Selecting the right napkin enhances both function and style for any table setting. Below are the most common types of napkins, their sizes, and their ideal uses:

• Beverage/Cocktail Napkins (5" x 5" folded / 10" x 10" unfolded)
Perfect for serving drinks, appetizers, or small bites at cocktail parties, receptions, and casual gatherings.

• Tea/Kid Napkins (10" x 10" to 14" x 14")
Tea napkins add elegance to afternoon tea service, while smaller napkins are ideal for children’s place setting.

• Luncheon Napkins (13" x 13" folded / 26" x 26" unfolded)
A versatile option for casual lunches, brunches, and informal dining. Slightly larger than cocktail napkins, providing better coverage.

• Dinner Napkins (18" x 18" to 20" x 20")
A staple for everyday dining and semi-formal meals, offering enough coverage for a full place setting.
 
• Formal Dinner Napkins (20" x 20" to 22" x 22")
Larger and more elegant, these napkins are ideal for fine dining, formal events, and elaborate napkin folding designs.

From casual meals to refined gatherings, the right napkin size ensures a polished and functional tablescape.
