The art of entertaining, and it truly is an art, lies in the details. Touches such as the perfect scent or lighting have the power to elevate a gathering. One such addition is the humble cocktail napkin. These seemingly small linens take your tablescaping up a notch and are well worthy of their place on your pre-party-prep-list.
Typically sized as a compact 15cm square, these pretty linens serve both a functional and decorative role. They effortlessly absorb condensation from a chilled glass, protect surfaces, and provide guests with a convenient touchpoint for their drinks. In design, cocktail napkins transcend their utilitarian origins to become miniature canvases for personal expression and style. Luxuriously embroidered designs, intricate imagery, or custom monograms bring a touch of refinement to any occasion, from intimate dinner parties to grand celebrations. To some they make seem excessive, but couldn’t the same be said for most good things in life? They’re fun, they add a sense of occasion and they signal that you’ve arrived.
