How to Choose the Right Size Tablecloth
By: Marquee Event Rentals
At Marquee Event Rentals, we understand the importance of selecting the right tablecloth size for your special occasion. As a leading provider of event rentals, we receive numerous inquiries about tablecloth sizes. To assist you in making the best decision, we have put together this guide to provide helpful guidance.
Tablecloth Size Guide
Determining the appropriate tablecloth size involves considering two key factors.
Tabletop Size
Begin by identifying the dimensions of your event table. Commonly used tables include 60-inch rounds, 72-inch rounds, 6 ft. banquets, and 8 ft. banquets. Having this information readily available will simplify the selection process.
Desired Overhang
Next, consider how much overhang you prefer for your tablecloth. Would you like it to reach the edge of the table, drape elegantly to the floor, or create a luxurious pooling effect? To better understand the different lengths available, let's explore each option:
- • Lap Length Tablecloth: This size extends to the edge of the table, providing a neat and tidy appearance.
- • Floor Length Tablecloth: Ideal for achieving a more formal look, this size gracefully reaches the floor, exuding elegance.
- • Pooling Length Tablecloth: For those seeking the ultimate luxury, this length creates a lavish pooling effect, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your event.
