Today let’s talk about what you need to know when renting tables for your reception. If you are using a reception venue that does not include tables or chairs as part of the rental agreement, you will have to go out and rent these items. The majority of tables that are used at receptions come in two sizes, rounds of 60” or 72”. 60” rounds are the most common. These tables will seat 8 to 10 people. 8 people comfortably, 9 people ok and 10 people that are squeezed in together. 72” tables will seat 10 to 12 people.
Along with tables you will need to rent your linens for these tables. Here are some terms you will need to know. First is table underlay cloth. Underlay linens go under decorative overlay linens. Most tables have two linens. Underlays go on the bottom. They are usually a solid color that ties into your color scheme. These linens are most often draped to the floor for a pretty look covering unsightly table legs. A length of 120” to 132” . You can also rent them in a lap length (meaning they only hang to a seated guests lap).
Your overlay cloth is the linen that goes on top of the underlay. This is the decorative topper and normally come in 84” to 90”. Overlays come in all colors, and all textures. They shimmer, come covered in beading, cloth flowers, embroidery and just about anything else you can imagine. You can choose whatever goes with your wedding colors or themes. They really add the wow to your event.
