At a dinner party, pick up your napkin only after your host does. If you’re at a restaurant and there’s no formal host, pick up the napkin as soon as you're seated at the table and discreetly unfold it. In a dinner party scenario, it’s respectful to follow the host’s lead.[1]

Research source

Gently unfold the napkin instead of shaking it open with a flourish.

The napkin will be next to your place setting or on your plate.

Place the ring at the top left corner of your place setting. Napkin rings are more common in informal settings. Simply slide the ring toward you to slip the napkin out of the ring. Then, put the ring on the table next to the left of your plate.

Cover your lap with the napkin without draping it over your knees. If the napkin is much larger than your lap, fold it in half first. Then, place it in your lap with the folded side facing your body.[2]

Research source

The napkin is there to protect your lap from spills, but don't use it to dust off crumbs or soak up spills on the table or floor.

Use the top half of the napkin to dab at the corners of your mouth.[5]

Expert Interview. 16 February 2022.

Using the top half (the edge closest to your knees) prevents the soiled part from touching your clothes when you put the napkin back in your lap. Never wipe across your mouth with the napkin since that’s considered impolite.[6]

Research source

Blot your mouth before taking a sip of your drink, as well.

Never spit food into your napkin, especially at a formal dinner.

Dinner napkins should only be used around your mouth. Never wipe your face or blow your nose into your dinner napkin. If you need to blow your nose, excuse yourself and do so in the restroom. Avoid cleaning your cutlery with the napkin, as well. If your utensils look dirty, politely ask for another set.[10]

Fold the napkin loosely before placing it on the table. When you’re at a restaurant, this is how your server will know you've finished your meal. In a dinner party scenario, leave your napkin in your lap and follow the host’s lead.

Lay your knife and fork side by side, diagonally, on your plate to indicate that you're finished with the meal.[11]

The napkin is always placed to the left of your place setting (not the right). You should also put the napkin to the left of your place setting if you get up from the table and when you're finished eating.

Question

Where should I place my paper napkin when I'm finished with my meal?

wikiHow Staff Editor

Staff Answer

This answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.

wikiHow Staff Editor

Staff Answer

Paper napkins are extremely uncommon in formal settings. If you're dining informally and using a paper napkin, there are no hard and fast rules about what to do when you're finished. Just put it on the table on the left side of your plate, leave it on your plate, or get up and throw it away.

Square of cloth used for wiping hands

For other uses, see Napkin (disambiguation).

A rolled napkin in a napkin ring

A napkin, serviette or face towelette is a square of cloth or paper tissue used at the table for wiping the mouth and fingers while eating. It is also sometimes used as a bib by tucking it into a shirt collar. It is usually small and folded, sometimes in intricate designs and shapes.[citation needed]

Etymology and terminology[edit]

The term 'napkin' dates from the 14th century, in the sense of a piece of cloth or paper used at mealtimes to wipe the lips or fingers and to protect clothing.[1] The word derives from the Late Middle English nappekin, from Old French nappe (tablecloth, from Latin mappa), with the suffix -kin.[2]

A 'napkin' can also refer to a small cloth or towel, such as a handkerchief in dialectal British, or a kerchief in Scotland.[3]

'Napkin' may also be short for "sanitary napkin".[4]

Description[edit]

A folded napkin

Conventionally, the napkin is folded and placed to the left of the place setting, outside the outermost fork. In a restaurant setting or a caterer's hall, it may be folded into more elaborate shapes and displayed on the empty plate. Origami techniques can be used to create a three-dimensional design. A napkin may also be held together in a bundle with cutlery by a napkin ring. Alternatively, paper napkins may be contained within a napkin holder.

History[edit]

Summaries of napkin history often say that the ancient Greeks used bread to wipe their hands[citation needed]. This is suggested by a passage in one of Alciphron's letters (3:44), and some remarks by the sausage seller in Aristophanes' play, The Knights.[5] The bread in both texts is referred to as apomagdalia which simply means bread from inside the crust known as the crumb and not special "napkin bread".[6] Napkins were also used in ancient Roman times.[citation needed]

One of the earliest references to table napkins in English dates to 1384–85.[7][full citation needed]

Paper napkins[edit]

The use of paper napkins is documented in ancient China, where paper was invented in the 2nd century BC.[8] Paper napkins were known as chih pha, folded in squares, and used for the serving of tea. Textual evidence of paper napkins appears in a description of the possessions of the Yu family, from the city of Hangzhou.[9]

Paper napkins were first imported to the US in the late 1800s but did not gain widespread acceptance until 1948, when Emily Post asserted, "It’s far better form to use paper napkins than linen napkins that were used at breakfast."[10][11]

Leonardo Da Vinci myth[edit]

It has been claimed that Leonardo da Vinci invented the napkin in 1491. According to this claim, the Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza, used to tie up live rabbits decorated with ribbons to the guest’s chairs so they could wipe their hands on the animal’s back. Leonardo found this inappropriate, and presented a cloth for each guest.[12][13] The myth stems from Leonardo's Kitchen Notebooks (1987), by Jonathan Routh and Shelagh Routh, a prank book published as an April Fools’ Day joke, that claims a long lost Codex Romanoff was found in 1481, which never really existed.[14]
