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

Table runner rental FAQs

How much does it cost to rent a Table runner in Chicago?

$7.70 each for one event day, based on current Chicago-area market rates. 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 Table runners do I need for 100 guests?

About 13, which comes to $100.10. Add 5-10% spares for anything guests handle, such as plates, glasses and napkins.

Can you deliver a Table runner 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.
