Napkins Aren't Just for Messes!

We all know what we use a napkin for — to clean up any food residue on our faces or to prevent a spill/accident from landing on our nice white clothes. It's a very utilitarian product, but it also serves a bigger purpose in the grand scheme of things for a wedding reception or any type of party event. Literally, it can make your tablescape "pop" in terms of color + making a visual statement for your reception decor.

Pick a color linen napkin that accents your reception table design. See these great examples of napkin colors that compliment their environments. And remember, you can be creative with the napkin fold whether cinching it down in the middle to make a bow (see above picture) or tucking the dinner menu inside it.

If you're on a budget and you do have to pick + choose on where to invest your money wisely for wedding decor, I say opt for the clean, crisp white table cover linen that is budget friendly and splurge a little on a color or even a patterned designed napkin that embraces the mood + style of your wedding.
