picnic tables

You can go to a fabric store like joanne and buy fabric by the bolt and make runners. What kind of condition are the tables in? A fine sand paper can spruce up them up pretty easily if needed.

Another option might be burlap which I see online a lot, but I don't know how comfortable it is. It could be soft, it could be scratchy.

I am interested in this thread.... I just don't think it will work for us, the pavillion has way too many and they take up the whole area, so no place for dance floor. Are the benches attached???

We are having our reception in a friend's barn...they have provided picnic tables as well. I has a lady on etsy make our runners. They ended up being about $13 each(not bad since she lined them for us too). I think its the perfect way to classy it up some!! They look great.

Good Luck

Jennifer what is the name on wrath of who you're goin through?

Look at local rental places as some of them offer colored table runners or cloths that are the same price as if you get white.

I got mine from etsy.com her shop name is straightstitch

Mine were patterned, lined, and have ruffles at the end. For $13 each. Super fast turnaround time. I ordered them on a Monday and she was done and ready to ship by Thursday.

I'm sure if you dont want them lined or have ruffles they'd be quite a bit cheaper. I just had a very light fabric so lining was a must

Good Luck

I couldn't believe it when I found this site! Cheaper than renting and they are restaurant quality table clothes. I went with plain white, but colors are the same price. The 60x102 should fit a picknick table fine, only $7.65 each, free shipping, and they have sales all the time. They also have runners for $2.

LOVE linentablecloth.com!

Thank you so much ladies! I am for sure gonna look at etsy and linentablecloth... hopefully I can make something work. =)

Hey Megan, I would suggest you to have a look on spandex table covers. These are awesome in look and very cost effective too. We did the linens from sculptwareonline and were pretty satisfied with the material quality and after sales support.

Great post

In wedding receptions tables like this

Hope to see more of this

This thread is really old, but for anyone reading these for ideas, like me, smartyhadaparty.com has tablecloths for $5.99 and table runners for .89 each. That's a great deal and where I'll be ordering my tablecloths. I want the whole picnic tables covered. I'm even going to order extra, and cut strips for the bench seat parts so people don't worry about sitting on picnic tables that might be dirty. Of course I'll be wiping them down first.
