Christmas Crackers, Napkins & Party Supplies

Buying christmas crackers, napkins & party supplies

Christmas in a restaurant, hotel or function room is won or lost on the table. Crackers, napkins and table covers that match make a room look planned, and buying them by the case from one supplier means every table in the building gets the same look on the same day.

Everything here sells by the case, ex VAT, and is ordered in from the manufacturer for you: allow 3 to 5 working days. Crackers run from 9 inch party crackers with a hat and motto up to 14 inch deluxe crackers with a proper gift inside, and every cracker is fully recyclable with no plastic content.

The napkins, slip covers, table covers, runners and banqueting rolls are designed as coordinated collections, so a Jolly Holly napkin has a Jolly Holly placemat, slipcover and cracker to go with it. Pick a collection, then buy across it.

Christmas Crackers, Napkins & Party Supplies: common questions

How many crackers do I need for a Christmas menu?

One per cover, plus roughly 5 percent spare for breakages and last-minute extra guests. A 100-box covers a 90-cover sitting comfortably; two 50-boxes give you the same with a little more flexibility across two rooms.

What do the cracker grades mean?

Every cracker holds a paper hat and a motto. Party crackers (9 and 10 inch) stop there, and the Snapless party cracker is the same with no snap, so no bang. Dinner crackers (11 and 12 inch) add a game card to play at the table. Premium crackers (12 inch) hold a plastic-free novelty, Deluxe crackers (12 and 13 inch) a luxury novelty, and the 14 inch Handmade Deluxe crackers a deluxe novelty in a handmade cracker. The Eco crackers hold stickers, a 2D hanging decoration or a large 3D hanging decoration, all card and paper. The grade is in every product name, and the cracker guide on the Christmas page lists every design by size.

Are the napkins and covers recyclable?

Yes. The paper napkins, placemats and banqueting rolls are paper throughout. The crackers are card and paper, and the manufacturer has taken the plastic out of the contents: the Premium novelties are plastic-free and the Eco grades are card and paper throughout. Several lines carry FSC certification, which is noted on the product.

When should I order for December?

These lines are ordered in from the manufacturer, so allow 3 to 5 working days and order before the last week of November if you want them on the tables for the first party bookings. Stock at the manufacturer tightens through December.
