Answer these two questions:

- “Do I want it to hang all the way to the floor?
Table Size | Floor Length | Lap Length |
---|---|---|
30″ | 90″ | 54″ x 54″ |
48″ | 108″ | 90″ or 72″ x 72″ |
60″ | 120″ | 90″ or 84″ x 84″ |

Not necessarily. If you choose floor length tablecloths then definitely not. Table skirts are great when you want to leave one side of the table open, like for a DJ, a buffet, or registration tables. One decorating advantage to using table skirts is that you can use simple table clothes and add some flare with ruffled, sequinned, textured, patterned, or contrasting colored skirts.
To determine space requirements, you need to know:
How many people will be attending? And, What activities are planned – seated dinner, cocktails, games, dancing, ceremony etc.
Let’s do the math… don’t be scared! Generally, to determine the number of people that can fit in a space:
For seated dinner – divide the total square footage by 8 for oblong tables and 10 for round tables. This will give you the maximum occupancy. (Dividing by 10 and 12 respectively is a more comfortable). To look at it another way, you need about 10 – 12 sqft per table set up.
For classroom style seating (chairs on only one side of the table and no food service (besides snacks) – divide the total square footage by 8.
For spectator/theater style seating only – divide the total square footage by 6.
These general guidelines don’t take into consideration things like structural columns, uneven floors, kitchen access points, and other traffic flow situations. Neither does it consider other activities that may be taking place.
Here are some guidelines for other activities:
Bar | Food Station | Buffet | DJ |
---|---|---|---|
100 sqft. | 100 sqft. | 400 sqft | 100 sqft |
Wedding Ceremony | Dance Floor | Cocktail Reception | |
---|---|---|---|
6′ per person | 4′ per person | 8′ per person |
No, sorry. We do not rent tents, stages, or bounce houses at this time. However, we will gladly direct you to some folks that do rent those items.
