We decided we wanted to add a little glamour to our bar cart and upgrade to linen cocktail napkins. They make any event seem fancier, plus they are good for the environment since you won't have to throw them away! Eve came up with the cute idea to make our own stencils with "cheers" printed in different languages on each napkin.
Cheers around the world:
Cheers: English, means "good wishes"
Skál: Icelandic, equivalent to "cheers" or "good health"
Sláinte: Irish Gaelic & Scottish Gaelic, translates to "health"
Kanpai: Japanese translates to "dry glass"
Prost: German & Austrian, in latin the translation for prost means "may it be good/beneficial for you!"
Saluti: Italian, translates in english to "regards"
