I need advice on tablecloths of all things.

Hey Everyone! I know this may seem really silly but I can't get it off my mind so I thought I would ask everyone of you.My reception hall gives us table linens that are sand that are lap length. It's going to be $15 per table to get full length white. Is the expense really worth it or does anyone really care what my table linens looks like?Also should I do chair covers or save my money and put it else where?Thanks for the advice!!

I mean, do you WANT sand colored lap length table cloths?If you have your heart set on white full length ones, I'd recommend looking elsewhere and renting them. I'm getting mine for about $7/each for full length white.GL!

I get sand color for free, but I think I want white. I really just dont know. I have to rent them from the hall or they charge me $2 extra for outside venders. Thanks for the advice.

First, I prefer lap length to full length because people and chairs tend to get tangled up in the full length ones. White vs. sand is a big deal though. If you want white and sand won't look good with your "vision" then find white somehow. Though, depending on how many tables you're having, $15 sounds a bit steep. I think chair covers are only useful if you have HIDEOUS chairs to cover up. Other than that, if you truly don't mind what your chairs look like, spend the money elsewhere.

I debated the same thing for a very long time. I wanted black and they were giving me ivory. After deciding to keep the lap length ivory I am glad I did. I am glad I saved the money and the headache by skipping those altogether.

I am doing lap length on our tables. I am afraid people will step on the floor length!I am actually purchasing my table cloths for $6.88 each for a white 90" round. I was debtaing buying full length ones for $9.51 each, but, decided I can use the $53 extra bucks somewhere else.
