Hey ladies! Does anyone have ivory linen that they would like to sell or does anyone have any recommendations of a place where I can either buy or rent ivory table linens for our reception (hopefully for an affordable price)?

Thanks!!

    What is your price range?  What size and shape linens?

    I would need linens for both 60" round and 30" round tables.  I am not really sure what to expect as far as pricing but I would say maybe a couple/few hundred dollars? Do you know what they normally cost?

    I know you can rent standard sizes (like yours) from New Orleans Party Rental starting at $7 each.  I bought my own linens at www.efavormart.com for about the same price.  They have a wide variety and very reasonable prices.

    We bought ours from weddinglinendirect.com, all for about 200-300 If you are interested in champagne satin, I've got it ;)

    FWIW, the quote I got for ivory linens from the event rental company I am using (I ultimately opted for a pattern as opposed to the ivory) was $15.00 for each 120" round (to use for 60" round table, will go all the way to floor).  Seems high compared to what pp have quoted.

    Patterns and special colors can cost more but in general, I dind't find any vendors whose rental price beat the purchase price I could find online.

    That quote was for the ivory.  My patterned linens are about double the cost.

    Yes, these rental prices are nuts.  I was quoted as high as $35 per table cloth for crinkle taffeta, so I bought my own at $18 each and figure I can try to sell them afterwards but still almost half the price of renting even if I can't sell them.
