Table skirts are a fantastic way to provide a streamlined approach to your buffet tables, event registration tables or trade show booth. They’re perfect for providing ample coverage so you can store items under the table you need – while still allowing you to provide a sleek, finished event. When you want to outfit your folding event tables with table skirting how can you figure out what size table skirt you need if you don’t already know? Here’s the guidelines below:

4ft rectangle table

Most 4ft rectangle tables are 4ft by 30 inches wide therefore to ensure you have the proper amount of skirting you need a 13ft long tableskirt (at least). How did I get that number? Side 1 is 48 inches, side 2 is 30 inches, side 3 is 48 inches and side 4 is 30 inches. 48+48+30+30 = 156 inches / 12 inches per foot = 13 feet

6ft rectangle table

Most 6ft rectangle tables are 6ft by 30 inches wide therefore to ensure you have the proper amount of skirting for ample coverage you need a tableskirt that is at least 17ft long.

8ft rectangle table

Most 8ft rectangle tables are 8ft by 30 inches wide therefore to ensure you have the proper amount of skirting to cover your entire table you need a tableskirt that is at least 21 ft long.

We like to lay out how products work for our customers so that they can make an informed decision based on their needs. We write a lot of pro and con blog posts as well as product 1 versus product 2 blog posts to provide comparison. Last week I talked about the differences that exist between the ruched spandex banquet chair covers versus the spandex banquet chair covers. This week I’m going to talk about the differences that exist between ruched spandex banquet chair covers versus polyester banquet chair covers. Read on to see the similarities and differences.

Ruched Spandex Banquet Chair Covers:

• Fits a teardrop backed banquet chair
• Used more often in weddings
• Gathered, ruffled look
• Adds texture so sashes or florals aren’t necessary (though still used for extra décor oomph)
• Machine washable
• Guests can put their purses under the chair without it showing to others
• Harder to put on as the legs need to be fit into the chair cover feet
• No need for steaming or ironing
• More expensive than spandex banquet chair covers (because more material and elastic is needed)
• Elastic can be stretched over time creating a baggier silhouette

Polyester Banquet Chair Covers:

• Traditional silhouette
• Easily decorated with sashes and florals
• Machine washable
• Draped casual look
• Less expensive than ruched chair covers
• Guests can put their purses under the chair without it showing to others
• Easy to put on
• Needs to be immediately removed from the dryer or steamed / ironed as it wrinkles
• Only fits a rounded back banquet chair

There are a ton of wedding chair covers available in the marketplace. Some are easy to see the differences between them – a spandex folding chair cover doesn’t fit a banquet chair and a polyester banquet chair cover doesn’t fit a folding chair cover. But what about chair covers that fit the same chair? How do you determine the best chair cover for your needs? We’ve rounded up the differences between a ruched banquet chair cover versus a spandex banquet chair cover so you can make a decision what’s right for you.

Ruched Banquet Chair Covers

• Fits a teardrop backed banquet chair
• Used more often in weddings
• Gathered, ruffled look
• Adds texture so sashes or florals aren’t necessary (though still used for extra décor oomph)
• Machine washable
• No need for steaming or ironing
• More expensive than spandex banquet chair covers (because more material and elastic is needed)
• Elastic can be stretched over time creating a baggier silhouette

Spandex Banquet Chair Covers

• Fits a teardrop backed banquet chair
• Modern sleek silhouette
• Used more often in corporate events and weddings
• Easily decorated with sashes or florals
• Machine Washable
• No need for steaming or ironing (wrinkle free)
• Less expensive than ruched chair covers

Hopefully this helps you figure out which chair cover best suits your venue or company!

Last year we introduced square spun polyester tablecloths to our inventory. Spun polyester has a higher thread count then our regular polyester tablecloths – making it thicker and more luxurious. The square spun polyester tablecloths are often used as table overlays so that banquet halls and event venues can use regular (less expensive) polyester linens on the tables with square overlays that are more expensive overtop. We heard from our customer’s that there was also a need for spun polyester in rounds and rectangles. I’m pleased to announce that we now have the following sizes in stock and available in our Mississauga warehouse:

• 60” x 102” rectangle spun polyester tablecloth – in white – fits a 6ft table with a half drop
• 60” x 126” rectangle spun polyester tablecloth – in white – fits a 8ft table with a half drop
• 90” x 132” rectangle spun polyester tablecloth – in white and black – fits a 6ft table with a full drop
• 90” x 156” rectangle spun polyester tablecloth – in white and black – fits a 8ft table with a full drop
• 90” round spun polyester tablecloth – in white – fits a 30” low cruiser table with a full drop
• 108” round spun polyester tablecloth – in white and black – fits a 48” round folding table with a full drop
• 120” round spun polyester tablecloth – in white and black – fits a 60” round folding table with a full drop
• 132” round spun polyester tablecloth – in white – fits a 72” round folding table with a full drop

Chair covers are a great way for brides to really pull together an event venue or a room at a modest budget. Because of this, banquet halls, party rental, golf courses and other venues should think about investing in chair covers to help sell their event space. A bride who doesn’t like your event chairs (but likes your staff and the rest of your space) will be more likely to book their event with you if you can provide chair covers.

We’ve been slowly adding to our wedding chair cover category – first starting with polyester banquet chair covers and spandex banquet chair covers. Then, moving on to source spandex folding chair covers.

I’m pleased to announce we now have Ruched Spandex Chair Covers in stock at our Toronto Warehouse.

Machine washable and 100% spandex polyester fabric, our Ruched spandex banquet chair covers are available in black or white. They are wrinkle resistant for ease of use and maintenance and feature a ruched (ruffled) back to give some texture and elegance to a wedding or special event.
