Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy are tablecloths so damn expensive?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

White with a silver runner and some table accessories. Girl they cost some change.

Mrs. Reid...yessssssssss they do!! I'm not doing a runner. I'm doing something called a "round" (pic below) and I know for the kind of pattern I want I will need a silver table cloth. I probably will end up with white though....UGH!!! I will have some kind of red and silver or just a red based pattern.

Very nice and elegant.

I Know the feeling I want a certain table cloth for the cake table and the price quote to rent was $200 and to buy $325 I was so shocked!!

IKR, you every thought about buying instead of renting. It sometimes come out cheaper.

Example: www.efavormart.com/linen-tablecloths-linen-napkins.aspx

I found a place on Ebay that makes them in China. It is called, Complete Wedding Supply. The email addie is *******@***********.***. I bought rectangular floor lenght for half the price of renting skirting or table cloths. They are lovely, stain and wrinkle resistant.

Rachel...OMG!!! WOW!!

I was talking about buying April, and WHEW it's still expensive. I will checkout that site, and see what their prices are like. THANKS!!!!

I'm going through the same thing but the ladies help last night with efavormart.com, smartyhada party.com, and ebay. I've seen some great deals. I can buy now and sell them later!

THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS CAROLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! You are my hero!!! May I ask how much did you pay????

they are expensive...my venue is wanting $20 per table plus 20% service charge...so thank god the standard linen(ivory)goes with my colors)

@ carole how did you find the table clothes on EBAY?

I was just going to post about the ebay store that carole mentioned. I paid 224 for 20 120 round white table cloths

Ikr definitely look into buying, it is probably cheaper. but definitely do not use efavormart. I have been through hell with them and they have horrible customer service. And if you Google them you come up with thousands of complaints. Try table cloth factory or another online retailer.

You should also consider an overlay. They're quite a bit cheaper than tablecloths, but if you get one that covers the whole table, you'll still get the look you want. I bought mine at www.efavormart.com

Ha! Now I see Melissa's post not to buy from them. My experience was fine. My experience on eBay was awful- the color was all wrong, and I couldn't return them. I didn't have to return anything to efavormart, so I don't know about them.

@first lady- $20?!?!?! why rent when you can buy for less then that and then re-sell and get some of your money back!

so far i've looked at all the websites people have posted (the ebay one, efavormart, tableclothsfactory, smarty had a party, linentableclothes) and they are all really within like a $1 of each other. at least for plain black/white ones. so really it would come down to the cheapest shipping or if you had a coupon code....

I just got some linen like tablecloths from smartyhadaparty. My parents didn't want the hassle of selling back tablecloths (or dry cleaning the ones offered by the church that weren't even all the same color). The ones we got are pretty nice. They are soft to the touch, but disposable! I don't know if you'd be able to find silver, though.

Jen...I ordered a bunch of stuff from them and the products were fine but once a company treats their customers the way they did I refuse to use them again and would not want anyone to have to deal with that.

The prices are amazing! And orders over $275 are free shipping

I'm getting mine from there

Im getting mine from smartyhadaparty too 13.99 each and im going to resell them

Im also getting silver ones

I'd look around! My florist is doing all my linens and overlays for roughly about $20 a table....and I don't have to worry about reselling or bothering someone to setup the day of...everyone can relax and enjoy the day! Look for the florists that are NOT widely advertized...those are the ones who will charge you $$$$$$$ simply bc thay can.
