By Dianne Crane


When that special occasion is being planned there are several areas to consider. The venue or location is important. The date, whether day or night, as well as the guest invitation list, tend to be at the top of the consideration list. Then there are is the food, entertainment, and place setting. With so many components it could be difficult to plan. Years after the event, there could be only a few of the guests that can even remember it at all. Custom printed napkins are not only easy ways to add to the event, but they are also a means to create lasting memories.

Whether a daughters wedding, parents fifty year wedding anniversary, or the senior prom, there are desires to capture those memories. Creative and inexpensive ways to accomplish that is through napkins. People may wonder why they should be even considered. The average person which keeps souvenirs and other collectibles will surely have a special napkin somewhere in the collection.

A napkin can be placed easily into scrap books and photo albums. Common practices include framing wedding announcements, reception menus, and napkins together. This collection then serves as a family heirloom which can be shared through many generations.

A person may become nostalgic as they age. Reviewing a special napkin from that first school dance can unlock memories which send great feelings rushing through the mind and heart. It is amazing how therapeutic greatness is bottled in something created from paper. This can be more effective than prescribed medicine.

A napkin is only a type of processed paper which could easily have been an envelope, index card, or paper towel. With the injection of creativity it is so much more. The basic product is made in any color imaginable. White has been the standard historically. But a celery green, red, blue, or periwinkle color can easily be selected.

The printing approach is what sets this process apart. All types of text is used. If text can be typed onto a document or created in a computer program it can also be imprinted onto a napkin. Text color can relate directly to that of the napkins. Text can also exhibit raised texture which provides yet another design dimension.

Within the approach to printing is the means of including any type and color of a design. Whether saddle oxfords and pink poodle skirts for sock hops or mistletoe for holiday gatherings, they can all be used easily. And to take it the extra mile, the texts and designs have the option of being created with gold and silver foil. Holographic technology is also available. This heightened level of creativity goes way beyond the standard ink approach.

Using custom printed napkins ought not ever be viewed by the planner as just a fancy way of wiping the fingers after snacks or a tool to wrap around a cold drink. Many will definitely be used for these purposes. The greater reasons however are the ability to provide excitement and completeness to the special occasion. It also provides a special way to preserve wonderful memories for many years to come.
