It doesn't matter right?! RIGHT?! We were just trying to knock out a few things this weekend, so I brought up our contract to make some final decisions about the menu and let them know what color the tablecloths should be. And somehow, a year later, I just notice that it says "standard linens included, floor length extra". Crap. I didn't think I'd care about this but I just always pictured floor length. What does standard length mean? I have two pictures from my venue:

The second one is about 6 inches off the floor, so that can't be floor length right? Would you care as a guest if they weren't floor length? The tablecloth color will be a dark purple, and there will be blue uplighting and lots of candles if that helps...

Personally, as a guest I wouldn't notice if the linens weren't floor length. I'd be focused on the tablecloth and lighting on the table. To me it wouldn't matter too much. 

I was just looking at pictures of my venue and I'm wondering about the length of the linens as well! I'm going to have to dig out my papers and figure it out with you! Even then, if they aren't floor length, I don't plan on changing it. I'm going to spend the money elsewhere. 

I would imagine that the second picture is probably considered to be floor length, with the first one being standard.

If it's in the budget and it means that much to you, the floor length would look great. But I think that the standard length ones are awesome, too.

Honestly... I cannot remember the length of table cloths at a SINGLE wedding I've ever been to. No one will notice, and if they do, they won't care. I think that we often get caught up with every last detail, but quite frankly, no one cares if they're sitting at tables with standard or floor length linens. They are there to celebrate your special day with you and enjoy the happiness of your marriage.

And if someone seriously has the audacity to judge you based on your table cloths, their priorities are WAY out of whack, and I would reconsider their invitation.

So, to answer your question: NO! It doesn't matter! Your wedding will be awesome no matter what, because you're marrying the love of your life and people want to come share in your joy.

@bakerella: not sure yet, but if the standard length is that longer one I won't care. But yea I'm really not a fan of those shorter ones.

I actually am getting shorter linens on purpose. Floor length trips me up and just gets in my way.

@kperry3: That was my fiance's argument too, that they'll just get in the way. I do think it's cute, I'm just wondering if they'll look out of place when we've done everything else to make the room fancy. I'm gonna try and just forget about it, it is what it is!

@bakerella: yes the ivory and gold ones will be in that larger room

@bakerella: they did do a mockup before of our setting, but I didn't see the length in that photo. We're doing this all long distance so it's whatever pics they send me, otherwise I'll have to get my parents to check it out. Maybe I'll set up an appointment for them, can't hurt!

I always think the floor length looks better, but it is really annoying as a guest.  And I am always worried about what is hiding under there.  Like the PPs, I cannot remember the length of anyone's linens.  I had standard length myself because I wasn't paying extra for something that is annoying.

@soccerball: ah fair enough, we did count the chairs and thought that 12 was way too many to put at a table, and that picture above has 8 which is what I was hoping to do. I can't believe i didn't make that connection, good job!
