How to Fan Napkins
Learning how to fan napkins will definitely enhance your presentation and likely your guests’ experience.
Doing something easy like fanning napkins takes something so simple and mundane – a stack of napkins – and turns it into something worth looking at…and talking about.
When people see the finished result, they usually have no idea how it was done. Maybe they think that someone painstakingly spent hours layering each napkin over the one before or maybe that you hired a “napkin specialist” to transform the stack of napkins into a work of art.
Either way, it takes little effort to learn how to fan napkins and the end result is a pleasing display of a spiralled staircase-like stack of serving napkins.

This little bartender trick is sure to be a hit and add a little class to your appetizer spread.
Napkin Fanning Tips:
Make sure your stack of napkins is not too thick, you can always put multiple stacks on top of each other to make it bigger.
Place the glass side-ways on top of the stack and push firmly while turning. The napkins will begin to spiral. If the top one is messy after you’re finished, just turn it over or take it off.
Remember that these little bartender tricks are what separates the average bartender from the truly great bartenders (and the extra wages that go with it).
Instead of just putting a stack of cocktail napkins beside the appetizers, try fanning the napkins instead.
