The appropriate drop depends on the occasion and the type of atmosphere you want to create. For a more formal look, create a luxurious feel with a 12" - 18" drop. For most settings an 8"-10" drop is fine. For the most casual setting, a 6" drop may also work.

How do I calculate the drop length of my tablecloth?

For a Rectangle table: Measure the width and length of your table, then subtract those numbers from the width and length of the tablecloth and then divide by 2. For a Round table: Measure your table at its widest, then subtract from the tablecloth diameter and then divide by 2. Example: Your table is a 60" round. The tablecloth is a 90" round. 90"-60"=30" 30" divided by 2=15" 15" the drop around the table!


What if the drop length on my tablecloth is not the same on each side of my table?
