Monogrammed Napkins 101

You can never go wrong with a monogrammed napkin–it’s the uber napkin: classic, stylish and always appropriate. It’s also very easy. Just follow our Monogrammed Napkins 101 guide.

With traditions, sometimes there are rules to follow. You can be as careful or as relaxed as you want to be: it’s your dinner party, wedding reception or family dinner, after all. Here are some of the traditional rules for how to use monogrammed napkins.

Monogram Basics

Let’s start with defining what exactly is a monogram. A monogram can be any combination of letters that symbolize a name. In a typical three-letter monogram, the order goes like this:

  • Middle position (center) — last initial
  • First position (left) — first initial
  • Third position (right) — middle initial

So, Stephen Charles Johnson’s monogram would be S-J-C.

There’s also such a thing as a couple’s monogram. Here, the order goes like this:

  • Middle position (center) — shared last name
  • First position (left) — husband’s first initial
  • Third position (right) — wife’s first initial

Obviously, these rules are modified in the case of a same-sex couple, or if the spouses do not share the same last name. Monograms can also have two letters, four letters or more. Read more about monograms in our 3-part blog series on monograms.

Where do you put the monogram on a napkin?

Traditionally, the monogram can appear in the lower left corner of the folded napkin or in the center third of the napkin. We monogram our napkins in the center third — we like the proportions better. The monogram is front-and-center. Plus, many of our napkins have what’s called a “coin” edge, a horizontal band of embossed lines at the bottom of the napkin. The coin edge gives the napkins a nice touch.

How big should a monogram on a napkin be?

The phrase “the bigger the better” works sometimes, but in the case of a monogrammed napkin, it doesn’t. If you fill up an entire napkin with a monogram, then when you fold it, you’d lose the effect. Looking at random parts of letters is not elegant! You’ll confuse your guests and waste your money. The monogram on a napkin should be a couple of inches wide and tall, but usually no bigger.

Formal Parties

Monogrammed napkins are the classic choice for a very formal dinner party — a wedding reception, memorial dinner, 25th anniversary dinner and so on. According to the definitive guide, Emily Post’s Etiquette, the napkin color should match the tablecloth — white or ivory are typical. The napkins should be folded into a rectangle, similar to our guest towels. Place the napkins on the plate, with the monogram facing the chair.

Informal Parties

The rules loosen at informal parties — things like baby showers and larger birthday celebrations. First of all, Emily Post says that the color scheme can be more relaxed and colorful. Mix a white tablecloth with colorful napkins. Use place mats — any material or texture will do: lace, straw, bamboo, etc. — and choose a coordinating napkin. Or, use a patterned tablecloth, choose a color from it, and make that your napkin color.

Here, the napkin placement is a little different: put the napkin to the left of the forks. (We know…many of us put a fork on the napkin, but that’s not traditionally how “it’s done.”)

Here again, use a dinner-style napkin described above, folded in a rectangle with the monogram in the center third of the folded napkin.

For a casual luncheon — maybe you’re having your a few of your BFFs over to celebrate the kids going back to school — you can use a napkin that’s folded into a square, similar to our napkins. Place it on the plate, diagonally, so that the monogram is pointing toward the chair.

Family Meals

In many families, it’s hard to gather everyone for a meal around the table. But when you do, it’s time to make the most of it. Setting the table is one way to make it special. Spending those few minutes to clear off papers, lay utensils and napkins, place glasses and dishes for every diner can help bring everyone’s stress levels down and look forward to catching up on the day.

Here, monogrammed napkins can be placed on the plate, under the fork, or where-ever you like. Help younger children learn how to unfold the napkin and place it on their laps. Then delve into the topic of the day, some words of gratitude, or however you like to get the conversation going.

Using monogrammed napkins regularly is a wonderful way to build routines and traditions in your life. Your friends will ooh-la-la. Your family will be impressed. And you’ll be pleased that you’ve created one more routine in your life that you won’t have to think about. Check out our selection and get started now.

Introducing…Coaster Napkins

Coaster napkins are durable, attractive disposable coastersPlans are moving like clockwork for your big event. The invitations went out. You’ve planned the menu and decor. What’s next? Think about coasters or beverage napkins, especially if you are entertaining at home and want to protect your tables and other surfaces where guests will land their drinks. Want the latest, greatest party idea? Consider coaster napkins, Giftsin24.com’s newest product addition. As their name implies, these products combine the best features of coasters and napkins, all at an affordable price.

Personalized beverage napkins are wonderful and offer flexibility. For a modest investment, you can announce the reason for your celebration at the dining table, beverage cart and buffet. Coaster napkins add an advantage: Sturdier and more absorbent than beverage napkins, coaster napkins won’t shred when wet and will stand up to multiple uses.

Compared with coasters, coaster napkins also save space and are cost-effective, especially if you are expecting more than 10 guests. Investing in dozens of cork or glass coasters would add to the cost of your party, plus they’d have to be stored in between events.

Discover cute coaster napkins for your next eventIt’s easy to personalize coaster napkins with popular Giftsin24 monograms, lettering styles and designs. Personalize them for weddings, showers, anniversary parties, birthday celebrations and other special events.

The 4-1/8” x 4-1/8” squares work equally well for hot or cold beverages. Made from textured paper that has a bit of latex in it, they stay in place, won’t shred and will even look pretty for a second or third event.

The white paper has a linen-like finish, which lends it some texture and a slight sheen. Even when wet, the coaster napkins stay attractive because the personalization does not rub off.

Gorgeous Bespoke Wedding Napkins

Delavan Monogram Napkin from giftsin24 ships in 24 hours.

The embossed Delavan Monogram Napkin offers several monogram choices. Shown here is the Classic Monogram.

In the 16th century, bespeak came to mean “to order or arrange in advance.” As with many words, it was only a matter of time before people started using it in a new grammatical form: the adjective bespoke, referring to clothes and other things that are ordered before they are made, according to the fabulous online resource, Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

Fast forward five centuries, and the word bespoke is enjoying a renaissance in U.S. culture. In our mass-produced and digital world, we have come to appreciate beautiful objects that are custom made just for us.

The Millennial generation is taking this trend and bringing it to one of the most important occasions of anyone’s life: the wedding day. As young people seek to personalize their wedding according to their own tastes and interests — on a budget — they are looking for bespoke wedding napkins and other  elements of their event.

Young people are using our personalized wedding napkins and guest towels to create that special touch on the wedding buffet or dining table. Here are our most popular wedding napkins and guest towels. Lickety split, you can design the perfect napkin for your wedding shower, reception, cocktail hour, rehearsal dinner or bachelorette party, and in a day, they’ll be in the mail on your way to you.

The Party Rookie: How Many Napkins Do You Need?

Serenity Napkin by giftsin24.com

Serenity Napkin gives a wedding shower or engagement party a spark of sophistication

Oops…Did you order too few napkins? Personalized party napkins can take an uninteresting table setting from humdrum to hubba hubba. At Giftsin24 it’s easy to create the perfect personalized napkins for your next party. But do you know how to estimate napkins so you order the correct amount? Order too many, and you’ll be using them for the next several months. Order too few and, well, your guests will be a little uncomfortable.

Now that you’ve added some glitz, don’t make a rookie mistake and order too few napkins. There’s nothing more awkward than getting caught short-handed at the buffet table, beverage bar or powder room.

Here’s how to estimate the number of napkins or guest towels you’ll need:

How to Estimate Napkins

  • Drinks during an open bar or cocktail hour: one napkin per hour per guest.
  • Passed hors d’oeuvres before a meal:  one napkin for each piece of appetizer you serve.
  • Dessert or cake: one napkin per guest.

How to Estimate Guest Towels

  • Dinner napkins for a meal: one towel per guest, plus extras “just in case.” Order two per guest if serving saucy food or food that is eaten with the hands.
  • Hand towels in the restroom: two to three per person for a three- to four-hour party. If you have a longer reception, plan on more.

Whether you want traditional, white embossed napkins or snazzy foil-stamped napkins in vivid hues, you can find an amazing array of designs, motifs, paper colors, foil colors and lettering styles that hit the right note for your event. You can find napkins for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, holidays and many more occasions. They’ll add that special touch to your next party.  See all of our precision-crafted napkins here.
