Get creative when it comes to setting your holiday table. A fun place card can add a lot of personality to a set of basic linens. Try using a favorite photo of each of your guests instead of writing their names. Just take or find a photo where each subject is somewhat centered and by themselves. Print your photos in the regular 4Ă—6 size, and cut them to be two inches tall. Make a cylinder and staple the back together. Note that if you use a horizontal photo, your napkin ring will be looser while a vertical photo will create a tighter ring. Slip in your napkins and voila!
Mississippi native Donna Ladd and partner Todd Stauffer founded the Jackson Free Press in 2002 in the capital city. The heavily awarded local newspaper did many investigations heralded across the state and nation and served as a paper of record due to its diversity, inclusion, in-depth reporting and deep connection to readers and dedication to narrative change in and about Mississippi. In 2022, the nonprofit Mississippi Free Press, founded by Ladd and JFP Associate Publisher Kimberly Griffin in 2020, purchased the journalism assets and archives of the Jackson Free Press. A Google grant through AAN Publishers enabled Newspack's integration of the JFP archives into the Mississippi Free Press website to become part of a more searchable archive of recent Mississippi history and essential journalism.
