which they will be placed. This is particularly useful for placing the small plates and the larger dinner and banquet napkins are ideal for accompanying a full set of utensils.

Select Colors and Patterns

There are just so many things you can do with Coloured dinner napkins to actually have a way of adding more colors and characters into your table setting. Table napkins should also be in harmony with the dishes you are using or match the theme that you have set for your party.

Traditional red and green checks and stripes have a traditional appeal perfect for country, farmhouse style dining tables or Christmas. Solids may be used to enhance the somber look of tables and chairs. Geometric patterns seem sleek and contemporary. The options are endless!

Consider Napkin Material

For napkins, Beeta Tissues currently has both paper and fabric varieties, available in many print possibilities. Single-use colourful paper napkins are perfect for such events as a wedding, a picnic, or a children's party since such events require a massive number of napkins. The paper is thick but still smooth to the touch and highly absorbent.

For more formal dinners or any kind of milestone events, opt for fabric napkins made from cotton, linen or even a blend of cotton and linen that can be washed and reused rather than paper napkins which can only be used once and then disposed of. The natural textures are just perfect for fine china and glasses.

The Napkin Print Game: Matching & Mismatching

Feel free to combine different printed napkin designs and use them on the same table to create a more playful look! It is okay to wear floral prints of the same color, or wear 2-3 kinds of plaid or geometrical prints for as much impact. As long as there is one color that runs throughout all the napkins, then it should be fine.

While this napkin styling is perfect for an informal setting, especially those summer patio lunches, engagement parties, bridal showers, or even the children’s table during a large family Christmas dinner!

Care Tips

Beeta printed paper napkins are designed for one-time use as they can be thrown away after use during the event. If you use fabric napkins, pay attention to the washing instructions section. Most of the printed cotton or linen napkins are washable by the machine.

When washing printed fabric napkins, it is recommended that you wash them in cold water and gentler cycle and avoid using fabric softener or bleach, as this may cause the ink used in printing to fade or run when washed repeatedly. Always hang to dry or dry on a low heat cycle in the dryer. If taken care of, your printed fabric napkins will last for many years and gain that soft look that makes them perfect for vintage events!

Conclusion

Selecting the appropriate fun, stylish printed napkins for your next dinner party, holiday celebration or special occasion is one of the simplest ways to add style to your table. Beeta Tissues offer a wide range of paper and fabric napkins in various designs, colors and prints, which ensures that you find the ideal match for any occasion.
