Editor's Notes
Why is table napkin important?
How important is it?
Why is there need to learn a different table napkin folding?
Some people believe that napkins are made of only clothes whereas serviettes are made of paper. This is not true. You can find both paper napkins and cloth napkins. However, most people use cloth napkins for formal dinners, and paper napkins for casual events like cocktail receptions.
Nappe and Servi® is an Old French word
Don’t let it sit beside your plate. It was given to you for wiping your face when you need to and to protect your lap from spills. Leaving it beside your plate marks you as a slob. Do not ever use this to wipe your nose or face (this should be done away from the table.
Ff you were the host of the party you shouldn’t leave a formal dinner during dinner. Also when the host places his napkin on the table, this symbolizes that the meal is over
such that it just covers your lap.
In polite society, movements at the dinner table tend to be small. WILDLY SHAKING NAPKIN. don’t use the napkin as you would a wash cloth during your morning shower; gently dab at your mouth.
5. Should your napkin still be sitting on the table when the food arrives, the server may have to create space to set your plate.
6. Also put the loosely folded napkin to the left of your plate when you’re done eating, never on the plate.
7. It is not tucked into your pants, nor does it belong tucked into your shirt collar. However, if you are in a milieu where that kind of behavior is acceptable, don’t be afraid to go along. For example, diners from Southern Italy (or southern New Jersey) have long known that a bowl of spaghetti topped with marinara sauce can be better enjoyed when you don’t have to worry about the red stuff splattering on your shirt. Many Italian and Italian-American diners therefore tuck the napkin into their collars as a matter of course. Feel free to do the same.
When you were given a napkin, USE IT
Wait for the host to pick up and unfold
If larger, fold it
Don’t make ostentatious display unfolding your napkin
