Wedding cocktail napkins — the bar napkin guests remember.
Wedding cocktail napkins are the small napkin at the bar, on the tray during cocktail hour, at the champagne toast, and on the dessert station. Guests hold them for hours — that's why couples invest in monogrammed cocktail napkins in hot foil (gold, rose gold, silver, or Pantone-matched color) on airlaid or Doble Punto paper. Cocktail size 3.94 inches folded. From 20 units in full color — no wedding is too small. Free artwork proof in 4 hours. 12-day delivery to any US wedding venue: NYC hotels, Napa vineyards, Miami beaches, Aspen resorts, Charleston plantations, Hudson Valley farms.
Starting from $0.15 per unit at volume · every order quoted to your quantity, quality and artwork.

The 4 wedding moments where cocktail napkins matter.
Cocktail hour bar
Guests receive their first drink on a monogrammed cocktail napkin. 100-200 napkins per 100 guests (they take a second when moving between stations). Foil monogram or wedding date makes the napkin a keepsake.
Champagne toast
Every guest gets a fresh cocktail napkin with their champagne flute for the toast. 1 napkin per guest, foil-stamped with the couple's monogram + wedding date is the classic look.
Dessert station
Late-night dessert bar, wedding cake service, or coffee station — cocktail napkins matched to the wedding palette pull the tablescape together. Consider 1.5 napkins per guest.
Welcome bag / bar cart
Hotel welcome bags with a monogrammed cocktail napkin wrapped around a bottle of water or in a snack bag. Multi-property weddings (Friday welcome + Saturday reception) usually order 3x the guest count.

How many wedding cocktail napkins do I need for 100 guests?
For a full wedding (cocktail hour + toast + dessert): 300-400 cocktail napkins for 100 guests. Cocktail hour uses ~200 (guests take a second when moving). Toast uses ~100 (1 per guest). Dessert station uses ~100-150. Buy 10-15% extra as buffer for spills and mementos guests keep.
What's the standard wedding cocktail napkin size?
3.94 x 3.94 inches folded (7.87 x 7.87 inches open). Fits perfectly on a cocktail glass, tray, or dessert plate. Same size as bar cocktail napkins — TNC's cocktail size is the wedding standard.
What foil color is most popular for weddings?
Gold foil is the most requested (classic, warm, contrasts on any paper color). Rose gold is #2 (romantic, on-trend). Silver is #3 (modern, clean). Custom Pantone-matched foil available for weddings with specific brand palettes.
Can I get wedding cocktail napkins with our monogram AND wedding date?
Yes — the classic layout is monogram in larger foil above, wedding date in smaller foil below. Also common: monogram + wedding location, monogram + wedding hashtag, or a short phrase ("Cheers to the Smiths").
Which paper colors can we choose?
White, ivory, and ecru are the classic wedding cocktail napkin colors. Blush is trending. TNC also offers black (edgy urban weddings), gold foiled on charcoal (modern), and Pantone-matched paper for weddings with color themes.
How far before the wedding should I order?
Send artwork 4-6 weeks before your wedding date. Standard production is 12 business days. Rush 5-day available if you're within 3 weeks — surcharge applies. Add a week buffer for shipping to venue.
Do you deliver to the wedding venue?
Yes — we ship directly to your wedding venue, hotel receiving dock, wedding planner's office, or your home. Include the delivery address + contact + desired delivery date in your quote request.
What's the minimum order for a wedding?
20 units for Full Color (digital CMYK, printed on white napkins) and 50 units for Deluxe Hot Stamp (single-color foil). Runs go up to 1,000,000 units per design, with 12-business-day US delivery.
What are the most affordable personalized wedding napkins?
TNC's 2-Ply cocktail napkins with single-color hot foil monogram are the most affordable personalized wedding napkins. At 100-500 unit orders, per-napkin cost drops significantly. Cheapest option: 2-Ply white with a full-color monogram, MOQ 20 (full color) · 50 (foil) (gold foil starts at 50) — perfect for micro-weddings, engagement parties, or wedding-adjacent showers.
Are custom napkins cheaper than linen rental for wedding receptions?
For weddings under 200 guests, custom-printed napkins from TNC are typically 40-70% cheaper per napkin than linen rental. Example: 150-guest wedding cocktail hour: airlaid monogrammed ~$1.20/napkin (buy + keep as memento) vs linen ~$2.50/napkin (rent + return). Plus guests take the printed napkins home as keepsakes.
What's the cheapest way to get personalized wedding cocktail napkins?
The most affordable option: 2-Ply paper, single-color hot foil (gold or silver), single monogram design, 100-500 unit order. Fully avoids per-napkin surcharges: no rush fee (order 4+ weeks ahead), no design fee (send a print-ready file), no multiple SKUs (one napkin type covers all wedding moments).
