I'm dumb...question about tablecloths / linen rental

Hi, if the tables at my reception hall are 60” round and 72” round, do I order that EXACT size in a tablecloth or larger??

TIA!!!

It's not a dumb question, if you order the exact size, it might not drape enough, when you go to order your linens, you should ask them just to be sure, but my best guess would be to size them up a bit to have a nice drape effect.

you order the size that matches the dimensions of the table. They are made to fit with a standard drop on the edges. I don't know what that is exactly.

eta: but you can ask what it is.

you order a 60' round for that size table, they are set a standard drape size...I always go a size bigger though

I will ask FH tonight, he use to be in the linen business...

not a particular website yet...just shopping around for the best prices. i might use my florist for it, but from previous experience she charges outrageous prices, so I thought I would comparison shop online also.
