Updated: Oct 3


When it comes to event presentation, every detail counts, and one often overlooked but essential aspect of table settings is napkin folding. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, or private party, these beautiful folds add a touch of sophistication to your event’s décor. Let’s take a look at the most popular napkin folds at ACT 3 Catering.

 

1. Pocket Fold

The pocket fold is a timeless classic, combining both function and elegance. It’s a popular choice for formal events, as it provides a convenient pocket to tuck in silverware or menu cards. This neat, structured fold creates a polished look and adds an extra level of detail to any table. There are other variations of the pocket fold such as the angled pocket fold and the triple pocket fold

2. Flat Fold

For a more minimalistic and sleek appearance, the flat fold is a go-to. This style lays the napkin flat on the plate or table, creating a simple yet refined look. While the flat fold may seem straightforward, it’s perfect for contemporary events or occasions where the décor is already elaborate. Its clean lines don’t distract from other elements, allowing the food and centerpiece to take center stage.

3. Knot Fold

The knot fold is all about texture and charm. This whimsical fold takes a standard napkin and ties it into a simple, yet eye-catching knot. Perfect for rustic or casual-themed events, the knot fold adds a playful touch to the table setting. ACT 3 Catering clients love the knot fold for outdoor gatherings, barn weddings, or family-style dinners, as it brings a relaxed but still elegant feel to the décor.

4. Triangle Fold

The triangle fold is another versatile and easy-to-execute option that offers a classic look with a bit of flair. It’s created by folding the napkin into a triangle shape and placing it neatly on the plate. The triangle fold is often selected for its simplicity, but it also adds a sense of symmetry and style to any table.


 

5. Waterfall Fold

One of the most visually stunning folds is the waterfall fold. This style creates the illusion of cascading layers, resembling a waterfall, flowing gracefully down the plate. The waterfall fold is perfect for formal dinners, elegant weddings, or any event where you want to impress guests with a more elaborate display. The waterfall fold is often the star of the show, chosen for its ability to elevate the overall table presentation.
