    I've been thinking about using sashes for runners.  Do you think it would work?  They're 8x108.  I was thinking about buying from here.  It would be a huge bargain if it would work.

    Hey, I was thinking about doing the same thing.  I think why not, as long as you realize that they'll be skinnier then normal (which you probably won't notice).  Why don't you take a sheet or towel and fold it so that it's 8" wide, lay it on a table the same size as your reception tables and then decide?  Table runners are normally 12" so there a big enough difference but that's not to say it won't work.  Lemme know how it works out! :)

    We are doing this!  We are renting ours ($2/each... compared to $6/each for actual table runners).  I have some pictures from the linen rental place that I will try to post later this evening.

    Hi phisphan419... I am actually doing this too but what I am doing bc the sashes are only 8" wide, I am doubling them and using two different colors, the colors for our wedding ar navy blue and fushia.  I will place 1 blue and 1 pink on each table to bring in both colors of the wedding.  Also, I ordered mine from efavormart bc you can purchase items in any amount, I noticed on the site you attached you have to order in bulks of 10 (we have 13 tables).. I'm not sure how many tables you have but if its a number bw 11-29 look into that site... Good Luck and let us know what you decide!!

    Future Puida - are you just laying the different color runners beside each other or one layered on top of the other?  Are you using the organza or the satin?  Thanks for the tip on efavormart, I'll check it out.
