Cocktail napkins are a type of napkin used traditionally during cocktail hour. However, because their uses are so versatile, they make a great addition to any party with drinks, snacks, and appetizers.

Cocktail napkins are square shaped and can be used for both drink service and food service. They are usually thinner and lower in cost than a dinner napkin. Dinner napkins are rectangular shaped, often thicker and more substantial than a cocktail napkin. Classic black and white will always be in style.
