Renting vs. buying tablecloths? Help!

We did that, and it worked out well for us. I had a section on my site where I advertised items for sale even before the wedding, and had people put down a deposit to reserve them. And the tablecloths were among the things that were all reserved even before the wedding.

Perfect, thanks for the words of confidence I was adding up stuff for rentals - linens, dinner plates, forks and knives -- and it was more than $600, not including tax. Finding it reallllly hard to justify that cost, so I think I will go the buy/resell route instead.

I plan on buying too. Nobody in my area can beat linentablecloth.com

I was gonna rent the linen and buy the runner.... maybe i'll buy both

Some other possibilities to consider:

Dishes

* Celebration Collection Studio Gold Dinnerware

* Celebration Collection Studio Platinum Dinnerware

Flatware

* Forks, $1.49 a dozen

* Knives, $3.11 a dozen

* Spoons, $0.99 a dozen

I ordered my linen from linentablecloth.com. The quality is great and the price is cheaper then renting in my area.

Check ebay its a company on there called afordableelgance they are very cheap and some of there bids on things start at 1.00

I just purchased all of mine for 246 dollars. I got two banquet table cloths, two fabric bolts, 12 table clothes, 12 table runners and 90 chair sashes.

I bought all of my 120 rounds from someone locally off of Craigslist for $7.50 each!!! They had only been used once and they were immaculate! If you're in an area large enough I'd watch CL for a bit. I hadn't seen any of the 132 rounds and I ordered those from efavormart.com. With shipping they were the best price that I found.

Has anyone purchased the Beige from linentablecloth.com? Wondering if its by chance a taupe-ish or true beige/brown. Thanks!

Linentablecloth.com is amazing! They were actually cheaper than the rental company in my town, by about $5 dollars a tablecloth. Plus, they frequently have coupons and sales going on. I bought 24 132" ivory tablecloths for $284. They arrived on time and in perfect condition!

You can always check craigslist. But it might take a while before anything you want shows up (if ever). Also, you're not guaranteed quality. But it might work out, like it did for Lala!

Buy then you can sell them later....

I am renting...I am saving 150 bucks including delivery then linen tablecloth, plus I don't have to worry about sizes of tables and chairs

Hi, I was wondering if anyone on here had 132" rounds to sell? Kathleen, you purchased EXACTLY what I need! Thanks!!
