Gocco Cocktail Napkins
August 24, 2008 · Posted in diy, good things, gocco, unique details by ami elizabeth
So many of these adorable napkins have been floating around that I’m itching to try this!
Whitney is so talented with her DIY projects. Sigh.
The circular printing on Amanda’s napkins is so different and fun!
All of Brooke’s projects are perfect, aren’t they?
Gold on ivory, a girl after my own heart!
The napkin that started the random fact trend!
Love that the gocco makes it possible to print white on dark.

Anyone taking on the gocco cocktail napkin project? Share!

Those look so great! I’ve thought about such a project… hmm as I look for my note pad to write this idea down!
hmm, im wondering if the ink is really that safe to put your mouth on…? anyone know?
Love the random fact napkin! What a fun way to personalize your napkins.
No way, Jose! I thought about it for about 30 seconds before coming to my senses. :) I actually placed an order with an etsy seller for my my napkins. They should be arriving any minute now. I’ll let you know how they turn out because she’s really quite affordable.
I’ve heard mixed reactions about printing light on dark.
I needed this post like a hole in my head :) Dang my quote would look good on some cocktail napkins. I’m glad Tina just made me realize that an etsy seller would be the way to go. Thanks Tina!
Thanks so much for the shout-out, Elizabeth!
Alexis, I tested things out by getting the Gocco’d napkin wet and rubbing it on my hand, and no ink came off. And actually, I have heard of a lot of people who ordered napkins from party companies with their custom design, and the ink comes off. So, to me, these were actually a safer bet :-) And much cheaper!
Ok, I need a gocco…anybody tired of theirs and want to sell it to me? I want the large size! I must have one!!!!
This is such a cute idea! I had all but written off customized napkins, I am going to have to re-think that! I LOVE the idea of having random facts on napkins. Thanks for the inspiration!
We are totally doing this, which will be perfect because we are having a cocktail reception so they will get tons of exposer!! I will post tons of pictures once we begin the process :)
oh GREAT idea. i’m need to do this for sure now. was thinking of doing gocco coasters… but now reconsidering. like i need another DIY project to add to my list with 8 weeks to go. but can’t resist.
You know, Elizabeth, if you REALLY really want to try out gocoo-ing some napkins, I could possibly find some for you to play around on…..
There’s a quote I saw in Martha that I really liked and was trying to find a way to fit in, and it would be perfect on the cocktail napkins:
“A toast to love and laughter, and happily ever after!”
Go Miss Cupcake!!
