How To Choose Table Linen

If your place of business often needs to hold functions, or is rented out for weddings, receptions, or other events, then you want to have some good table linen on-hand. Table linen is an important part of any rental hall because they can serve as decoration and protect the tables that are being used for many things, by many people. Choosing table linen can seem somewhat difficult at first, because there are a few things to consider, and you need to find a one-size-fits-all type of linen that will be appropriate for any event. But choosing table linen doesn’t have to be hard. You just need to think about what kind of table linen you need, and how you can make a lot out of just a little!

The first thing you need to think about are the table linen basics. What type of tables do you have …. rectangular or round? This will determine whether you need banquet tablecloths or round tablecloths. Whichever one you buy, remember also that it’s always a good idea to have a few of the other kind on hand as well. Usually, functions are not constructed solely of banquet tables or solely of round tables so make sure you know how many you need of each so that you can be properly prepared.

You’ll also want to consider the color of the table linens that you choose. Because you’ll need the linens to serve many functions, it’s probably best to choose white tablecloths and then purchase extra table overlays, table runners or decorative overlays that can be added onto the look when needed. And, when you’re buying pretty tablecloths and accessories, don’t forget to buy matching linen napkins too. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to match these up afterwards!

Lastly, buy in bulk. You’re going to need your table linen to sometimes be able to accommodate 200 guests so you’re going to be buying a lot of table linen and wedding table linen. Buying wholesale is really the only way to get the linen you need, and not spend a small fortune doing it.
