The Handcrafted Wedding: Napkin Ring Ideas

We all entertain in different forms.  Some may host small groups of friends, dinner parties, or maybe the occasional shower.  That is part of the reason I love “The Handcrafted Wedding”. It brings us so many ideas that can be used outside of a wedding.

These ideas for napkin rings are simple, elegant, and pefect for your next party.  You can customize your napkin rings with artwork on cardstock, ribbon, buttons, and herbs.  Your guests will appreciate the simple touches you put into your table setting.

The texture and the color of the beeswax candles are the perfect way to add a little something extra to your tabletop decor.  And nothing can instantly transform your meal into subtle elegance like candlelight.
