Entertaining Idea: Embossed Napkins

I always keep my entertaining ideas folder filled with ideas for quick, easy and inexpensive ways to up-style a party or sit-down dinner.  My latest fixation is Embossed Paper Napkins.
Embossing guns are used a lot as personalized address stamps but you can also get embossing plates with monograms and designs on them.  With minimal investment, usually under $50 you can buy an embosser and a couple of different plates.

This classic monogram is one of my favorites and once stamped on a plain paper napkin, the napkin takes on a high-end look.

Think about using up-styled paper napkins for large parties to save on money and they can also become part of the color theme.

Single initials are always stylish!  The next time you’re invited to a house-warming party think about giving a embosser as a personal and unique gift.

Embossers can also be used on gift tags, cards, gift wrap and other paper items.

Entertaining Tip: Cocktail Napkins

One of the easiest and cost-effective ways to introduce style into your next dinner party or festive event is by using decorative Cocktail Napkins.

Cocktail Napkins can be incorporated into your décor to fit your design or color theme.  I love to use cloth cocktail napkins but designer paper napkins often win out because of their ease and cost savings.

When using paper cocktail napkins, you’ll create a more stylish look if you use a mix of coordinating patterns and/or colors.

For more casual entertaining, quotable cocktail napkins are fine, but shy away from these for more formal or elegant events.

And don’t forget to serve up your cocktail napkins in pretty holders or containers so that every element of your décor is chic!
