50th birthday napkins for half a century

Personalized napkins printed with the name, the number 50 and the birth year. A fiftieth is the first birthday people throw a proper party for rather than a night out, usually with a seated meal, a speech and guests from several decades of someone's life.

Gold foil on black, cream or deep green is the palette this milestone asks for. Fifty and fabulous, golden fifty, or simply the number with a year underneath, which needs no help from a slogan.

Two sizes, two jobs

Dinner size for the table, since a fiftieth is more likely to be a sit-down than any earlier milestone. Cocktail size for the bar and the cake. Most people ordering for a fiftieth take both.

50th birthday napkin questions

How many do I need?

One to two dinner napkins per guest for a seated meal, plus two to three cocktail napkins each for the bar and cake. For 60 guests, roughly 90 dinner and 150 cocktail napkins.

What wording works?

Fifty and fabulous, golden fifty, cheers to 50 years, or the number with the birth year beneath. At this milestone the number on its own, set well, is usually stronger than a slogan.

Which size?

Both. Dinner for the table, cocktail for the bar. A fiftieth is the first birthday where a seated meal is the norm rather than the exception, so the larger size earns its place.

Foil or standard print?

Gold foil, almost always. It is the milestone the finish was made for, and gold on black or on cream reads as considered rather than as party-shop.

Can I put a photograph on them?

Yes, and at a fiftieth an old photograph lands better than a current one. Send the highest resolution scan you have; we can clean it up before it goes on the proof.
