What's wrong with folding cloth napkins? I got some good ideas from this post, as I currently only know one way to fold napkins and don't own any napkin rings.

Napkin rings are a pet peeve -- what are you supposed to do with them once you are using the napkin? Useless clutter. But a neatly folded (and not too kitsch) napkin is nice when entertaining. Makes the table look fancy. (I certainly wouldn't bother for every day.)

Guess I'm tasteless, 'cause I think the tuxedo serviette is pop and good sporting fun.
