Extra Tips
- There are many ways to display a napkin on a table setting. Contrary to what you might think, placing a napkin in the middle of a plate is one of the best ways to showcase its individual design. For example, if you plan on placing the food at the top left side of your main plate, it’s best to place the napkin at the top left of your plate too. If you have lots of guests at your table and are using deep plates, then make sure you fold them so they are easily accessible by guests.
- Iron your napkins first to remove unwanted creases. Ironing your table cloth napkin is the first step in preparing for a good dining experience, but it's not all that simple. No guest would want to be presented a wrinkled napkin on their plate. Here is a quick and easy way to prepare without having to invest in expensive and time consuming tools. Store your napkins on a clean hard case with a book pressed on top. That way, you don't have to iron them before using.
- You could use a pin as a support so that the napkin will easily retain its shape.
