Did you know? Napkins: The Finished Product

Drumroll please...........................
Here THEY are, my napkins! I love them! What do you think?



I ordered the napkins from my local BCD Promos (http://bcdpromos.com/default.aspx) supplier. BCD has great selection, it's almost too many choices, and the best prices I could find. Plus, they are super reliable.
I decided to do 2-ply beverage and dinner napkins in white with black printing. You might have noticed that the proofs I posted earlier included our accent color, chartreuse, and the actual photos above are monochromatic. Well, the 2 color printing was almost double the cost, and since these were pricy napkins anyway, I had to say no. I honestly think they turned out better in just black and white, what do you think?

The day after the wedding, I told my husband (heehee...it still gives me the giggles to say that) that I was surprised that no one said anything to me about the napkins because I was so in love with them. He laughed and said that people were coming up to him all night and saying how much they loved the napkins. Also, my aunts and mother said the same thing and they kept telling everyone that there were several types so try to see them all.
OVERALL REVIEW
COST: Expensive! 9 different designs=9 different setup expenses.
TIME: Just a few hours, could probably be done in one night.
DIFFICULTY: Not too bad, the worst part was coming up with the different sayings.

Hi Katie Rose! I'm so glad you like them! I ordered them from BCD and nearly 95% of things on their site can be personalized. I think these are the dinner napkins: http://bcdpromos.com/ProductDetail/ProductDetail.aspx?Ntt=napkins+low+volume&kid=23364905&Ne=98&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&BWS=0%7c3&N=0&DPSV_Id=224807&No=0&Ntk=WordSearch&Nr=LMSiteEligibility:1&id=7495337&pSRVC_Id=65

And these are the beverage:
