Wedding Decorations Napkin Folding

Wedding decorations take on many forms. Napkin folding is one way to add flare to your event.

Whether you will be taking care of table settings or having someone else do this for you. There are many ways to fold napkins for your guest tables. Napkins add a touch of formality to any event, but can be folded in a number of ways to appear less formal if your event is informal. Regardless, napkins are a requirement and etiquette when serving guests.

The napkin folding directions here are for the tulip fold. This is a stylish combination when using napkin rings. When considering what color napkins you will be using consider the color of the ring itself so that it will stand out. Typically if going to a reception hall, you will have numerous color choices for your napkins. Pick something that goes with your color scheme and of course make sure that the napkin rings you will make, will stand out on the napkin.

If going for a less formal affair you can still use this folding and napkin rings. What you will want to do, is place something whimsical on the napkin ring to match the theme. For instance if you are having a tropical style wedding you might place a shell on the ring. If going with a Victorian style, try to find some tiny shoes to glue on them. If you are a free spirit and of the Harley motorcycle style, try and find small motorcycles and glue on them. This keeps with etiquette and adds a fun, less formal appeal.
