A Sweet Touch for Mother’s Day: The Special Note Napkin Fold

A Sweet Touch for Mother’s Day: The Special Note Napkin Fold

Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the women who fill our lives with love, warmth, and endless encouragement. This year, why not add an extra-special touch to your Mother’s Day table by incorporating a thoughtful detail — a special note tucked into a beautifully folded napkin?

Just look at this gorgeous table!


The bright, cheerful pink and white tablecloth sets a festive backdrop, while vibrant green and yellow cabbageware plates create a fresh, garden-inspired feeling. A lush centerpiece of blue hydrangeas and yellow ranunculus adds the perfect burst of color and joy. Every element feels thoughtful, welcoming, and full of love — just the way a Mother’s Day gathering should be.

And the napkin? This charming green-and-white patterned napkin isn’t just a pretty detail — it’s folded simply and hidden inside is a handwritten note, adding a deeply personal touch to each place setting. It’s a small but meaningful way to make your guests, especially Mom, feel truly celebrated. And for a little extra dash of fun, we "garnished" the napkin with a sweet set of floral earrings for each mom at the table!

Here’s how to recreate this special moment:

  • Choose a colorful napkin that complements your table. We love a bright pattern for spring!
  • Fold it into a special note with this simple tutorial in our Spring Napkin Folding Guide.
  • Tuck a sweet note or place card into the fold — it could be a heartfelt thank you, a favorite quote, a favorite photo, or even a simple “I love you, Mom."
  • Add a small gift, flower or ribbon for an extra dash of charm.

This easy little detail turns a beautiful table into a memory — and reminds your guests how much they’re loved and appreciated.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Hen House Linens! May your table (and your heart) be full of color, laughter, and love.
