Apparently in the UK, we Brits say the napkin was originally an “upper-class” term and serviette “lower-class.” Today, however, napkin is the most commonly used word. Apparently in the US, the word serviette is rarely used; napkin is the commonly used word. Canadians use both words. At Nana’s Manner we say choose whichever one you would like to use. The Nana’s Manners Napkins is especially designed for kids who feel they are just too grown up for bibs!
