Salaam everyone !
**The napkins would be enrolled like in the left pic , and would be placed over the plates like in the right pic .
I don't know if I was allowed to take some pics from the shop or not , but here some shots I took :

I hope you're all doign well !
I just got some rest between my work and my vacation !
Last week I went for a 3 days vacation to a beach city in the north with my family .
The city we went to is very nice and is caracterized with it's beautiful beach and other places to visit , but is mainly an interesting place for shopping .
In case you didn't know , the north of my country is well known of its fancy lavish weddings . Caterers their are known for their perfectionism , rare decoration and outstanding wedding organization .
Since my aunt is herself a caterer , and the preparations for my cousin's wedding are on these days ( the wedding is after Ramadan inshAllah ) we decided that we should order the wedding favors from there .
In weddings here , both the bride and the groom take care of the wedding favors , but mainly separately .
We first headed to a known very big bazar calles Casa Parata . That place has anything you wish for on earth ! From clothes and jewellry , to phones and laptop , and wedding favors !
Since it's a huge place , we had to ask several vendors about the wedding faovrs sellers , and they headed us straight to it . What I liked about this shooping place , is that not only it has wonderful shops who import stuffs from Europe , but also the fact that not in any way you can get lost in it even though it's really big .
We went to see the wedding favors shops , and there was a huge range of them . Actually my aunt had in mind a specific thing she was looking for . She wanted a designed napkins, along with some small sachet for the people to put their candies in them ( in case you didn't kow , in our weddings , we offer guests alot of candies and small cakes , so it's common we also provide some sachet for the people who would like to take some of theirs home , because generally you can not eat all that in one night :D ) to put in each plate , in each table . From all the designs the vendors offered , we couldn't find something satisfying . We found what they had simple and pretty , yet not luxuruous .
Therefore , we decided to look elsewhere . The following day , we went downtown where we found some other shops offering all kind of wedding ornaments . We kept walking until we got to the old medina , where once again a wide range of such shops were waiting for us . This time those shops offered a better quality and design of what we were looking for . From the first shop we visited we were simply amazed ! We loved what the shops had , unfortunately the shops owner wasn't there . We continued the visit around the other shops , what they had was also nice , but what we saw in the first shop simply fascinated us . It was close , so I went to see if the owner was back or no , to my disappointment he wasn't .
We kept our walk until we got outside of the bazar , but we were just craving to go back to the first , and it was indeed what we did . Once again the owner wasn't there , but this time we decided to wait for him . After about 10-15 min the man showed up !
Then once again we had to wait , because there was two other clients before us who were also waiting for him to come .
We showed him the design we liked , and before proceeding with our order , we had to ask and negociate the price . We wanted 300 pieces of the napkins , the young man said the price was 2.60dhs . We negociated , and the man agreed for 2.40dhs . We asked him how long will it take to make the order , he said about 2-3 days .
We begged him to make it less saying that we were not from there , and our vacation was ending soon , so 3 days was impossible . The young man said he can get them ready the following day after Asr prayer , at around 4.30pm . We were actually concerned about wether we shoumld trust him or no , as we were afraid he wouldnt get the order ready , but a client who was there , and who appeared to also be caterer , told us that the man is definitely trust worthy !
So we began placing the order , we chosed the little sachets to be in white , orned with white flowers which have a golden border , they would be tied with a golden ribbon , along with a white napkin that has some kind of gold arabic designs ! ( all the choice was Mine ! :D )
After giving many details about what our perception of the whole wedding was , the man found us very friendly and decided to reduce the price till 2.20dhs ! how gentel of him !
Now I know you must be eager to see what the napkin looks like , unfortunately , I left the following morning , and my aunts went to pick up the order alone , and until now , I myself haven't seen the ready napkins ! However I promess that once I see them , I'll take a pic for you guys !!
Nevertheless , here are a couple of pics of what the napkins would look like :

Nevertheless , here are a couple of pics of what the napkins would look like :
**The napkins would be enrolled like in the left pic , and would be placed over the plates like in the right pic .
I don't know if I was allowed to take some pics from the shop or not , but here some shots I took :
** See the boxes on the left ? these can also be used instead if sachets
** I was amazed to see this huge chocolate crown ! In case you didnt know , in our country , the groom brings ( among with gifts and clothes ) chocolate to the bride during the festivities .
** See the white-pink Napkins in the basket ? ours will look exactly like that !
So until my next post , take care of yourselves and stay tuned for more posts !
