60th anniversary napkins for the diamond year
Personalized napkins printed with both names, the original wedding date and the number 60. Sixty years is the diamond anniversary, which suggests silver, clear tones and cool neutrals rather than the warm gold of a fiftieth.
Very few couples reach this one, and the parties tend to be daytime, seated and full of people who have known them for most of their own lives. The details are worth doing properly.
Recreate the original
If the wedding invitation still exists, send us a photograph of it. Sixty years is long enough that the typeface itself has become a period piece, and setting the anniversary napkins to match is a quiet thing that guests notice.

60th anniversary 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 tea, drinks and cake. A diamond anniversary is usually a long daytime event, so order generously on the smaller size.
What color is a 60th anniversary?
Diamond, which in practice means silver, clear tones and cool neutrals: white, ivory, pale gray, silver foil. It reads noticeably different from the warm gold of a fiftieth.
Can you recreate the original wedding invitation?
Often, yes. Send the best photograph or scan you have. A typeface from sixty years ago is a period piece in itself, and matching it is worth the effort at this milestone.
Can I use a photograph from the wedding day?
Yes. Send the highest resolution scan of the original print; we can improve the contrast and repair some damage before you see it on the proof.
How far ahead should I order?
Three to four weeks, and longer if an invitation or a photograph needs recreating. There is almost always time at this milestone, so there is no reason to rush it.
