Personally, I’d find premade napkins to buy because all that work for something people are going to be throwing away seems like a waste of time to me. Even a company to personalize then would be a better option so you can spend your precious minutes before your wedding date doing something else.
Smart thought. In fact we were going to do just so the same thing. We had a fantastic stamp that we had used on the further than of our invitations, and thought it would not only save money but be really cute to use the same stamp to customize our document cocktail napkins for the reception.
The only problem was, we tried numerous different kinds of ink and none of them worked. They all looked really fantastic, but as soon as they get damp ( like from drips of the condensation off of a drink glass) the ink started to run and smear. We certainly didn’t want to stain any body’s clothing or fingers.
So, we finished up going to a have fun supplies store and had them printed. it finished up honestly cheap, we got 500 napkins customized for under $40.
All Martha ever stamped was license plates, that’s why there were no details!
