Banquet hall tables most often come in standard sizes. To order the right sized tablecloths for your special event, you need to know what table sizes are provided by the banquet hall you’re renting. Once you have that information, you can refer to the following Banquet Hall Tablecloth Chart to figure out what size tablecloths you’ll need.

As noted in our recent blog post about calculating tablecloth sizes, the preferred drop of the tablecloth depends on several factors including how formal the event is and what type of table is being used. Measurements are based on the standard table height of 29″-30″ from the tabletop to the floor. Here’s a quick synopsis of drops:

  • Informal dinners call for a drop of 8″-12″.
  • Formal dinners call for a drop of 10″-15″ so the tablecloth comes to the guest’s lap.
  • Lavish receptions (or when using tables with legs that you want covered) use 29″-30″ drops to the floor.
  • Buffet, Cake, and Gift Tables use 29″-30″ drops to the floor.
