Appetizer Planning for a Stylish Cocktail Hour

• If you’re hosting an appetizer-only event during off-meal hours, prepare five to six different types of hors d’oeuvres and anticipate that guests will eat one or two from each selection.
• Events taking place during meal hours need to include enough food to constitute an entire meal. Therefore, plan on serving eight to ten different appetizers with party guests enjoying two to three of each type. For appetizers in place of a meal, offer cold, warm, and dessert options.
• If your list of attendees includes a number of men, keep in mind that they tend to have a bigger appetite than a roomful of women or seniors.
• Always be sure to include a number of fillers as well such as nuts, olives, breadsticks, and dips.

• Be inspired by the season. Seasonal selections from a farmer's market or harvest festival can provide a number of delicious options.
• Have fun experimenting, but don’t go overboard. Consider serving one or two unique items and fill in the rest with tried-and-true crowd pleasing appetizers.
• Variety is definitely a positive for cocktail parties. Mix up flavor profiles, temperatures, and textures to keep things exciting.
• Keep particular food needs of guests in mind. Be sure to offer a few options that are vegetarian, gluten-free, or dairy-free.

How can I display collegiate tableware collections?

Incorporating solids into the theme materials allows your customer to stretch their party dollar while still offering a team inspired presentation. Consider flanking the collegiate supplies with a coordinating color on either side of the display.
• If you live in an area where there are rivalry teams in proximity to one another like the Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans, create two displays side-by-side in a fighting stance. Customers will certainly grumble but will be glad they can find products perfect for their particular sporting celebration. Which fans offer more school spirit?
• Display the collegiate tableware collections alongside any professional sporting merchandise you may carry. Patrons are often fans at both the college and professional level and may not even have considered that products are available for each of their favorite teams.

Serve Your Guests Well with Our Premium Plastic Cutlery

Professional Plastic Cutlery Presentation

Wrapped

• Napkin Wrap ' Probably the most popular way to wrap cutlery would be in a tissue napkin using our Napkin Roll Fold. For the fastest option, check out our collection of paper napkin bands, offered in a variety of colors and designs. You can also get more creative with coordinating ribbon, patterned washi tape, and even twine or smaller braided rope. For formal events with seating charts, simply print your own napkin bands with each guests name and secure closed with a small piece of invisible tape before displaying at each seat. Don't have time to roll our own napkin bundles? Check out our bulk CaterWrap napkin sets.
• Paper Doily Wraps ' Another new trend taking over is a rustic or vintage feel. Add the perfect accent to your event by wrapping a set of plastic cutlery in one of our many offerings of paper doilies and securing with a piece of tape, napkin band, or twine for an even more rustic appearance. You could also use the same custom placecard bands as above and just secure over the doily or use a doily over a napkin. The options are endless.

Naked

• Fun Containers ' The options are truly endless here. Sort utensils by style and display in cups, cans, cases, baskets, bowls, jars, pails, or specified utensil caddies. This is a great way to incorporate containers that will tie into the event's theme at food tables and buffets.
• Condiment Tray ' Ideal for restaurants or large events where condiments may be needed for the menu being served, you can create large trays that include the typical condiments and a stack of napkins with one of the above ways to display an offering of cutlery at each table. This is reminiscent of the “family style""
• Bundles ' These are just like napkin wraps, minus the napkin! There is nothing wrong with tying a three piece set of plastic cutlery together with ribbon or twine for a simple and easy solution.

Enveloped

• Quickset Napkins ' This nifty offering is available on Napkins.com with our dinner napkins in a variety of colors and designs. Each napkin is specially pre-folded to create a convenient pouch to stick the cutlery in which can be displayed to the side of the plates in your table settings or in the center.
• Cutlery Pouches ' Available with our CaterWrap Napkin Sets, our cutlery pouches are the perfect size to hold a napkin, fork, knife, and spoon in a convenient paper pouch.

Fabulous DIY Foods For A Wedding Reception

Tasty And Inexpensive Appetizers

• Fruit kabobs—prepare ahead of time using bamboo skewers and arrange on trays and cover with plastic. Kabobs are easy for guests to pick up, fruit does not roll off the platter, and they are very colorful. Provide a sweet dip or two for the fruit. Make sure there is a serving spoon in the dip dish.
• Meatballs—Make your own meatballs up to 3 months ahead of the event and freeze. If you partially freeze meatballs on cookie sheets for about 20 minutes they will not stick together in the freezer container or bag. Simmer meatballs in your favorite sauce for about 20 minutes before serving.
• Puff pastry treats—Spinach and artichoke puff pastry appetizers can be made ahead, sliced, and frozen for up to 3 months. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes before the reception. Look for recipes online.
• Cheese and crackers—Variety is the key here. Different cheese choices are fun, but you don’t have to go overboard. Roll a log of goat cheese in chopped herbs or warm up some Brie cheese. Make a platter 2-3 days ahead, arranging different cheese slices on the tray. Wrap tightly in plastic and store in the refrigerator. Add crackers when it's time to serve. Consider a variety of crackers, including Pretzel chips, almond crackers, and melba toast. Add small bunches of green and purple grapes to the platter, as well as thin slices of a tart apple for more visual appeal.

Lighter Meals Can Be Easy And Tasty

• Tea sandwiches are fun to make and so yummy to eat. Add fillings first and then cut off the crust and shape the sandwiches. Fillings can include egg salad, ham and Swiss cheese, cucumber and cream cheese, chicken salad, salmon spread, and more. Make some vegetarian options for those with dietary restrictions. Arrange the sandwiches on tiered cake stands for visual balance.
• Have a selection of fresh, seasonal fruit arranged on trays. Add sprigs of mint or basil leaves for decoration and have a honey and cream cheese dip on the side.
• Set up a coffee and beverage bar. Napkins.com has hot or cold paper cups that are an inexpensive solution and great for coffee or punch. Modern see-through beverage dispensers are so stylish and can be found almost anywhere for a bargain. Add slices of orange or lemon to the dispenser for visual pizzazz.
• Instead of a huge wedding cake, why not try the very-popular dessert bar? Have a wide assortment of sweets arranged at different heights on a serving table. Make one section of the table an ice cream sundae station. The key to success is a wide variety of choices to please all the guests. Try to make tablecovers, trays, and cupcake icing match the colors of your wedding.

Sit Down Meals For A DIY Wedding Reception

• Minestrone Soup--Easy to make in large quantities, healthy, and delicious, serve minestrone soup with freshly ground pepper and parmesan cheese.
• Caprese Salad—Arrange fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, basil, and balsamic vinegar on trays. You could also create caprese salad skewers for a grab-and-go option.
• Lasagna—Look for recipes that you can make ahead and freeze for up to 1 month (must be thawed for 24 hours before cooking). Allow plenty of time for baking, and remember you may need extra ovens. Keep lasagna servings in a warming tray or chafing dish. Be sure to have a vegetarian option.
• Caesar salad--Make dressing the day before and make homemade croutons up to 4 weeks ahead and store in an airtight container. Add dressing just before serving. Mix in cheese and croutons.
• Rolls—These do not have to be warm, but everyone loves whipped butter.

Creating a timeline

2-3 Months in Advance

• Venue- Consider whether the event will be hosted in a home setting or at a banquet hall or restaurant.  If hosting an event at a banquet hall or restaurant, make a booking at least 2-3 months in advance as there may be a lot of competition for the holiday party slots. Consider which date will offer the best chance for guests to be able to attend your party Depending on the size of the guest list, a home setting may have seating constraints. If a home partyis the preferred option, consider hosting an open house with longer hours rather than an evening sit-down dinner party so that people can come and go throughout the day, allowing for more guests to attend without creating an uncomfortable crowd in the home.
• Caterer or Home Cooking- If the party is being held at a banquet center or restaurant, either the venue or a caterer will provide the food. Schedule a date with the company to go over menu options. Depending on the time of day and length of the party, determine if appetizers will be offered along with an entree, or if you will be serving only appetizers or only an entree. Consider possible dessert options including cupcakes or cookies with holiday accents, which are easy to eat in a group setting and portable if guests want to take a treat home. If the host/hostess will be providing the food, allow time to begin considering recipes that serve large groups and can be prepared ahead of time. It's always nice to have a vegetarian option and a low-sodium option for guests who are vegetarian or have health considerations. Many recipes can be made ahead and frozen or prepared a few days to a day before the event allowing for easy day-of party preparation.

1 Month in Advance

• Grocery Shopping- It is handy to keep a file of all the recipes to be used so they are accessible when doing grocery shopping planning in the weeks before the event. Grocery stores often run sales in the month proceeding a holiday on beverages like soda and alcohol and items like snack chips, nuts, and candies that can be purchased ahead of time. Meat can be purchased early and frozen. Stock up on items that will keep like the aforementioned foods as well as garbage bags, bath tissue, and paper towels for the party.
• Guest List/Addresses- When planning a guest list for your Christmas party, be sure to include special family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Invitations are usually sent one month before the event allowing plenty of time for guests to save the date at this busy time of year.
• Paper Party Supplies- After choosing the color scheme or theme around which the party will center, plan the winter holiday tableware and decorations to be used for the event. Be sure to order in quantities that will accommodate for some unexpected guests or spills.

In the Week Before

• Freeze Ahead- Prepare any dishes that can be made ahead and frozen like Italian beef. Also purchase bags of ice for the drinks if freezer space allows.
• Fresh Supplies-Purchase any fresh foods needed for party recipes. Consider fresh flowers for centerpieces or room accents.

1 Day Before

• Prepare Recipes- Bake any cookies, cakes, or desserts. Prepare dips. Chop vegetables for recipes and set out all needed ingredients for anything to be cooked the day of the event.
• Defrost any Frozen Items- Defrost frozen foods in the refrigerator for food safety.
• Set Tables- Set place settings and tabletop decor as well as room decorations. This will save time the day of the event.

Day of the Party

• Cook and Heat Foods to be Served- Now is the time to cook and prepare the last of the foods to be served. Be sure to practice food safety by keeping cold foods cold with ice and warm foods warm with slow cookers.
• Enjoy!- Be sure to make time to enjoy the guests. Guests will feel relaxed if the host is relaxed and smiling. Mingle and chat to make all the guests feel comfortable.

Choosing Menu Options

Entree Ideas for Large Groups

• Italian beef
• Pulled pork
• Spaghetti and meatballs
• Lasagna
• Pasta
• Casseroles
• Ham
• Fried chicken
• Sloppy Joes

Selecting Tableware

• For meals, dinner or banquet-sized plates or platters are ideally sized for entrees. Select a solid color plate and pair with themed dinner napkin or themed plates paired with solid color napkins for a stylish look.
• For appetizers, desserts, and salads, dessert-sized plates are a great option. Pair with beverage sized napkins.

• For entrees or other hearty foods, dinner or luncheon-sized napkins are nicely sized. Available in an assortment of solid colors as well as patterns, paper lunch napkins are convenient for guests and easy to clean up after the event.
• When serving drinks, appetizers or other small snacks, beverage napkins are the ideal size. Solid color napkins in several shades can be fanned for an attractive display on your buffet tables.
• For restrooms, coordinating color guest towels can be used in lieu of cloth towels or paper towels for an elegant look.

• If serving soda, punch, or coffee, choose disposable hot/cold cups in solid colors or with a holiday theme. Most guests will use at least two cups during a party.
• For alcoholic beverages, plastic stemware is an excellent choice. Plastic wineglasses, champagne flutes, and margarita glasses can be easily used without fear of breakage.

• Plastic or paper tablecovers add a pop of color and protect your tables. Tablecovers create a clean and cohesive look in your party space and offer a diverse way to add to your color scheme.
• Themed centerpieces add a joyful touch to tabletops. Pair with cheerful flowers or evergreen branches in vases tied with festive ribbon to finish off the decor in the room.
• Layered design adds interest to any tabletop. Introduce two colors with tablecovers layered with runners. Dessert size plates can be set atop larger banquet size plates in a contrasting yet coordinating color for an elegant look. Roll cutlery in luncheon napkins, layer with a different color beverage napkin, and tie with a coordinating ribbon for easy use on a buffet line.

How Many Cups and Beverages Per Guest?

How Many Cups Per Guest

• Allow one plastic cup per guest per hour (four hour event = four cups per guest)

• If you are only supplying hot or cold paper cups, allow about two cups per guest for the first hour and one cup per guest for each hour after.
• If you are serving coffee and tea in addition to alcohol, allow two hot or cold paper cups per guest.
• If you are only serving soft drinks, juice, and coffee or tea, allow three hot or cold paper cups per guest.

• For champagne toasts, allow one plastic champagne flute per guest. If you are serving champagne throughout the night, up that number to two glasses per guest.
• For wine, allow one plastic wine glass per guest per hour.

How Many Beverages Per Guest

• Allow 2 liters or four to six bottles of water per four guests.
• When serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, allow one 8-oz glass of soft drink or juice per adult .
• When serving only non-alcoholic beverages, allow three 8-oz glasses for every guest.
• For events with children, plan on needing three 8-oz glasses per child.

• If you are serving alcoholic beverages, allow two cups of either coffee or tea per person.
• If you are not serving alcoholic beverages, allow three or more cups of either coffee or tea per person.

• Allow at least one 12-oz bottle per guest every half-hour to hour of the event, depending on how heavy your guests drink.

• One bottle of wine will typically serve five to six glasses, depending on how heavy you pour. Allow at least one bottle for every two guests. You can increase this standard to one glass of wine per guest, per hour if you know that your friends are mainly wine drinkers and your event will run longer than three hours.

• For Toasting: You can usually get five full glasses from one bottle. Allow one glass per guest for the toast. If you are looking to save a little money in this area, ask the bar staff to pour glasses 1/3 to 1/2 full, which should get you approximately eight glasses from a bottle and allow just enough champagne for the obligatory sip at toast time.
• As a beverage option: Allow two glasses per guest; you should be able to get approximately five to six glasses from one bottle.

• Consider streamlining your bar menu by choosing two or three signature cocktails to cut down on the amount of hard liquor you have to purchase. If you are using this method, look at the cocktail recipes, multiply the ingredients by three drinks per guest, and then multiply by the number of guests you are expecting. For example: 2 oz whiskey per drink x 3 drinks per guest x 100 guests = 600 oz whiskey.
• For a more general guideline, allow 1.5 oz of liquor per drink, which means a fifth of liquor is enough for 16 cocktails. Allow about three drinks per person, plus one for every hour over a three hour event.

• Allow 1.5 lbs of ice per guest for drinks and 2 to 2.5 lbs per guest if you have to chill bottles and cans.

What Is The Right Number of Napkins to Order?

• Beverage Napkins: These napkins are also known as cocktail napkins and are typically the most used at parties or wedding receptions. This small napkin usually measures between 4.75 inches square and 5 inches square and is the perfect napkin for drinks, appetizers, and desserts. If your event is featuring a cocktail hour and an open bar, plan guests having one drink per hour. This means for a five-hour event, you will need four to five beverage napkins per guest for drinks. If appetizers are being served before a full meal, plan on guests eating three to four hors d'oeuvres and needing three to four napkins. If you decide to also use cocktail napkins for the dessert or cake, plan on one more napkin per person. So, you need a total of eight to 10 beverage napkins per person for a 5-hour reception or party that includes a cocktail hour, appetizers, open bar, and dessert.
• Luncheon Napkins: These standard-sized napkins are considered the go-to napkin for any meal service. Napkins.com offers luncheon napkins that measures just shy of 6.5 inches square, and their 2-ply construction makes them perfect for a sit-down meal or buffet service. It is typical to order one to two lunch-style napkins per person. One napkin can be placed at each guest's place setting, or they can be displayed in stacks or containers at the end of the buffet line. Having a few extra luncheon napkins is a smart idea in case of spills or messy foods.
• Dinner Napkins: This napkin is typically used with dinner service and differs from the luncheon napkins in that it is either pre-folded into a rectangular shape or a slightly larger square shape. For more elegant wedding receptions, banquets, or parties, our budget-friendly FashnPoint, Linen-Like, Better than Linen, and Dunilin dinner napkins look and feel like cloth, but are disposable. When ordering dinner napkins, one to two napkins per guest should be sufficient.
• Guest Towels: Guests towels are generally made from a thicker ply material -- and therefore are more absorbent and usually softer than other disposable napkins. These napkins are pre-folded into a rectangular shape and  are slightly larger than dinner napkins. These can be used as dinner napkins at the table or as an elegant alternative to restroom paper towels or hand towels. A good rule of thumb is to order two to three per person if you are using guest towels in the restrooms. If you choose to use this napkin for a meal, then order one to two per person.

To Sum It Up:

• Beverage Napkins: Order three to four per guest
• Luncheon Napkins: Order one to two per guest
• Dinner Napkins: Order one to two per guest
• Guest Towels: Order two to three per guest for powder rooms. Order one to two per guest for dinner

1. Traymats offer a clean and hygienic surface for patients' food
2. Traymats elevate the dining experience in decorative and fun ways
3. Paper tray liners are great for hiding scratches, flaws, and stains on trays and are more cost effective than replacing expensive trays
4. Mats are disposable or recyclable for easy clean-up
5. Our traymats are sold in easy-to-store bulk packaging
6. Certain traymats are designed to keep plates, bowls, and cups from sliding, easing transportation of food

Which Traymat Is Best For Me?

• Many trays used in food service measure 14 inches by 18 inches. As you scroll through the products on our website, each item contains basic information about a particular traymat so you can see at a glance what the exact measurements, material, case quantity and design elements of the paper mat will be. We offer an extensive collection of designs for this standard-sized tray. There are solid colors, floral patterns, embossed designs, border prints, and a mat for children containing nutrition information and activities. Many of the solid colored traymats are finished with scalloped edging.
• Another common tray dimension is 15 inches by 20 inches. There are many designs, colors, and edging patterns available to fit this size tray. Some special patterns sold in this larger size include: Ribbons for Awareness, New Baby, Healthy Choices, Kidz be Kidz Artful Animals, Nutrition and a Children's My Plate design. These special mats are great for new mothers and children who need to spend time in a hospital setting. Also look for sets of traymats with fun scenes for holidays and seasons.
• The nonskid traymats feature a special application or coating that gives mats the ability to grip trays and dinnerware, which helps prevent spills and accidents during assembly, transportation, and delivery of foods. There are numerous nonskid designs to fit the 15-by-20-inch trays, as well as designs to fit serving trays for wait service or catered events. The serving traymats are sold in oval and larger rectangular shapes and are perfect for dessert or appetizer trays, or for wait staff walking around a room and serving drinks or cocktails to guests. The nonskid surface works well with food trays being transported on carts, and they're perfect on moving vehicles like airplanes, trains or ships. Trays can be tilted slightly and tableware will not slide.
• The Heat on Demand and Excel traymats are designed to complement the heated tray systems of the same names. Because the tray center contains a round surface or element using conduction or induction heating technology, the traymats have a cutout that will fit perfectly around the heated center. These traymats feature pleasing designs and seasonal patterns.

How to Choose Wedding & Event Colors

Contrast, Complementary, Clashing…What?!

1. blue/purple,orange/red, and yellow/green
2. green, orange, purple
3. red/purple, blue/green, yellow/orange

1. Begin with longest edge of the Parchment Cake Decorating Triangle facing you. Fold one point into the top corner and line up the corners.
2. Take the second point, fold it over the bag, and line up all three points.
3. Adjust the points so you get a tight point at the tip of the bag.
4. Fold the three corners down into the bag and add icing to the bag, no more than halfway full.
5. Press the icing down to the tip.
6. Fold each corner on the opening down.
7. Roll the top down until you reach the icing.

Decorative Table Accents

• Floral arrangements ' Flowers are one of the simplest ways to liven up any table setting. Arrangements can be as simple as wildflowers in a mason jar to more elegant options like roses or lilies in decorative vases. No matter what you choose, take advantage of seasonal selections and local offerings to help remain within budget. Local farmer's markets are generally a fantastic place to find outstanding floral arrangements.
• Candles ' Add elegance and style to table settings at evening events with simple candle displays. Hurricane vases in a variety of sizes and shapes are available at craft stores and dollar stores and allow for simple-yet-eye-catching candle holders. Tealight, votive, pillar, tapered, floating, and gel candles can all be combined with different vases, flowers, pebbles, marbles, and greenery to create stunning candle centerpieces.
• Centerpieces ' Flowers and candles are of course popular in many centerpieces, but inspiration can also be taken from so many other items. Wine bottles, ornaments, balloons, eggs, fruit, pumpkins, mason jars, terracotta pots, sand dollars, and so much more can spark stylish and unique centerpiece designs. A simple internet search of “easy centerpieces"" will have you amazed at other people's creativity as well as realizing, “I can do that!""
• Table runners ' Decorative table runners are a fantastic way to highlight flower arrangements, candles, centerpieces, and delicious foods atop stunning serving pieces. Napkins.com offers a variety of table runners in black, gold, silver, green, and burgundy. If these selections don’t quite meet your needs, look to plastic and paper tablecovers. Simply fold a rectangular tablecover in thirds, length-wise, and you have an instant tablerunner available in just about any color you can imagine.

1. Location: Choosing and using a natural, outdoor setting is a great way to honor the environment and conserve energy. Natural surroundings come with their own decor so you may only need to add simple pops of color, centerpieces, and decorations to complement the setting. Daylight is cheap and the perfect way to make an outdoor event shine. If needed, plan on providing covered areas or umbrellas so guests can stay out of strong sunshine. If the celebration is held outdoors at night, consider strings of cool LED lights that will add a twinkle and romance to the atmosphere. To limit the negative impact on the environment, try to hold a ceremony and reception in the same place so guests do not have to drive anywhere, thereby reducing carbon emission. Candles make wonderful accents on tables, but choose soy-based products because they are a renewable resource and they have a cleaner, longer burn. For indoor venues, check to see if lights can be turned down, doors can be opened for fresh air, and if surfaces can be cleaned with non-toxic, environmentally safe products.


2. Foods: For an eco-friendly party menu think local and try to purchase fresh produce from neighboring farmer's markets and vendors. This way, the food will taste better and possibly be sold at a better price. Depending on the time of year, look for seasonal fruits and vegetables and create a menu around those foods. Purchase baked goods and sweets from nearby bakeries. Meat markets might have meat from grass-fed animals and fresh farm eggs. Serve locally brewed beers, wines, and cheeses. By purchasing products made nearby, you have saved shipping costs and fuel used for shipping. Think about serving boneless meats so there will not be as much food waste. Serving finger foods usually means guests only consume what they want and do not throw away as much. And in the spirit of not wasting any food, send guests home with leftovers in our eco-friendly takeout containers. For really large occasions, team up with a food bank in advance so you can donate any leftovers.


3. Drinks and cocktails: Always serve water, but stay away from using water bottled in plastic containers. If you must have water bottles, use recyclable glass ones. Better yet, serve water from pitchers or drink dispensers and freeze chunks of seasonal fruit to use as ice cubes. Sodas served in aluminum cans are fine because the cans are recyclable. Choose organic coffees and teas, and check for coffee varieties that are shade-grown to support biodiversity. Again, locally produced wines and beers are more cost effective. Mix cocktails with seasonal fruits. For recycling bottles and cans, make sure to have attractive looking, clearly marked recycling containers next to trash receptacles.


4. Decorations: Local flowers and plants are the best for fresh floral arrangements and centerpieces. Think beyond just flowers and collect items from nature for accents—shells, twigs, grasses, rocks, seeds, trees cones, even garden vegetables. Get creative with nature. One of our favorite centerpiece ideas is to take simple potted plants, herbs, or flowers and arrange them down the middle of tables or around the venue. When the celebration is over, invite guests to take a pot home to enjoy or replant. Another eco-friendly decoration is candy that is bright,colorful, and arranged in bowls or containers on tables. Edible decorations are eaten or taken home and produce little waste. Some centerpieces can be saved, stored, and reused for another event. Surrounding centerpieces with lit soy candles adds ambiance, light, and style to any table.


5. Tableware: This is where Napkins.com can be a big help. We offer a wide variety of recycled and eco-friendly tableware made using sustainable practices that encourage users to rethink recycling and reach for the goal of eliminating as much waste as possible. The greenest choice would be reusable tableware, but for large groups they are not the most practical. Our Earth Wise Tree Free collection includes plates and bowls made from bagasse, a natural by-product of sugar cane processing. All bagasse products are compostable, microwaveable, and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 36 hours. These containers make a tasteful and socially responsible statement. Choose Nature's Greens Earth Wise Guest Towels or Beverage Napkins decorated with delicate floral designs, made from 100% recycled content and Green Seal certified. For more a more elegant appearance and feel in a dinner napkin, try our Linen-Like Natural Guest Towels for a sit-down affair. Check out our bulk serving items for reusable translucent trays, bowls, and divided serving dishes that can be rewashed and stored. If the event you are hosting or planning is more casual or needs some entertainment for children, Napkins.com offers numerous Economy and Dollar Wise paper placemats that feature 100% recycled material in a wonderful choice of colors and designs—look for seasonal, holiday, informational, or kid-friendly varieties.

Dressing up Event Spaces with Table Skirts

• If the table is against the wall, but in a corner, you will only need to measure the front and the exposed side.
• If the table is against a wall, but both sides are exposed, you will need to measure the front and both ends. This also applies to tables that are situated on an angle in a corner.
• If the table is against the wall with identically sized tables next to it in a line, you will only need to measure the front edge.
• If using for a round table, you will need to measure the complete circumference of the table. This also applies to using a rectangular or square table that is not against a wall, such as a wedding cake table, or a welcoming table displaying brochures or place settings.

1. Use a light-colored skirt like our White Plastic Tableskirt with warm-white fairy lights underneath to create a subtle glow. In addition, you can drape a length of cloth in a scallop pattern along the front and sides in a color that matches your event.
2. Once your tableskirt is in place, edge your buffet and dessert tables in fairy lights wrapped with tulle in a coordinating color. Use table skirt clips, self-adhesive tape, or fishing line to hold them in place.
3. Drape colorful garland over a dark-colored table skirt, like our Black Poly-Nylon Tableskirt.
4. Once the color of the table skirt has been decided, pin or glue flowers in a cascading design on it to create a unique look for the head table.
5. Use thumb tacks to layer two colors, like Lavender and Ivory, on an open wall and pin photos or memorabilia to them. It makes for an interesting conversation piece!
6. For gift or cake tables, use a bright table skirt like our Hot Magenta Plastic Tableskirt topped with gathered white tulle.
7. Feeling super creative? Layer multiple colors together like Pastel Blue, Periwinkle, and Navy tableskirts to create an ombre effect.

Kids Party Food

Finger Foods

• Watermelon Pops ' Simply skewer a wedge of this juicy fruit along with a paper baking cup to catch those pesky drips! The popsicle stick makes a great handle and keeps sticky fingers to a minimum.
• Deli Tray ' Just like the popular packaged lunch boxes, kids love snacking on meats and cheeses and making little sandwiches with crackers. A tray with simple deli offerings cut into bite-size pieces will have kids snacking away!
• Snack Mixes ' Naturally, kids are drawn to bite-size snacks like goldfish, chex mix, small graham cracker bears, and popcorn mixes. Avoid messes by pre-portioning out a scoop of your snacks in hot or cold paper cups that can easily be picked up and carried away.
• Fruit and Dip ' Encourage healthy eating choices with a round compartment tray of sliced fruit and a yummy dip, like peanut butter or a traditional sweet dip made with marshmallow fluff, cream cheese, and vanilla.

Main Course

• Corn Dog Muffins ' Simply fill muffin tins with corn bread mix and insert a chunk of hot dog in the center before baking. Now you have a fun twist on the all-time favorite corn dog! Make sure you provide dipping sauces like ketchup and mustard.
• Mac & Cheese Bites ' Make these kid-friendly sides by using muffin tins and a basic mac and cheese recipe. Line each space with a foil baking cup before filling up with some pasta and a little extra cheese sprinkled on the top. Bake until the cheese is melted and serve warm.
• Mini Pizzas ' Get your guests involved with the menu by allowing each child to make his or her own personal-sized pizza! This could really turn into a fun focal point and highlight of the party.
• Sliders and Mini Hot dogs ' Mini food is so popular now it's easy to find tiny hot dog and hamburger buns! Try making little cheeseburgers and cut hot dogs to lengths that will fit a small bun. Kids can dip the little offerings in their favorite condiment to cater to their own tastes.

Desserts

• Cupcake Cone ' Try baking your cupcakes inside of ice cream cones for a fun presentation. You can decorate the top of each cake to look like an ice cream swirl with different sprinkles and toppings.
• Rice Crispy Treats ' Another kid favorite! Use popsicle sticks to create-mess free handles and try dipping your marshmallow treats into chocolate and various sprinkles or chocolate chips for a fun update!
• S’mores Sticks ' Using a lollipop stick or popsicle stick, skewer two halves of a large marshmallow at the top. Dip each side in melted chocolate and sandwich between two graham crackers to create a ready-made campfire favorite!
• Milk 'n Cookies ' When it comes to kids birthday parties, everyone thinks of cake and cupcakes, but so many kids love a big chewy cookie and refreshing glass of milk! Dress up your milk glasses by dipping the rim in melted chocolate and brightly colored sprinkles for an extra special birthday treat.

Drinks

• Kool Aid Cubes ' This is a fun way to jazz up a simple glass of water! Freeze concentrated Kool Aid ahead of time and at the party, simply pop a few cubes in each glass. Not only does this look really cool to kids, but as the ice melts, the water will begin to taste like Kool Aid! Let kids create their own flavor combinations for an interactive experience.
• Juice Boxes ' This is great if you want a hassle-free beverage option. Try shopping at big-box stores for good deals on a large case of juice boxes with a variety of flavors. This will help to avoid spills and make clean up easy as well.
• Water ' it's inevitable that your guests are going to be running around and working up a thirst! Promote healthy choices by offering mini water bottles as an alternative to sugary choices. Make the bottles a fun option by allowing kids to write their names on them or cover with a creative party-themed label!

Instructions:

• Choose a party theme or general color scheme to guide your decorating and menu decisions.
• Comprise a guest list to have a general idea of how many people you will be entertaining. This allows you a little bit of time to add or cut down on the list before sending invitations out.
• Set a budget and stick to it, as it is very easy to go over budget when planning any event. It may help to decide how much money you would like to spend on decorations and break down food and tableware supply costs per person to keep yourself on track.
• If you have others helping you throw the party, DELEGATE! This is the best time to divide responsibilities and make sure everyone is on the same page about who is doing what. When all of your bases are covered, you can avoid last-minute panic .
• Decide on and book a location if needed. Many banquet halls and facilities that are available for party rentals are booked well in advance so make sure to do this as soon as possible to give yourself time to choose a backup if necessary. Consider the weather when deciding on an indoor or outdoor event. If you are planning on an outdoor party be sure to have a plan B in case of inclement weather.
• Scout out and book entertainment if applicable.

• Finalize your guest list and purchase invitations to allow shipping times to you as well as time for you to fill out or print them.
• Start thinking about table and room décor, menu ideas, and commit to a theme or color scheme.
• Purchase invitations and get a head start on filling them out or printing them.
• Mail out invitations if you are throwing a formal event.

• Mail out your invitations if you are throwing a more casual affair.
• Make sure to have one person keeping track of RSVPs to avoid any confusion.
• Create a rough schedule of activities that will take place at your event. This will help keep things on track. You may need to add or remove some things once you see how much time you actually have.
• Place your orders with local vendors such as the bakery, florist, and rentals like tables, chairs, and tents, if needed.
• Purchase all of your disposable party supplies including tableware and decorations.
• Purchase and begin assembling favors. This is not something that you want to leave until last minute as there may be extra processing time when ordering favors and you want to take care when assembling them. This is the gift you are giving to guests to thank them for coming so they should look like they were chosen and put together with care.
• Create a seating plan and print place cards if applicable.

• Practice your table settings to make sure they are going to look the way you imagined.
• Purchase any additional party supplies you might have forgotten or extras if you didn’t plan for enough guests.
• Kindly call guests who haven’t responded to the RSVP to get a more accurate final count.
• Check in with your caterer to make sure everything is on track for the menu or purchase any non-perishable food you can if cooking yourself.

• Confirm all rental and entertainment arrangements as well as special orders like fresh flowers and the cake or desserts.
• Delegate any last-minute tasks that you don’t have time for.
• But any fresh food needed, if you are cooking for the party yourself.
• Unpackage any tableware. Plastic storage bins will come in handy for keeping these items organized and clean. Lay out paper and plastic tablecovers flat to allow creases to relax.

• Pick up any food items that are not being delivered, as well as flowers, balloons, etc.
• Decorate your event space if possible. The more you can get done before the day of the event the better

• Prepare food and beverages and set up the bar and buffet, if needed.
• Set up outdoor decorations, tables, chairs, and dress the tables.
• Set favors out at each place setting or create a favor display.
• Make sure to give yourself enough time to get ready for the event so guests don’t show up and you aren’t even dressed!
• Have fun!

How to Serve  a Large Thanksgiving Meal

Planning Timeline Tips For A Thanksgiving Meal

• How many guests will be attending? Send invites out 6 weeks before so you can get a proper head count before shopping.
• Purchase non-perishable items as soon as possible and store until needed. Get fall and autumn disposable tableware early from Napkins.com by ordering two to three weeks before the event. Start gathering supplies for centerpieces and decorations.
• Plan the menu and decide how you will cook all the food. Try to plan for appetizers, one to two meats, three to four sides, desserts, and beverages. When you have an accurate head count you can determine the amounts for each course and how much oven, freezer, or refrigerator space you will need.
• Two weeks before, cook items you can freeze such as pie dough, bread, homemade turkey stock, or dessert bars.
• The week before buy frozen turkeys and allow about 5 pounds per day for defrosting. A 20 lb frozen turkey would need at least 4 days to defrost in the fridge.
• Three days before you can make cranberry relish and store in the refrigerator.
• Two days before defrost the pie crusts. The day before make the pies and store custard-based goods in fridge.
• Mashed potatoes can be made a day ahead, refrigerated, and microwaved when ready to serve.
• Wash and dry salad greens the day before. Cut up salad extras and store in plastic baggies. Store everything in the fridge and mix together before serving.
• Set the table the day or night before or assign that job to someone else.
• The morning of Thanksgiving prepare and stuff the turkey and roast. A cooked ham can be warmed up in foil in the same oven if there is room. Consider roasting a turkey the day before, slicing, and rewarming the meat for extras.
• While the turkey is roasting, chill beverages, set out appetizers, prepare other side dishes, and arrange the relish platter.
• When the turkey comes out of the oven, prepare the gravy, reheat side dishes, and warm up the bread or rolls.
• Carve the meats and serve!
• After dinner, make coffee and whipped cream to serve with the desserts

Disposable Products Make Thanksgiving Dinner A Success

• Our disposable Thanksgiving tableware is bright, colorful, and filled with the shades and symbols of the season. Consider using sturdy Autumn Disposable Paper Plates, which come in at least two different sizes. One case of dinner plates includes 96 pieces, and if you have a group of almost 50, that count is perfect. Guests might go back for seconds and want a fresh plate so this quantity assures plenty of dishes. Two cases of the dessert-sized dishes might seem like too many for 50 guests, but consider they can be used for hors d’oeuvres, relishes, rolls, salads, and desserts. Autumn Themed Hot/Cold Cups are also sold in cases of 96 and are perfect for all beverages.
• Wholesale Thanksgiving tableware themes have coordinating Autumn Design Paper Napkins that are sold in case quantities of 192 or 216. Lunch napkins are the standard size quarter-fold napkins perfect for mealtime, and the beverage style napkins are ideal for appetizers, cocktails, or desserts. Having extra napkins for substantial meals is always a great idea. Guests tend to grab more than one if they are stacked at a buffet or bar so more is always better. Larger napkins can be wrapped around cutlery before an event and set atop a stack of plates at place settings for a balanced, decorative look.
• No need to worry about enough glasses for beverages or cocktails when you purchase wholesale disposable plastic stemware. A case of 5 ounce plastic wine glasses includes 72 glasses made of medium weight BPA free plastic that are #6 recyclable or disposable. These are the perfect size for wine for the Thanksgiving meal and elegant enough to impress guests. Also available are 12 ounce stemmed plastic glasses ideal for serving ice water to guests during the meal and adding a stylish touch to the tableware.
• Tablecover options include Autumn Design Tablecovers and  solid colored disposable tablecovers in plastic or poly-lined paper that provide a wonderful wash of autumn color and protection for the table surface below. There are plenty of options to drape banquet-sized tables or round tables and add a delightful accent to complement themed tableware.

How Much Food For How Many?

• Appetizer—try three to four cheese balls with crackers. Let cheese balls sit out covered for a couple hours to soften. Offer punch, wine, or cocktails.
• Plan on ½ to 1 pound of meat per person. Two 20 lb turkeys will provide enough meat for the crowd. If you add a ham, guests will try both, so plan accordingly.
• Cook extra stuffing separately and consider using a crockpot to save oven space. ½ to ¾ cups per person is about 25 cups of stuffing or 3 casserole- =sized dishes.
• Gravy—plan on 1/3 cup per person. You can use chicken stock for gravy.
• Dinner rolls—plan on one to two per person. For a group of 50, get seven dozen rolls.
• Potatoes—use 12 pounds of potatoes for 50 people.
• Green beans—8 pounds for 50 people. If making the popular green bean casserole, one 3-quart casserole serves 12 people.
• Salad—Eight to 10 heads of lettuce for 50 people. Offer with bottled salad dressing.
• Relish tray—get cans or jars of: green or black olives, sweet and dill pickles, baby corn, pickled green beans, and onions. Chill cans/jars and arrange on trays before the meal.
• Dessert—for 50 you would need four to five pies, assuming 10 slices per pie. Cheesecake, cookie bars, or brownies can be cut into more servings.

Wedding Napkins on a Budget

How to Keep To The Budget

Types Of Napkins For The Reception

• 1-ply and 2-ply napkins are the cheapest of the paper selections, but they may not be absorbent enough for the main course or some foods. The 2-ply napkins would work best for the cocktail or coffee bar where the servings are small, spills are smaller, and the amount of time needed to use the napkin is less. Guests use the napkin and then throw it away, hardly taking the time to look at it. These are the perfect spots to use coordinating solid colors which are less expensive than printed design napkins.
• 3-ply napkins are the best choice for utility and absorbency. This paper napkin type is better used for the main course served at the reception, whether it is a sit down meal or buffet style because the napkins are bigger you will need less per guest. Choose a square 1/4 fold or a rectangular 1/8 fold style, depending on your preference. Plan for 1 or 2 napkins per guest.
• If you still want to upgrade and the budget allows, we offer a Linen-Like napkin that is soft and absorbent and looks and feels like real linen. These napkins are higher quality, made from an airlaid material, and are durable enough for an entire meal. These are still cheaper than real linen and are easier to clean up, but are just as elegant. Set them out with the main course only—guests will love the quality and feel.

How To Add Elegance And Stay Within Budget

• Arrange beverage napkins in pleasing way. Fan them out on the dessert table, place them in rows, or gently twist a stack so individual napkins show. These methods make it easier to pick up just one. Place them in pretty baskets all over the room or venue so guests do not have to search for them.
• Get some napkins monogrammed with the couple's initials but not all of them. Remember, people tend to use and throw napkins away. Personalization might be a better budget choice if it is done on favors or souvenirs that guests can take home.
• Use absorbent paper guest towels in the powder rooms and place them in a decorative container. They are cheaper than real towels, very soft, pleasing to the eye, and disposable.
• Consider a basic napkin fold for the larger paper napkins and set them on the plate or next to the plate. Again, use a simple fold technique because it will be less time consuming and the pretty arrangement shows that you care about the guests’ experience.
• Roll napkins and tie with a ribbon and add a sprig of greenery or a small flower or favor—an instant, delicate eye pleaser.
• Add elegance with color. Napkins.com offers over 30 different colors of napkins and introducing a pop of color affects the mood of guests and brightens everything up. Color matching and consistency between napkin styles assures that different sized napkins will be the same tone or shade.

Simple Ideas For Cutting Down On Waste

• Place napkins in pretty arrangements. When they are separated and spread out guests are more likely to pick just one.
• When serving drinks, have a server pass out one napkin with each drink. Or use the beverage napkin like a coaster and set the napkin out with the glass or cup on top for the customer to pick up.
• Set the table with napkins and utensils for each guest, instead of having a basket or dispenser on the table.
• Pre-wrap cutlery in napkins for the table or buffet service. Tie with a ribbon that matches the bride's wedding colors.
• Set out smaller stacks of napkins and have someone restock them as needed.

4. Customer care included with every purchase—friendly, helpful staff

Wedding Planning Timeline

Twelve+ Months Ahead

• Create a binder filled with inspiration from your favorite bridal, lifestyle, gardening, and food magazines. Now is also the time to start researching photographers, bands, and florists.
• Budget  ' determine what you can realistically spend taking into account family contributions as well as your own.
• Decide on the perfect venue ' will it all be in one location or do you want separate venues for the ceremony and reception? How soon you need to book can certainly depend on the setting. Remember that some venues get booked over a year in advance.
• Choose the perfect person to officiate the wedding. There are so many options these days that this can really be a reflection of the couple's personalities. However, we do recommend someone who has experience officiating.
• Guest list ' hammering out the guest list with your fiancée goes hand in hand with determining both the budget and the venue.
• Determine who will be in your wedding and have an engagement party if desired.

Eight Months Ahead

• Hire the photographer.
• Book the entertainment.
• If catering is not offered by the venue, it's time to select a caterer.
• Have engagement photos taken if you would like to send engagement announcements or post one in the paper.
• Choose a dress ' bride's will generally need to allow enough time for two to three fittings before the wedding.
• Book blocks of hotel rooms for out-of-town guests. Offer a choice of a few different price points.
• Register with your favorite retailer. You may also want to create an online registry making things as simple as possible for family and friends.
• Create a wedding website to keep everyone well informed and excited for the big day.

Six Months Ahead

• Purchase invitations ' you may also choose to send out a save-the-date card at this time.
• Select bridesmaid's dresses ' choosing a dress color and allowing the bridesmaid's to find their favorite style is becoming increasingly popular and can mean less of a headache for you.
• Meet with officiant to discuss ceremony details.
• Book any transportation that will be needed for traveling from the ceremony to the reception.
• Draw up a schedule of events.
• Purchase wedding bands.
• Begin your honeymoon planning ' be sure passports are up to date for out-of-the-country travel.

Four Months Ahead

• Choose any music that will be incorporated into the ceremony.
• Attend several cake tastings and decide on a baker and a cake design.
• Decide on attire for the groomsmen ' whether they are renting or purchasing, it's good to provide plenty of time to avoid any last-minute challenges.
• Plan the rehearsal dinner ' traditionally, this will be done by the groom's family and takes place the evening before the wedding.
• Finalize hair and make-up decisions ' visit a variety of salons for trial runs and take plenty of pictures to help you choose the best look.

Two Months Ahead

• Send out the invitations ' wedding invitation etiquette calls for them to be mailed out six to eight weeks in advance. If you are having a destination wedding send them 3 months ahead. Provide a RSVP cutoff that allows plenty of time for caterers and venues to have firm numbers.
• Touch base with all of your vendors to make sure things are moving along smoothly. You’ll want to finalize menu, music, and floral options.
• Place wedding announcement in the paper. Be sure to check for any restrictions on the types of photographs you can use.
• Write any personal vows and choose any readings you may want incorporated into the ceremony.
• Finalize a schedule of events and provide it to the florist, band, caterer, officiant, and any family members that will be offering their assistance on the big day.

One Month Ahead

• Enter RSVP information into a guest list database ' this is the time to start personally contacting those you haven’t heard from to find out if they are planning on attending. As the guest list comes together, start organizing the seating chart.
• Apply for your marriage license ' check with your local city or county clerk's office for FAQs related to obtaining the license.
• Along the way you have probably had a few dress fittings and this process should be just about complete.
• If you are planning on cutting or coloring your hair, now is a great time. Don’t save this for the last minute!
• Print programs, menu cards, place cards, etc.
• Confirm all details with vendors.
• Enjoy a bachelorette party or bridal shower. These events are generally thrown by the maid of honor, a friend, coworker, or anyone else who is close with the bride. Old tradition says family of the bride should not throw showers, but these days it's common and accepted for a sister, aunt, or cousin to throw a shower. Really, the only rule here is that the bride should not throw herself a shower.

Week of The Wedding

• Reconfirm arrival times and schedules with groomsmen, bridesmaids, and all vendors.
• Delegate “day of"" tasks to any family members or friends who have offered to help. Although you are a DIY bride, you will want to have others doing all the work on the special day.
• After any final fittings, the wedding dress should be ready to be picked up.
• Give a final guest list to the caterer that should include as accurate a head count as possible. This is where keeping a guest list database is really helpful.
• Think about post wedding and start packing for your honeymoon!

The Day Before

• Work out any kinks during the wedding rehearsal and enjoy family and friends at the rehearsal dinner. Rehearsal dinners generally include the immediate family, wedding party, and officiant.
• To remain in the good graces of your bridesmaids and groomsmen, present them with a simple gift expressing your thanks during the rehearsal dinner

The Wedding Day

• Happily ever after starts here!
