Embellish party favors with paper napkins
What you need:
- Container for favors - we used mini and small treat buckets
- Paper napkins - we used glamour gray
- Ribbon - we used black satin edged organza ribbon
- Free Printables
Directions:
Cut a sliver of the napkin and add it to your party favors - we used the Black Grandeur Paper Dinner Napkins. Carry out the theme by incorporating the same napkin in each place setting. From there, tie a black ribbon around the favor to finish it. Adding a printable to your favors makes them look professional and beautiful.
Smarty Party Theme Idea: "Meant to Bee" is an adorable motif for a wedding. Decorate with yellow, black, and white and maybe even give your guests honey as a wedding favor.
Wrap gifts or favors in a paper napkin
What you need:

Directions:
If you are planning on having a gift table at your next event, wrapping small presents in paper napkins and ribbon is a wonderful way to coordinate your gift table with your guest tables. If you are not having a gift table, you can wrap your favors in paper napkins instead.
Smarty Party Theme Idea: Having a gender reveal bash? A "What Will Baby Bee" themed reveal party is sure to awe your guests. Have someone put something pink or blue inside of your napkin wrapped box (maybe even some confetti?!) and open it in front of your guests for the big reveal.
