Planning tips

Getting linens right

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.

Questions

Cloth napkin rental FAQs

How much does it cost to rent a Cloth napkin in Chicago?

$0.83 each for one event day. Delivery and pickup (usually $150-$400 per order), setup, a damage waiver (about 10%) and sales tax are added for your venue, so a delivered order typically costs 35-60% more than the rental rates alone. Multi-day rentals are quoted on request.

How many Cloth napkins do I need for 100 guests?

About 100, which comes to $83. Add 5-10% spares for anything guests handle, such as plates, glasses and napkins.

Can you deliver a Cloth napkin to my venue?

Yes. We arrange delivery, setup and pickup anywhere in Chicago & suburbs, including Evanston, Oak Park, Oak Brook, Schaumburg, Naperville and nearby towns. Tell us about stairs, elevators or load-in windows and we include them in the quote.

How far ahead should I reserve?

For May to October weekends, reserve 2-4 months ahead; tents, specialty chairs and dance floors go first. For other dates, 2-4 weeks is usually enough. Your quote holds nothing until you approve it.

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.
