Let’s see some ideas.
Vintage
Vintage style reflects old fashion elegance and provides lots of romanticism. This is why many people choose a vintage theme for their wedding.
For example, mint green, lavender purple, blush pink and antique gold are beautiful colors and are also great options for your paper napkins.
If you already picked your accent colors choosing neutral colors like gray and ivory are best to make them stand out.
Finally, there are many pretty vintage patterns printed on napkins as well. A floral and damask design will provide a nice contrasting touch without looking overwhelming as it would on a tablecloth.
Travel
Adventure lovers will appreciate a delicate compass design on their napkin. However, they will be thrilled by a napkin folded into an airplane shape!
After all, travel is about discovering new routes and ways of doing things.
Also, don’t hesitate to dig deeper into the subject and add a design that underlines your travel interest.
It can be golf trips, visiting island beaches, tasting foreign gastronomy or embarking on cruises.
It can be as simple as a wine bottle or vine grape design that underlines your passion for visiting vineyards.
Do you love safaris?
Pick an animal print like zebra or giraffe for your napkins for a cheerful and stunning looking napkin.
Whatever your interest, your guests will enjoy this personal touch.
Country
Country weddings are informal and heartwarming celebrations. Unlike weddings where etiquette is followed to the letter, the respective bride’s and groom’s families and friends are invited to”pick a seat, not a side”.
Interestingly, rustic and shabby chic weddings are in the same welcoming spirit. Therefore choosing a tartan, floral, woodgrain or lace pattern for your napkins adds a humble and delicate touch.
Some objects are often associated with country style weddings like mason jars, antlers, cowboy boots/hat, barn house, a wheat sheaf, etc.
One way to personalize the napkins is to have one of these country-like items printed on your napkins with the spouse’s name or monogram.
Try also to pick a design that represents you as a couple. It can be as simple as a flower design. If you love horses than a horse silhouette or horseshoe is a design you can relate to.
Tropical
Tropical and nautical elements are often used together to decorate a beach wedding theme.
Bird of paradise flowers, palm leaves, and exotic fruits are only some ways to represent a tropical theme wedding.
These symbols are pretty generic and you can make them more personal as well.
For example, if you love Hawaiian islands than personalize your wedding napkins with a hibiscus print.
Do you enjoy surfing the waves? A surfboard design customized with your favorite quote is a perfect choice.
On the other hand, if you want something as simple a solid color napkin with a stylish monogram than go for it.
Tropical latitudes are known to have lush landscapes.
Pick a fuschia, lime green or turquoise color napkin that resembles the vibrant colored flowers found in those idyllic places.
Your personalized wedding napkins become a treat for your guest’s eyes!
