Announcement
***Shipping Update: Due to the holiday, we will ship all orders received by 8pm EST Wednesday, March 27th by Thursday, March 28th at Noon. Any orders received after 8pm EST March 27th, will ship on Monday, April 1st.
***We ship quickly!! We try to work with all timelines - send us a message and let's see what we can do. We often beat our shipping timelines. Also, Etsy provides an arrival date based on THEIR calculations, not ours. Packages often arrive much quicker!
***We have paper necessities for new beginnings, once in a lifetime occasions and those days we honor each year.
We would enjoy being a small part of your celebrations and parties and are happy to look through our collection if you don't find what you are looking for in the shop:)***
--> Let's work together! We can't wait to celebrate with you and help pick out the perfect napkin and plate combo for birthday parties, baby showers, and work with newly engaged couples and brides to be in 2023 and beyond. We often ship faster than the times shown too. Message us anytime!
--> Our vendors are experiencing supply chain issues with many of our products. We try to keep a large quantity of colors in stock and available but it is proving to be difficult. We will keep our listings up to date and if we are unable to fulfill a color, please understand we are doing the best we can with these shortages.
--> We've had a very positive experience with the USPS but do note that there have been reported delays on packages on occasion due to the pandemic, seasonal weather, postal staff shortages and increased online ordering. Please order early to prevent disappointment! We ship faster than the times shown and most items ship free and we do everything in our power to get orders out quickly. However, we lose control of the package once mailed :( We completely understand the frustration but as long as we meet our processing times, we cannot be held responsible for carrier delays which are beyond our control.
--> You CAN mix and match designs and colors! Just reach out or make a note in the "notes to seller" section upon checking out.
--> No polka dots, no problem! All of our napkins/favor bags can be made without.
--> PLEASE make sure you have updated your address!! We ship to the address provided when you purchase.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
We are happy to create custom orders just for you in the colors you desire. If you have a theme and do not see a stamp in our shop, reach out. We have quite a collection and are happy to look through it. We are unable to personalize with names, phrases or dates.
Sizing and Ply Details
We offer cocktail napkins (5 in. x 5 in.) and luncheon napkins in select colors (6.5 in. x 6.5 in.). We are unable to put polka dots on our luncheon size napkins however customers often buy cocktail paired with luncheon to get the textured look and feel! All napkins are 2-ply and when embossed, will compress.
Glassine bags measure 4.75 in. x 6.75 in. - perfect for treats and cookies!
Polka Dots or Plain
We just love polka dots but understand that not all customers do. If you'd prefer stamped only, we can most certainly create them for you. Please make sure you enter "plain/no polka dots" in the personalization field when checking out.
Napkin Colors
You can mix and match colors! Just make a note to us on your order form or reach out via a conversation.
Our color chart is available in each listing and we try to pair many color options together throughout our shop. If you would like to see shades together, we are happy to take a photo and share. If you don't know the exact colors you want, ask us! We have an eye for color pairings and are happy to offer suggestions.
All pictures in our shop aim to reflect the true color of the item however monitors and computer settings will vary customer to customer. If you do have a question about color, we do offer samples for purchase.
Ink Colors
All ink shown in our photos is dark brown as it goes with most décor. We do offer black and navy ink as well but they will look different than our photos. If you would like to see a sample before purchase, let us know.
Please note the ink color you would like in the personalization field upon check out. All orders will be made with dark brown ink unless indicated.
Amount of Napkins
How many napkins do you need for your event? Industry standards show on average guests will use 2-3 cocktail napkins and 1-2 luncheon napkins. For an event with 50 people, we would recommend a purchase of 100 cocktail napkins.
Gift wrapping and packaging
We are happy to package our products for a gift. Just ask!
Hand Stamped, Not Printed
Our products are hand stamped, not printed, which gives them their unique and whimsical look and feel. We take great pride in our work but do note that due to the handmade nature of our products, all images will not be the same. We do our best to align and ink each napkin the same. We will never, ever send a product that does not meet our standards!
If you have a question about the size of a stamp, please reach out as well as they do vary.
We stamp our products in the lower, right hand corner. If you would like a different placement, please reach out prior to purchase and we will work with you on the location desired.
Multiple Stamped Designs
Can you have multiple designs in one order? Absolutely!! We love doing a mix of designs and seeing what our customers come up with. In the notes to seller, simply list what you'd like and we will reach out if we should have any questions.
If I don’t fill out the personalization field, what happens to my order?
We have a custom personalization field upon check out for our customers. This field contains two questions asking if you’d like polka dots or plain napkins. The other asks if you’d like brown, black or navy ink.
If these questions are not answered, your order will be made with polka dots and brown ink.
Please make sure you fill out this field! We do our best to create orders quickly and want you to get exactly what you want.
