DIY Custom Napkins: How to Use Rubber Stamps for Table Settings

How to Use a Custom Rubber Stamp to Make Beautiful Napkins

When entertaining, it’s often the smallest details that leave the most lasting impression. A thoughtfully placed flower arrangement, a carefully folded linen, or a charming napkin can speak to the care and creativity of the host. One of my favorite ways to add that extra layer of beauty to a table setting is with custom-stamped napkins.

Best of all, this simple project requires no bulk orders, no excessive expense, just a lovely custom rubber stamp, a good ink pad, and your choice of napkins. In just a few minutes, you can create something personal, polished, and entirely your own.

Why Rubber Stamps Are Ideal for Napkin Customization

A custom rubber stamp is a versatile tool you’ll reach for again and again. With a single design, you can create napkins suited to every kind of gathering. Whether it’s an intimate brunch, a holiday dinner, or a festive birthday celebration. Because the stamp is reusable, it becomes a staple in your entertaining toolkit, ready to be brought out for each new occasion.

Endless Possibilities for Every Celebration

Your stamp can be tailored to the theme and season of your event:

• Coastal Charm: A delicate seashell for a breezy summer picnic.

• Harvest Table: A pumpkin or autumn leaf for Thanksgiving dinner.

• Timeless Romance: Your initials or monogram for an anniversary.

• Playful Fun: A whimsical illustration for a children’s party.

With just one thoughtful design, you can bring your napkins from functional to delightful! It’s a small gesture that reflects your personal style and makes any table feel more special!

Lobster Buoy Pops for a Shell-abration! 🦞🍫

 

When planning a special celebration, the little details make all the difference, especially when it comes to party favors! For my parents’ unforgettable 50th anniversary shell-abration, I paired handcrafted charm with coastal sweetness by combining delicious chocolate made by Buoy Pops with custom handmade lobster tags!

The chocolates, made by the talented team at Buoy Pops, are shaped like miniature lobster buoys and wrapped in bold nautical colors, red, white, and blue. Each one was tied with a ribbon and topped with a custom red lobster tag.

These lobster-themed favors were a huge hit with our guests and made the celebration feel extra thoughtful and festive. The combination of gourmet chocolate and handmade design brought our coastal theme to life in the sweetest way.

Whether you’re hosting a lobster boil, beach party, nautical wedding, or coastal anniversary celebration, this favor idea is a fun way to add a personal and handmade touch.

Happy 50th, Mom & Dad! 🦞💙

Sweet & Simple Spring Grazing Charcuterie Packaging

Sweet & Simple Easter Grazing Boxes

This Easter, I wanted to make something fun for the kids in my family that felt a little extra. Something simple but still special from my family. These little grazing boxes came together so easily, and they ended up being one of my favorite things to make this Spring season.

They’re packed in pastel egg cartons and filled with all the treats I know the kids love. They’re cute, easy to assemble, and just joyful to give.

Here’s what I tucked inside:

• One Choceur Chocolate Egg with Spoon, Milk Crème – Okay, this one is a star. It’s a creamy milk chocolate egg that comes with its own tiny spoon. I couldn’t resist stamping YUM right on the spoon. Just a little touch, but it made it feel so fun. I put candy grass on the bottom too!

• Chocolate eggs and gummy bunnies for some extra candy yum!

• Cheese stars and yogurt-covered pretzels for a little salty balance

• Fresh blackberries – because I always like to add something juicy and real and the kids in my family love blackberries! You can add other berries like raspberries, strawberries. 

• And right on top? The sweetest little bunny tail sticker. It made the whole thing feel playful and pulled together

And because I can’t help myself, I stamped Happy Easter inside each carton lid. It took two seconds but made it feel so personal.

Let’s talk about the stamps

Rubber stamps are one of my favorite ways to make something feel thoughtful. They're easy to use and instantly add that homemade charm.

Whether you're packaging up treats for your kids, neighbors, or customers, a custom stamp adds a little joy. It says, “I put love into this.” And that’s what makes something memorable.

They’re quick to make, super customizable, and just fun. You can tailor them to whatever snacks your little ones love most, and they’re perfect for Easter baskets, school gifts, or even as a sweet surprise on the breakfast table.

Sometimes, it really is the simple things that bring the most joy. A yummy chocolate egg. A box filled with tiny surprises. That’s the kind of happy I want to hold on to. Happy Spring friends!
