Round Tablecloth Sizing Guide
Preparing for an event requires patience and perseverance. You may need to plan everything starting from booking the venue, to the attire, the food up to the decorations. Aspects like reception decoration and the kind of table to use are some of the elements we forget or leave to the last minute. Oftentimes, we tend to overlook the minor details that can create a greater impression for your event.
Why choose round tables?
Round tables are a typical and timeless choice for weddings and events with bigger guest lists. This type of table is a common pick nowadays because it makes the party flow smoothly. Guests can comfortably talk and socialize around tables while following new social distancing rules. Decorating round tables starts by choosing the appropriate tablecloths because this instantly improves the overall look of the event. Today, we collected some tips and guides that you can consider in deciding the ideal tablecloth for your round tables.
Type of events
The initial and basic step to deciding what type of tablecloth to choose is to identify the party that you are throwing. If throwing a children’s party, it is best to use plastic or stain-resistant fabrics like vinyl. Kids like to run and play around so there is a higher chance of drips and spills. Look for a durable tablecloth that can resist numerous washing cycles but still maintain its quality.
For bigger and fancier events like weddings, you can consider using high quality tablecloths. While this type of event is commonly expensive, searching for a tablecloth with a sensible price but excellent quality will keep you from spending a lot more. Anniversaries and birthdays are events we celebrate annually so you can opt for a neutral tablecloth that retains its quality overtime. Round tablecloths are a popular choice for these occasions because it is an intimate and simpler occasion.
Size and shape
The size and shape of the table is a vital part in deciding what tablecloth to acquire. If you have a large number of guests, you need to have more seating capacity. Long tables are preferred for this but it creates a boxy effect and can consume a lot of space. It can make the area look confined especially if you have a smaller space. Round tables are a good alternative because they have no borders. It forms an illusion of space and creates continuity and balance between your decorations. To assist you on the size of the tablecloths that is best suited for your table, kindly refer to our round tablecloth-sizing guide before purchasing your table linens.
Choosing the fabric
Polyester is a reasonable choice for most events because of its good quality and affordability. It is also resilient compared to other materials and can resist numerous machine-washes while keeping its quality. It is a low-maintenance material fabric because it is easily air-dried and is wrinkle-resistant.
Satin tablecloths give a classy and luxurious look so it is commonly used in weddings and formal occasions. This fabric is more high-priced but if you want to create a statement and create a lavish feel for your event, it is worth the investment. You can always pair a polyester round tablecloth with a satin table overlay or runner for a similar effect on a budget.
Plastic tablecloths are the best choice for parties where spills and stains are common. This material is easy to care for and is more convenient to use. It is more economical because no special products are required to clean it. You just need to wipe it using cloth or tissue or just let it air-dry.
Tablecloths uplift the mood of the party and put everything in order. Aside from the visual benefits of table covers, it shields your furniture from stain and scratches. It boosts the entire ambiance of the place and creates an enchanting dining experience. Table linens also prevent excessive noise in the area because it creates a sufficient barrier between the table and dinnerware.
When the pandemic struck, many people became more rational in their purchases. Purchasing items rather than renting them is more practical since it is cost-efficient and you have the assurance that what you are using is clean and safe. It is a reasonable and economical alternative because we are celebrating different occasions yearly. Just mix and match the table decorations to complement the motif of your event - easy and practical!
