Valentine’s Day Napkins

Valentine's table

Today I’m sharing my Valentine’s table with you. Specifically, my Valentine’s Day Napkins. No one could be more surprised than me!

Full disclosure: I’m not much of a Valentine’s Day celebrator. I don’t like chocolate. Hey, don’t judge! I’m not really a sweet eater, with one exception. If you are standing in front of iced sugar cookies, girl you best get out of the way! I tell you all of this because I don’t normally decorate a lot for Valentine’s Day except for my kitchen table.

As you can see from the above picture, my Valentine’s table decor is usually pretty simple

This is what I started with.

And to be honest, it was fine.

Cute, colorful and functional.

But, it bugged me.

I mean, where’s the fun in that?

So I did what we all do and hit Pinterest to see what fun ways I could spice up my Valentines’ table.

Specifically, with my napkins.

I started with fun and sweet envelope napkins.

These are fun because you can tuck sweet Valentine messages inside the flap!

Fun, but still not what I wanted.

Then I stumbled upon a heart napkin fold.

Once I folded one, I knew that it was a winner!

The only thing hard about this fold was getting the top of the heart to stay folded.

I had to iron them to stay folded under.

Honestly, if you have a lot of napkins to fold I would totally skip this design.

However, since I only had four, it was doable.

I love how my Valentine’s Day napkins and table turned out.

This table really is me.

Fun, colorful and simple.

P.S. I did break down and buy a few chocolate truffles for chocolate lovers in the family.

It is Valentine’s Day after all!

Until next time….
