Bencher, Quilted Beige with Maroon Embossed Border, Bi-Fold #153

The cover of #153 is printed to read as quilted velvet in beige, with a maroon embossed border running around it. The quilting gives the front a texture you notice when you pick it up, and the maroon frame keeps the beige from washing out under hall lighting. It is a laminated bi-fold at 4.5 by 6.25, the standard bencher size that sits at a place setting without taking over the plate.

Benching and sheva brochos are printed inside, so one order covers the chasunah and the seudos through the week. Choose Nusach Ashkenaz or Eduth Mizrach at checkout; each booklet carries one nusach, so decide before the order goes in.

Beige and maroon is a warmer, more traditional pairing than the blues and silvers, and it holds up well against gold-toned linens and wood-panelled halls. Families who want the tables to look settled rather than trendy tend to land on this one.
