The fortieth is the milestone most often thrown by somebody else, and usually as a surprise, so the decorating gets chosen by a person guessing at the taste of the guest of honor. Navy and gold is the low-risk guess. It marks the number, it photographs well under a kitchen light, and it gives the guest of honor nothing to object to.
Two-ply, 6.5 inches folded, forty-eight to a package. A fortieth guest list is usually a mix of family, old friends and people from work, which is the kind of party where food gets laid out and eaten standing. Plan three napkins a head for sixteen, or two a head for twenty-four with a stack kept back for the cake.
