Pyramid Napkin Folds

Curious to know how to fold a Pyramid Napkin? The Pyramid Napkin Fold is one of the most common and easiest styles of napkin folds used by restaurants and caterers everywhere. That’s not to say it’s stale in any way — to the contrary, we think the fact that a person, restaurant or caterer would take the time to enhance the table decorations adds a bit of elegance to the event. The Pyramid Napkin Fold is a great way to achieve this.

How to Fold a Pyramid Napkin

As we stated above, folding a pyramid napkin is easy. Below, we’ve broken it down into nine easy steps with pictures that everyone should be able to follow. It really won’t take long for a person to master this technique. Do this a few times (let alone a couple hundred times that a decent-sized wedding or other event may require) and you should get the hang of it and be whipping this fold out in no time.

 

Step 1. Start by laying the napkin out flat in front of you face-down.

Step 8. Turn the napkin over again, this time keeping the open end pointed toward you.

Step 9. Stand the napkin up by lifting it and folding it along the center. Take your now-elegantly-folded Pyramid napkin and rest it on a plate or in the center of a table setting. If the Pyramid fold won’t seem to neatly stay in shape, you may need to refold it or try adding some starch.
