Napkin Folding

Table napkins give an artistic effect to the simplest setting.  Napkins are made of paper or cloth.

Sizes vary with the type of table setting. The smallest size is use for cocktail settings and the largest, in formal dinner settings. Napkins can be placed on the plate folded on top of the table, rolled and inserted in napkins rings or tucked into a glass.  Knowledge of various ways of folding napkins is an advantage you can have in table setting.
