Napkin folds?? What do you mean by that? Why would a napkin fold make or break a beautiful table?
A napkin fold is a very important aspect in creating beautiful tablescapes. To me the typical tri-fold napkin fold is so passe that it can make the event look like a flash back from the 80′s. I wouldn’t even suggest it for any type of event. What happens in a restaurant should stay at the restaurant…:-)
The newest trend in folds is creating a “pocket” of some sort to include the menu card. Another trend is to have it folded nicely laying over the table at each place setting.
You can even rent very nice satin napkins that are quite inexpensive and can really spice up the table without truly breaking the bank. It’s good to find napkins that have the ability to stand up on itself so that if you select a “bird’s of paradise” fold or a “candlestick fold” it will stand the test of time throughout the night.

Linen napkins are best but to add “pop” to the even satin is wonderful.
