Let's Make a Great First Impression! The Way Napkins are Folded is Important♡

When guests enter the reception venue, the first thing that catches their eye is... the table décor of the seats they will be sitting at! Especially, the napkin placed right in the center of the table makes a huge difference in the first impression guests have of the reception, based on whether it’s folded in an elaborate way or not.*

So this time, we'll introduce a catalog of napkin folding and coordinating ideas for guest tables at receptions, inspired by senior brides on Instagram!♡

Learning from Senior Brides! Napkin Folding Idea 1♡ Mickey & Minnie

If you are having a Disney-themed wedding, this fold is a must-try! It’s a napkin designed with Mickey and Minnie! Though it’s becoming a staple at recent receptions, it remains cute and visually stunning! More venues seem to be offering the option to fold napkins into Mickey and Minnie for free.*

Learning from Senior Brides! Napkin Folding Idea 2♡ Donald

And speaking of Mickey and Minnie, this character also cannot be missed! It’s the bright and playful Donald Duck! It’s amazing how one napkin can represent Donald's hat and big beak opening up!♡

Learning from Senior Brides! Napkin Folding Idea 3♡ Ribbon

A napkin folded into a ribbon shape is also incredibly cute! When you take a photo of the entire table, it looks fantastic in pictures and brings an overall festive atmosphere! Decorating the knot part with a napkin ring could also be wonderful!*

Learning from Senior Brides! Napkin Folding Idea 4♡ Tuxedo

An idea for welcoming male guests with a stylish tuxedo-shaped napkin is fantastic! In fact, if you look closely at the bow tie, it decorates with ribbon pasta, which is popular as a wedding favor! This playful napkin coordination is GOOD◎

Learning from Senior Brides! Napkin Folding Idea 5♡ Heart

A simple heart-shaped napkin is also cute! The bride in this photo drew faces on the place cards and combined them with heart-shaped napkins! Since it's not a fold that takes up much height or width, it's also charming to display alongside items like place cards.*

Learning from Senior Brides! Napkin Folding Idea 6♡ Shell

The shell design napkin is perfect for summer receptions, looking refreshing and cool! The design features a shell that appears to be opening, and by placing a small bottle or craft paper in front of it, you can create a beach-like atmosphere that’s stylish!*

Learning from Senior Brides! Napkin Folding Idea 7♡ Bunny

The bunny design napkin folding is wonderful too! It can look like a peace sign, so guests who see this will surely feel HAPPY! If you can make a bunny, you might also be able to create designs for bears and dogs!*

Learning from Senior Brides! Napkin Folding Idea 8♡ Polo Shirt

We previously introduced the tuxedo napkin fold, but doesn’t the slightly casual polo shirt design also look cute?♡ Plus, the ribbon for the menu fits perfectly between the collar and neckline, which is a nice touch!*

Learning from Senior Brides! Napkin Folding Idea 9♡ Candle

The fold called "Bright Candle" is just too cute! The tip that sticks out gives off a lovely feeling, resembling a candle flame...♡ It’s wrapped with a thin ribbon for a delicate finish!♡
