Fun with Napkins

You can really enhance your table décor by using an attractive napkin fold

Based on whether the setting is indoors or outdoors will determine the kind of fold to use.

For outdoors you want a fold that will hold your napkin down in case of wind. For indoors you have more freedom, but need to keep in mind the space on the table.

I have found a style that really suits me for both situations.

Not only do the napkins stay down in windy weather, but this fold also holds the menu in place. It also has the advantage of looking elegant, and yet can be used for a more casual setting. It is also easy to do!

This folding style is my favorite and can be “dressed” for all kinds of occasions. This allows you to be creative too. Here are a few examples:

• You can insert a flower instead of a menu.
• You can place a special token on top of the napkin, or a decorative item based on the occasion.
• For a casual outdoor look you can also insert the silverware…….

Have fun!
