can these be used as dinner napkins?

I wouldn't use as dinner napkins unless you were using them for children. They are very thick and absorbent like a double Bounty towel.

I would not use then as a napkin, but you can. They are quite thick and not as soft as a napkin.

I'm sure you can. But for a dinner with guests I would rather buy "better than linen napkins" if you prefer not to use cloth napkins.

i wouldn't...but I suppose you could in a pinch. I think they are a little big for that and the grocery stores sell dinner napkins more suitable for the table.

They are unembossed and without any adornment. I guess you could use them that way but I would probably not unless you were serving something very messy to be eaten with your hands.

I think they could in an emergency, they are durable, but not soft like napkins.

These exact napkins are sold to restaurants and catering facilities, so they can withstand many washings in a commercial laundry. Because these are 100% cotton, they will look good screen printed. Also check out the 100% cotton satin band napkins that American Linen is selling on Amazon. They are about the same price for a dozen, but they are bigger 22"x22". They do not have the "linen" look, but are elegant nonetheless.

We used them at our wedding buffet with hot meats and veggies. I wouldn't see why not. They're a very strong plastic.

They are the right size. They are heavier and have a rougher texture than napkins but they would work..

They would be very large as soup bowls...Even as individual salad bowls they are very large. I like to put them in the fridge ahead of time and then used them as salad bowls when the salad is a whole meal...it's a big bowl...they do fine in the dish washer so they probably would be ok with warm liquid, I just think it is very big for soup...

I use them as accent chairs in my living room but I think they are intended to be dining chairs. Your proposed use sounds like it will look great. I'd recommend chair pads for more comfort. Good luck!

I use them for bag lunch meetings...I don't know that I would use them for plated events...

Yes. But I would hand wash them-- they will "float" around in your dishwasher because they are so light.

Yes definitely! We did big prime rib dinner on these! They are so nice you don't want to throw them away. I washed up some of them and reused them again!

I don't see why not. They are thick enough...actually that's a pretty cool idea. They hold their shape nicely after washing and have a border.

Yes you can choose either one for the napkins. Ours turned out really nice, we went with silver foil.

Yes. All standard sized dinner napkins (IKEA, Vanity Fair, generic grocery store brands, etc.) fit in it perfectly.

No. They look to big for use as dining set. They will not fit under the table.

No - these are pretty small. Fine for a table or could even be used with a tray on a road trip.

I would see no reason why they could not be used for food.....good quality waxed paper...they are really nice.

I really don't think these can be used like cheesecloth. BUT they are great for other uses not the least being washable, bleachable napkins for messy children!!! We use them to cover art when the sun pours through the window during certain times of the year.
