The Perfect Match: How to Size Linens for Your Tables Like a Pro

Introduction: The Secret to Event Elegance

The correct linen size instantly transforms a utilitarian 6 ft. Banquet Table into an elegant focal point. Using the wrong size—too short, too long—can make even the highest-quality table look unprofessional. Use this quick guide to coordinate your order perfectly.

Section 1: Sizing Basics: The Drop Length

  • Formal Drop (Floor Length): Linen hangs to the floor (recommended for weddings, galas).
  • Informal Drop (Lap Length): Linen hangs to the chair seat (suitable for cocktail parties or buffets).

Section 2: The Banquet Table Guide (Your Inventory)

For our standard 30-inch tall tables, aim for a full drop to conceal the legs and storage underneath:

  • 6-Foot Banquet Table: You need a 90" x 132" rectangular linen for a full, formal drop.
  • 8-Foot Banquet Table: You need a 90" x 156" rectangular linen for a full, formal drop.

Section 3: The Round Table Guide (Your Inventory)

Round tables facilitate conversation and require specific sizing:

  • 60-Inch Round Table: You need a 120-inch round linen for a formal, floor-length drop that looks sleek and professional.
