How to work out what you need
- 1
Match each table
Floor-length cloths look formal; lap-length cloths are cheaper and fine for casual events.
- 2
One napkin per guest
Add 5% spares, plus cocktail napkins if you are serving passed appetizers.
- 3
Don't forget service tables
Gift, cake, DJ and buffet tables need linens too; they show up in photos.
- 4
Accent layers
Runners, overlays and chair sashes add color without replacing every tablecloth.

Linens rental FAQs
What size tablecloth do I need for an 8-foot table?
A 90"x156" cloth reaches the floor on an 8' x 30" banquet table. A 90"x132" cloth gives a lap-length drop, and 60"x120" just covers the top.
Are linen rentals cleaned and pressed?
Yes. Rental linens arrive laundered and pressed. Most vendors ask you to shake out food and return them dry; wet or stained returns can carry a fee.
Should I rent napkins or buy them?
Rental cloth napkins cost about $0.75-1.25 each including laundering, which is usually cheaper than buying and cleaning 150 napkins yourself.
Can I mix linen colors?
Yes. A neutral base cloth with a colored runner or overlay is the most budget-friendly way to bring in your palette.
