2). Choose a Perfect Fit for a Perfect Table: Shape and Size Accuracy
Whether you are dealing with square and rectangle tables, or round and elongated tables, it is crucial that you order the tablecloth that fits them perfectly. The worst feeling is realizing on the day of the event that the tablecloths you have forked out on barely fits the tables or hang over way too far.
1. To avoid any such inconvenience, follow these simple guidelines on how to pick the right size tablecloth for your tables, whether round or rectangular.
2. Next, to get the most accurate measurement, it is important to know the length of tablecloth hang you intend to have during your event or party. It is common to have a midway hang on your table when having company over, so be sure your measurements are appropriate for the table size you will be using the day of the event.

Important: In case you wish to cover your rectangular tables to the floor, the tablecloth should have Rounded Corners so there isn’t any extra fabric bunched in the corners.
Lastly, it is advised to always double check the How To Care Instructions for the fabric of the tablecloth you are purchasing, as some materials are easier to care for, while others may shrink in the washer and dryer, resulting in requiring a tad more length then you calculated.

Whether you are planning a formal event or an informal party, the three main factors that determine your tablecloth color choice are: Location, Season, and Theme of your event. Go for the colors that complement the décor of your party space and its decorative elements like the backdrop, lighting, floor plan, tableware and drapery.
For outdoor events, let the setting be your guide. Normally, bright color shades look better in sunny locations, while pastels are great in garden settings. Seasons also play a very important role in deciding for the colors of your tablecloths. Spring and summer colors tend to be lighter, while bolder colors are more appropriate during the chilled fall and winter months. Lastly and most important, your event’s theme is the factor that makes a certain color, “your color”. You can effectively create the ambiance that sets the mood for your event with the help of right colors that reflect your motif. Vibrant colors add drama, while soft hues evoke a more refined atmosphere.
