HELP! Trying to figure out linens

kalina174

Ok ladies I need help!  I am debating on whether I should rent my linens or to buy them. It looks like it will be 200 dollars cheaper to buy them but the ones I want only come long enough t touch the floor for a 60in table and not 72.  I am thinking I can fit 10 people at the 60in table.  Is that correct?  Also do you think it would look bad to use the 72in tables and have the end of the linens 6in from the floor? I could really use some help!  Thanks Ladies!

I'm buying mine from CvLinens, then reselling. It's cheaper to buy then rent.

8ft tables can fit 10 people. 

Heres a cheat sheet for the linen sizes-

Don't put 10 people at a 60" round table. That will be waaaayyy too crowded.

For 72" tables, a 132" linen will touch the floor, but 120" linens are long enough that you still won't see the table legs when all the chairs are pushed in. So you should be ok.

We're buying, then reselling because it's cheaper. [:

You can fit 8 people at a 60" table.  Otherwise, ditto what everyone else said except you also have to factor in if you want to put any effort into pressing and cleaning the bought linens versus them being delivered ready to use.

Regan117: Thank you so much!  I was debating whether it would bother me that they might not touch the floor on the 72" table but if I can't see then legs then I am ok with it! 

Everyone else: thank you so much for all the information!  I really appreciate it!

60 in tables are for 8 people. I think if the tablecloth comes 6 inches from the floor, people won't even notice. The chairs are there to cover them.

emmmbeee

LinenTablecloth.com is where I bought my linens.  I got the 90" because I'm cheap and I have chair covers for the banquet chairs.

But yeah, 8 people at a 60" table max.

See if you can put the cloths on both size tables and then look at them.  Remember that chairs will be around the tables, hiding some of the bottoms, and when the guests are there, with the people standing and sitting, you won't notice it.  But you need to see it .
