Tablecloth rental

Our vendor does not have tablecloths.  Were going to rent them.  We don't know how much of a over hang we should have.  The bridal table probably should have it down to the floor, but what about the other tables.  The tables are rectangle seats 10 people.  Should the over hang be down to the floor too? What about the cake table were thinking of having no tablecloths on the small cake table or gift table.  Also do we really need to do table favors.  Tables will have flower vases.

  • Your tablecloths do not have to hang all the way to the floor but I find that when they do it makes things look a bit more fancy and finished.

    As for size of the tablecloths you would need to know the size of the tables you are covering and then speak with your rental place about what size would be best for your wants and needs.

    As for the cake and gift table.  What type of tables are they?  Are they wooden folding tables or are they nice tables that sit out all the time at your venue?  If they are wooden folding tables I would suggest getting a tablecloth to cover it.  If it is a pretty table that is out all the time then no tablecloth is needed.


  • Their nice tables that sit out all the time.  The vendor is a restaurant
  • update: We decided not to rent tablecloths instead were using the restaurant tablecloths.
