Customized Napkins

Er, Er...as much as I want to vent on the big bridesmaids dress issue, I am going to stay positive here. In happy news, I am thrilled with Printglobe.

Many months ago, I was against personalized napkins. I just didn't see a need, but then we added a cocktail hour and I realized for the appetizers and drinks - this might be a good thing, so I started looking around. At first I browsed the niche wedding sites, but then quickly realized only a few allow you to do the "customized" napkin with your own logo and then they may also charge you more for the customized part. I knew I really wanted to use our logo on the napkins - so I was happy to find that Printglobe did not charge extra. The other great benefits - Their website was oh so easy and I felt like the prices were the best. But what probably impressed me the most was that the sales rep returned emails immediately (I know! I guess this is a rarity in anything related to weddings). So I ordered them and they arrived today. I am so excited to use them! I know - nothing special - they are napkins, but I guess when really good customer service occurs - it makes it even better!

oooh i love those, i was thinking about doing gocco for cocktail napkins but then i realized i will probably need like 400 (how many did you order?) so ordering some sounds like a great idea, im going to check out their site! and emails back, music to my ears!!

Yes! I know I wanted to do the Gocco thing as well, but then thought time wise and cost wise I didn't think it would be worth it -I did 500. They say that guests will probably use 2 to 3 napkins, so I felt like that was enough.

for your party is totally overpriced! and i don't like the quality of their napkins, either. i ordered some via ebay - their web site www.caketops.net. my caterer told me to order 1200 napkins to cover both 2 bars for the cocktail hour and appetizers. i'm hoping we have some left over, though! the website i went through does charge extra for custom art, but it ended up being about the same price. her napkins are a really nice quality too - nicer than foryourparty.

Hello! I actually had Swishdesigns (swishdesigns.blogspot.com/) create it. I found her on etsy and she created about four logos for me...this one fit well with my venue! She is great!
