Used tablecloths?!
Used tablecloths?
I am looking for used tablecloths for my wedding. Or really cheap new tablecloths. 90-120" round for 20 tables. anyone got any or any ideas?
Answers:
try renting them from a party supply store or get in contact with a restaurant linen service
That is a hard size to find. Try a dollar store, you may have to overlap them to get the right size. YOUR BEST BET would be a party supply store or rental place, sometimes they are getting rid of their old merchandise.
You can either rent them from a rental place or buy inexpensive plastic ones from a Cardware type store. Ask the church, banquet hall, or wherever it is that you are holding the reception...often they have great sources.
CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming wedding.

Would these work for you?
Go to a dept. store like Dillard's or Mervyn's in their linen dept. Look for some that are polyester, have woven-in satin stripes, and come in all colors. They come folded flat in see-thru plastic packages, and come in all sizes, including really long rectangles. They are not very expensive, but always look great! Just wash and dry, fold or hang while hot. Hardly anything stains them. I can't recall the brand, but they do advertise on teh package something about "stain release" agent built in.
You may even try TJMaxx or Marshall's, but you may not find enough there that match, since they sorta carry odds & ends.
If you can live with a square cloth for a round table, I'd get a friend who sews well to handle this for you. Walmart has fabric for a dollar a yard. Cut to length and sew up the two raw edges. May need one seam up the middle for the width your talking about. Easy, cheap, and you get color/pattern you like!
