Table Linens for Rent - Sizing Guide for Every Event
Finding the right table linens for rent in Central Oregon, should not feel like a puzzle. You’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a corporate event, or a backyard dinner party, choosing the right tablecloth is easier than you think. At Central Event Rentals, we make linen rentals simple, stylish, and totally stress-free. This guide will help you find the right table linen sizing for your event—and show you how to make every table look its best.
What Size Table Linen Do I Need?
Choosing the right tablecloth starts with knowing your table size and how much drop you’d like. Do you want the linen to hit the floor? Skim the edge of the chairs? Or puddle for a dramatic look?
Use the sizing chart below to find the perfect fit:
- 60″ Round Table: Use a 120″ round linen for full drop to the floor.
- 8′ Banquet Table: 90″ x 156″ provides full-length coverage.
- Cocktail Table (30″ Round x 42″ Tall): Use a 120″ round linen to tie at the center. Or a 132″ round for a puddled look.
- 6′ Banquet Table: Go with a 60″ x 120″ for lap-length drop or 90″ x 132″ for full-length.
You can also view our detailed Table Linen Sizing Chart below for exact drop lengths and puddling options.

How to Choose the Right Table Linen
Still unsure? Think about the formality of your event and the kind of vibe you’re going for.
For casual events: A drop that hits mid-leg (about 6–12″) works great!
For formal events: Floor-length linens give a clean, finished, luxury look.
For cocktail tables: A tied linen looks polished and stays in place. For something softer and more formal, a floor-length or puddled look adds a touch of elegance.
For outdoor setups: Clips or fitted styles help keep everything from flying off in the wind.
If you’re torn between two sizes, let us help—we’ve sized hundreds of events, and we’re happy to make a recommendation.
Helpful Table Linen Questions (What to Know Before You Rent)
What size table linen do I need for a bistro or cocktail table?
A bistro table is usually 30″ round and 42″ tall. For a clean, tied look, use a 120″ round linen. For a full floor drop or a puddled look, use a 132″ round.
What is linen drop length and how do I choose the right one?
Drop length refers to how far the linen hangs from the edge of your table. For formal events, full drop (to the floor) is best. For casual setups, a shorter drop works great.
What is a puddle-length table linen and when should I use it?
A puddle-length linen goes beyond the table height, creating soft fabric pooling at the base. It’s popular for weddings or events where you want an extra touch of elegance.
What is a table linen overlay and how is it used in event design?
An overlay is a smaller linen placed over a full-sized base linen. It adds texture, contrast, or color to your table design. Great for weddings, formal dinners, and themed events.
What is a linen top cover and when is it a good choice for tables?
A top cover sits just on the tabletop without any overhang. It’s often used for casual events or when layering multiple cloths.
