Cost of Table Coverings?

PJSPJS

Did you buy/rent table coverings for your reception? The table linen at our venue is alright but not especially nice. I'm wondering how much table coverings consisting of a white overlay and a colorful underlay would cost for 4 round dinner tables plus a sweetheart table. I know the amount will vary greatly based on the fabrics, table size, region where you live, etc. but I'm trying to get  a ballpark idea before I make inquiries so I don't seem totally clueless!  Should I expect it to be around $250? $500? $1,000? 

Can you share with me what you got (one layer, an underlay + overlay, napkins, etc.) and how much it cost?  Thank you!

Thanks, Duds. This is a relief: the prices are lower than I expected! 

(Great job moderating the Attire Board, by the way.)

Check out the website: http://www.linentablecloth.com/  for ideas.  Our venue provided white tablecloths and napkins and I bought blue overlays and chair covers from linen tablecloths.  I sold them on Craigslist after the wedding and recovered most of my money.  Be sure and check for coupons if you decide to order from them....I got 30% off plus free shipping.

Our reception venue has white/ivory/black linens included. We were planning to rent green textured/luminous linens from our planner...but she just gave her price of $25/table and that's apparently the discount. I don't think I can spend $475 just on tablecloths! Thanks for sharing that website - I'll have to check into it!
