Although napery is often used in formal settings, such as at dinner parties or weddings, it can also be used in more casual settings. Napery generally refers to tablecloths, napkins, and placemats. Tablecloths can be made from a variety of materials, including linen, cotton, polyester, and even paper. Napkins are usually made from cloth as well, although they can also be made from paper. Placemats are typically made from either cloth or paper.
