Frequently Asked Questions

What size tablecloth do I need for a 60-inch round table?

For a 60-inch round table, use a 120-inch round tablecloth for a floor-length drop on all sides. If you prefer a shorter drop (halfway to the floor), a 108-inch tablecloth works. Floor-length is standard for formal events like weddings, while shorter drops work for casual gatherings.

How many napkins should I order?

Order 5-10% more napkins than your guest count. This accounts for last-minute additions and extras for the bar area. For a 100-guest event, order 105-110 napkins. Cloth napkins are reusable and add an elegant touch that paper napkins cannot match.

What is the difference between a runner and an overlay?

A table runner is a long, narrow strip of fabric that runs down the center of a table, usually on rectangular tables. An overlay is a square or round piece of fabric that goes on top of the tablecloth, usually at an angle, to create a layered, decorative look. Overlays work best on round tables.
