Eat, Drink, Learn Useless Info

A while ago I stumbled upon this photo of these awesome personalized cocktail napkins, and LOVED the idea!

They are so witty and adorable! With phrases like "thanks for being quiet during the ceremony. You look great by the way" who wouldn't want to giggle a little reading these while standing in line for a cocktail, enjoying finger foods?

While I thought they were adorable, I didn't really think I could waste a bunch of money on having them made for me, and so I gave up on the idea....until I saw this old post by Mrs. Cupcake, who used her gocco to add fun facts to plain cocktail napkins, tutorial provided. If you remember, I bought a gocco on a (terrible) whim one day, and have been searching for new projects to use it for so as to not feel like i wasted my $200. So you see, this project was a true win-win situation; I got to use my gocco again and I got my adorable napkins:

And in case you want to see the 5 facts I chose:


In total I spent about 2-3 hours making 300 of these babies. I think I will have to make more, though, so I am in the process of coming up with some other fun facts to use.

Overall, this project was surprisingly easy, and cheap (well...if you have a gocco or access to one). I keep anticipating experiencing problems with this gocco, but I cannot tell you enough just how simple the process is, and how hard it is to screw it up! YAY!

Were the majority of your DIY adventures a success? And do you have any other Gocco projects I can take on for the wedding?
