I remember that family dinners were always a curiosity for me when I was a child. First of all because I only saw them in movies, and second of all because I didn’t really understood why people should dress up just to eat in their own home.
However, in time, I decrypted and came to appreciate this very important moment – family dinner. Or any other meal – make it a family moment. It’s such a big deal! As for the dress code for our family dinner is rather casual. But these napkins are really funny and they turn that tie-dinner into a game. I don’t see why stop at men’s attire and not go further with full creativeness into making the napkin something more than disposable paper. Maybe a newspaper-napkin for breakfast? What do you say?

Those are some fun napkins, but I was never taught to tuck a napkin in at my neck unless is was a lobster bib. All of my napkins get placed on my lap and if I were to use these, the mirth would be lost.
It’s maybe a napkin for a dinner fight… A very formal one, of course!
I was forced by my parents to wear a paper napkin tucked in my collar during all meals when I was growing up. Although I hated it then, I know think it makes more sense than a napkin on your lap. I saved many shirts and ties over the years by wearing my napkin tucked in.
Ryan you may be right, we should propose a larger model for this tie napkin. Maybe like a scarf-napkin? To tuck in and hang over your lap too?
I tend to wear a paper napkin tucked in my collar when I eat beacause I was also forced to do this by my dad growing up. I guess old habits are hard to break. Also, when my napkin is on my lap stuff always ends up on my shirt, so it is just better to tuck the napkin around your neck.
