Is this a good deal? Tablecloths

Jamie, on January 17, 2012 at 10:35 AM Posted in Style and Décor 0 9

There are over 20 tablecloths total, including linens for the head table. These were custom made, selling for $150. I just don't want to get stiffed and I'm not sure what linens are going for.

This reception was at the same venue where we're having ours so there's no fear of them not fitting.

    I searched for about a month total for tablecloths, trying to find the best price. I ended up going with http://www.linentablecloth.com/ - and if you friend (or "like" I forget) them on facebook they always have sales and coupons going on. I ended up getting 10%-20% off plus free shipping. :-)

    I would just price around first to make sure you get the best deal. But overall I'd say if you like those it's a pretty good price ($7.50 per tablecloth)

    I can't even find tablecloths at Sams Club for that price! I'm not sure how she secured them but looks like she didn't do a good job. I'll have to figure out a way to discreetly secure them to the tables.

    Too low?? I was going to say it seems a bit pricey for home-made, used tablecloths! They don't look very nice to me...looks like they just threw a black sheet on the table. Sorry to be blunt, but I wouldn't buy them. You should be able to rent real linens for less than that and not have to worry about if they are really clean or not! In my area, we rent them for $4.50 to give you a comparison price.

    Well, a few places I've looked at in my area are more than $7.30/tablecloth to rent.

    I'd definitely ask to see them before making your decision. They may have stains or frayed edges, which would take away from the look of your tables. If renting out your tablecloths isn't an option, I would go to a fabric store or somewhere that sells bulk fabric and price out the yardage of similar fabric (after getting the dimensions of the tables) and see if prices add up. If you are a DIY kind of bride and the price is right, maybe you will want to look into making your own table linens.

    See them in person definitely before buying. Is that the length you are wanting?
