Table cloths/runners

september2018, on November 14, 2017 at 7:30 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 3

I need help figuring out what size table runners I need. My tables are 96 inches by 30 inches and 29 inches to the floor. I'm pretty sure for floor length tablecloths I need 90 x 132, but what about runners?

    Runners look best when they have some overhang on each end, unless you are butting 8 foot banquet tables end to end to make a King's table. In that case you can get away without the overhang.

    Your tables are 96" long. If you have a minimum 12"overhang at each end you need 120" long runners. The overhang can be as long as you would like it, 15-18" is common but to the floor is also a very elegant look, so anywhere from 120 to 156".

    Banquet tables are usually 30" in height. If you want floor length cloths, they would be 156x90".

    You add the length of the table (96) and the height x 2 (30x2=60)=156.

    Oh okay gotcha thank you so much! So then would the 90 by 132 tablecloth be like a mid length?

    The long side would be to the floor with the 90x132 tablecloth on your 8' tables, and the short side would have an 18" drop (so 11" off the floor). If you want to the floor all the way around, you need a 90x156 tablecloth.

    This is a good chart - http://www.cvlinens.com/size_chart.php
