Couples are often looking for a way to add custom personalization to their wedding, rehearsal dinner or other special events...and customized cocktail napkins are a perfect option for that!

You can add artwork, monograms and caligraphy - all to make this small detail unique for you! These adorable napkins also work great at engagement parties and bridal or baby showers!

Modern Monograms

Last month we shared a beautiful monogram invitation suite with you, and here we offer more variations of the modern look.

First is a lime and brown monogram suite with a custom map.

The pieces are clean and crisp, truly setting the overall mood for the wedding itself months in advance. The beautiful white pieces are tied together with a lush bow and mailed in a dark brown envelope - the perfect contrast.

This next set makes a true statement with its simplicity...and avocado colored envelope!

Real Wedding by OhSoFab!

For this pink and brown wedding we used brown paper with pink lettering as well as pink paper with brown lettering. First we made these lovely escort cards and table signs.

The menus fit into the simple yet classic napkin fold and included the monogram for the newlyweds.

And the monogram was used throughout other printed pieces at the reception!

We even made these adorable matching tags for the cookie favors!

The planner behind this beautiful wedding reception is Tina LaMorte of OhSoFab and the calligraphy script is Bickham. 

Black & White NYE's Wedding

We are so excited to finally have received these pictures from a New Year's Eve black and white wedding! Coordinated by the amazing Tina LaMorte of Oh So Fab! wedding planning. We created invitations and menus, both letterpressed. The calligraphy style used is our Tier 3 Splendid Flourish and we added crystal rhinestones to enhance the custom damask design.

The signs at the event were created with white writing on black cards and black writing on white cards , and the escort cards were custom square tent cards.

The couple even created a groom's monogram that was used at the bachelor party and also on these adorable matchstick boxes ~ so creative!

It was truly a beautiful black and white affairs ~ congrats to the happy couple!

Groom's Monogram

This special monogram was created especially for the groom and used throughout the bachelor party. It tied in with the couple's monogram and wedding pieces.

It was an all black and white NYE wedding!

Venice Invitation Suite on MarthaStewartWeddings.com

This couple's wedding was recently featured in Vermont Vows Magazine and we are so honored to have been included in their newest feature on MarthaStewartWeddings.com!

As you might have guessed, the wedding took place in Vermont. They were married in the historic town of Manchester, where the groom's mother lives. Such a gorgeous backdrop for a wedding.

The couple chose to use our Venice invitation suite and ordered a complete set including invitations, rsvp card sets, full color maps with directions, and reception cards.

A custom belly band with their monogram held the entire set together.

The innner envelopes had a matching pink envelope liner, and we used two ply pearl white letterpress paper to get an extra deep imprint.

Matching menus, placecards and programs were ordered later for the ceremony and reception.

Each menu was personalized with the guest’s name in hand-lettered calligraphy.

The whole set came together beautifully and tied in well with the intimate reception decor. The couple even used our custom Zazzle stamps to complete the look!

Real Wedding: Los Cabos, Mexico

I simply adore the creativity and details in this custom invitation suite. The wedding took place at the One & Only Palmilla Resort in Los Cabos, Mexico, and we incorporated the major colors of the couple's palette ~ aqua blue, rich orange, gold, and brown. The result was fabulous!

We created a fantastic postcard highlighting each event so guests could respond to each one individually as well as write a handwritten note to the bride and groom when they replied. Instructions for this were provided in English and translated to Spanish as well.

We used a beautiful osmose paper that resembles wood for the Beach BBQ card and the Welcome Fiesta on the beach and created a custom oversized pocketfold (to hold all the pieces) imprinted with a gorgeous tile design that is seen throughout the resort in a neutral ivory shade.

Allcards were printed on 100% cotton paper. The invite card itself was orange and metallic gold letterpress, and the rest of the cards were letterpressed as well.

The invitation and all the cards went into the pocketfolder which was then inserted into a beautiful organic envelope tied shut with twine a luggage tag style name tag for each guest (instead of an inner envelope). The entire set was mailed in an organic kraft envelope (letterpress printed, of course!) sealed with an antique gold wax stamp that was custom ordered by the bride.

The bride also created her own monogram to match the set and affixed it to the front of the pocket folder. The weather forecast was provided on an additional card, 80 degrees and sunny every day!!

The bride even ordered four custom stamps from Zazzle.com to accompany the set!

Custom luggage tags like those on the invitation were also used as favor tags at the reception itself. We also did placecards for each event on sand dollars and spanish tiles that the bride and her brother painted over the span of several months leading up to the wedding so they, too, would match the invites!

We couldn't have been happier with the results of this suite, and we know the bride and groom loved it too!Calligraphy style is Elegance script. All photography by Victor Sizemore.

This tablecloth was used at the rehearsal dinner and was the inspiration for the Beach BBQ Card!

Sanddollars were hand painted with the names of each guest and used as placecards at each seat.
