Other Tablecloth Size Considerations
There are a few other considerations that will ensure you are choosing the right tablecloth size for your table.
Event Formality and Tablecloth Drop
First, you should consider how much drop you want. The length from the edge of the table to the bottom of the tablecloth sets the tone for your event. Think of it as the difference between dressing for a family dinner party vs. dressing for a formal ball. The length of the “skirt” matters!
At a casual party or gathering, try an 8” drop.It adds a festive but informal look to the event space. We recommend a drop no shorter than 6”. This keeps things neat and tidy without adding formality.
For a more formal event, such as a wedding, consider a 15” drop. The extra draping hides all hardware and adds a touch of elegance and sophistication.
To factor the drop length into your decision, use a simple formula.
For square or rectangular tables: Measure your table to determine the length and width. Then, add twice the length of your preferred drop to each dimension. That will yield the correct size tablecloth.
For circular tables: Measure your table to determine the diameter. Add twice the length of your preferred drop to that figure.
Dressing Oblong Tables
When choosing a tablecloth for an oval-shaped table, it’s appropriate to use a rectangular tablecloth. Follow the guidelines for rectangular tables above.
