Folding an envelope

An envelope is quick and easy to fold from a napkin. It looks elegant and is suitable for almost any occasion. It is suitable for weddings, Christmas, Easter, other celebrations and in elegant restaurants for every day. The uncomplicated folding enables large tables to be set quickly. The envelope is usually placed on the plate. A menu card or a small greeting can also be hidden in the envelope to match the theme.

Our tip

Do you want the envelope on a smaller plate? Then repeat the first step rotated by 90° before following the instructions.

An envelope is the perfect companion for outdoors. It lies flat on the table or plate and cannot be knocked over by the wind. This makes a folded envelope ideal for your outdoor area or outdoor events - especially when you need to get things done quickly.

Which napkin is suitable?

With this fold, you have absolute freedom in your choice of napkin. Whether plain or patterned, paper or fabric - anything is possible. You can create great effects with a beautiful edge or decorative stitching. Printed napkins also work. Vibrant colors or subtle pastel shades suit the occasion. Cloth napkins add a touch of elegance. Paper is of course also perfect for this motif.
