First, the napkin is placed on the leg
Let the host pick up the napkin from the dining table and put it on his lap before following the action. (Except for buffet, you can unfold your napkin when you start eating buffet. )
Second, unfold the napkin
Spread the napkin in a gentle motion to avoid overexertion or shaking the napkin. The size of the napkin determines the extent of unfolding the napkin;
1 For larger napkins provided for more formal banquets, you can spread them in half.
2. The smaller napkin needs to be unfolded completely and covered on the thigh.
Third, folding napkins
Don't wrap the napkin around your neck or fold it to the button or belt. But if you want to serve some snacks, if the host puts the napkin under his chin or around his neck, you can also do so with the host.
Fourth, use napkins
When you accidentally get oily stains on your mouth during eating, you need to wipe your mouth with a napkin frequently, but don't beat it hard. Before drinking, wipe your mouth with a napkin, especially for ladies who wear lipstick, so as not to stain the cup with lipstick.
Five, put napkin ring
After picking up the napkin, if you find a napkin ring, you should put it on the top left of the dining table. After eating, pick up the napkin, put it through the napkin ring and put one end of the napkin towards the center of the table.
Six, temporarily leave the table
When you need to leave the table temporarily, put the napkin on the chair. If the chair is padded, place the stained side of the napkin upward.
Seven, put napkins after meals.
What should I do with the napkins I just used up after a sumptuous and wonderful dinner?
1 After eating, fold the napkins at will.
2. If there is a plate in the center of your position, put the napkin on the left side of the plate when you leave the table.
If there is nothing in the center of your position, just put the napkin in the center of your position.
4. When leaving the dining table, hide the stained side of the napkin and stack it on the dining table at will.
5. If there is still coffee after a meal, still put the napkin on your lap.
It is such a small napkin that there is a lot of etiquette knowledge hidden in the whole process from the beginning to the end of the meal. Although small, even inconspicuous, the smaller it is, the more inconspicuous it is. If you really notice it and pay attention to it, the more you can show your unique cultivation and bloom your unique charm.
