Introduction
Although you may not think of table linens as important as your wedding gown or party playlist, they play an important role in the aesthetic and practical design of your wedding or event.
Tablecloths, napkins, runners, and so forth... Choosing the ideal one might be difficult. Just as difficult? Getting enough table linens for your future event!
Choosing table linen is only the first step.
There's also the issue of logistics: where will you locate enough table linens for your wedding? Three or four may be simple... So what if you have 10-12 tables being put up at your venue?
You have two options: buy table linen or consider wedding table linen for hire.
Which one is right for you?
Your Budget: Should You Hire or Buy?
It clearly makes more sense to table cloth hire rather than purchase them.
In the beginning, hiring tablecloths is more affordable than purchasing them. Second, you won't have to worry about storage when the events are over. Finally, as your table linen rental experts, we handle everything, including delivery, setup, and laundry.
Simply choose your linens, and we will handle the rest, delivering a stress-free experience. This will free up time for you to dedicate to other parts of your wedding preparations.
What Is The Most Affordable Option?
If you ask us, you can simply hire a tablecloth.
Let's be honest: how likely is it that you'll reuse your wedding table linen after you've said: "I Do"?
And considering how much new tablecloths may cost, that's a lot of money to spend on something you'll only use for a few hours.
Simply said, wedding table linen for hire is less expensive, end of the story. It's nearly usually less expensive and doesn't leave you with a closet full of table linens you'll never use. Not to mention, it means you'll have more money to spend on other aspects of your wedding!
Not Enough Space?
Who needs more than a dozen tablecloths? You could certainly reuse one or two. But what about a room full of table linens? We believe it is really unnecessary!
What's the solution? Wedding table linen for hire.
Not only is it less expensive, but hiring wedding table linen eliminates the need to wash and store excess tablecloths, napkins, and runners.
Consider the purchase of table linens.
Uncovered tables won't be present at any of your tables, that much is true. That also means you'll have an excess of tablecloths. It's good stuff, so you wouldn't throw it out. Instead, you'll have to find a place to keep them.
With the average wedding's guest count, that may imply a lot of stuffed wardrobes and full garages. You won't have to worry about this if you hire table linens. In reality, all you have to do is place them in their supplied bags and mail them back. That's right, even the laundry is on us!
How Wedding Table Linen Hire Can Save You Time
So you've ordered enough table linens to handle hundreds of visitors. That's great; now you just have to get them ready for your wedding.
Indeed, purchasing table linen is not the end of the story. You may even need to wash, dry, and press them in preparation for your big occasion. Double that by the number of tables at your wedding, and you've got a lot of work ahead of you.
Fortunately, this need not be the case.
When you hire tablecloths, they are delivered to you already washed and ironed; all that is left to do is place them on the tables. And, once the vows are spoken, the bellies are filled, and the toasts are given, you won't have to add "washing table linens" to your list of post-wedding responsibilities.
Think About The Tablecloth's Drop
The 'drop' of the tablecloth is the next thing to consider. With the tablecloths you rent, you may pick between a 9-inch drop and a 29-inch drop.
The quantity of fabric that hangs down from the table and covers the table legs and bottom is referred to as the drop. A longer drop might appear more elegant and sophisticated, and many people will choose a longer drop on both.
As a result, the larger the tablecloth and the smaller the table, the greater the drop. But not all tablecloths are the same!
The size recommendations and the drop per table, per cloth, are shown here because there is more science involved. For instance, if you hire a 120-inch circular tablecloth, your 7-foot round table would have an 18-inch drop.
Then There's The Matter Of Color…
We offer a plethora of colorful tablecloths to complement your event theme, but before you get carried away, remember the process:
- Make a headcount.
- Recognize the environment.
- Arrange the appropriate number of tables.
- Determine the desired drop.
- Then look for your ideal tablecloth.
