    Okay, we're having 60'' round tables...

    What size should our tablecloths be?  Do our runners need to be the same size, or if we have floor length tablecloths can our table runners be just over the edge of the tables?  I'm having a hard time finding pics to visualize...

    Essentially I need to buy the fabric for our table runners I'm making asap and I'm trying to calculate how much fabric I need, but I'm trying to decide how long the runners should be...

    Suggestions?  Advice?  Tips?  Thoughts?

    THANKS!!!!

    dizzy,

    hmmm, so maybe we should talk....

    my ceremony is labor day weekend 2011, and i will be having 60" tables as well...i am thinking possible brideshare?  they take a 120" table cloth, in order to go down to the floor.  as for runners, they do not need to go all the way down as far as the tablecloth in my opinion, but they should hang at least halfway down between the table and the floor.  are you buying or renting tablecloths?

    Renting white tablecloths will be $17 from the location, and I found online where I can buy them for about $14, so it would be cheaper for me to buy them and then sell them.  So I'd be interested in a brideshare option... I have the following tables: 9 60'' rounds, 2 24'' rounds, 2 48'' rounds, and 5 72'' banquet tables.... We haven't finalized the tables, but that is what the reception/ceremony location estimated for us...

    Then I am making my table runners, so I just added 30'' to the measurement, so they'll hang 15'' down.  I think it would be fun for them to go all the way down, but I don't think it would be worth the extra cost...
