I like this. Maybe I can get my mom to put names on them with her fancy programmable seeing machine.


Or everyone gets their own special napkin ring! I will do this once my kids are older and not quite so messy. It is an excellent idea.

Cloth napkins. Everyone has their own color. We reuse if not really dirty, otherwise goes into the laundry basket. Sometimes if my kids get something like ketchup all over theirs I will rinse it out and hang to dry and use next night.

We use the half size paper towels. I grew up with cloth, which is a better choice environmentally, but I hated cleaning them all, so I don't do it unless we have company.

Just curious.

Paper napkins here (and real dishes--really; that many people use paper plates?)

Are actual paper napkins less expensive than using paper towels?

Paper but I just put a pile in the middle of the table. Most nights no one seems to need one. We are neat/ill mannered/quasi environmentalists?
