I love a tasteful, muted table linen as much as the next person, but sometimes those neutral-colored plates of turkey and mashed potatoes could use the playful punch of a bold or colorful cloth napkin cozying up to them.

Those numbered napkins are quite nice. But I'm not paying $20 for a single napkin. And if I ever find myself on the precipice of paying $20 for a single napkin, I would appreciate it if someone would kindly smack some sense into me before the transaction occurs. Or, at the very least, kindly steal my wallet and give its contents to someone who can make far better use of it than I can. Thank you.
I can only imagine the numbered napkins resulting in a lot of jokes about how we'd numbered our guests in the order we liked them or something!
"Chew with your mouth closed" seems a bit rude.
What's next? "Wash your hands after you wipe your arse"?
yeah, i would never pay $20 for something meant to wipe dirty mouths and hands... another option would be to buy cheaper napkins (i got some simple grey ones that were discontinued for $2 a piece), or even make some... then just buy the iron on transfer paper, print out numbers from the computer, and voila, tiny fraction of that cost... sorry for ripping of someone else's idea... but really, do you have to charge so much...
(oh, but really, the iron on isn't my idea either, i saw it on tv, they numbered the beach house's towels so that guests remember which one was their towel at the beach)...
angorian, don't use them with guests then, just ditch your paper napkins that you normally use at home, and use the numbered cloth ones to remember which one is yours (you don't necessarily need to wash them daily, but this way your family won't mix them up)
