Table Linens – An Essential Element to Your Party Table

​You’ve both said “yes”, and you’ve selected the venue of your dreams. The venue has tables and chairs for you, but no table linens! Park Avenue Parties has got your tables covered – we feature black, white, and ivory linens in stock year-round in a variety of lengths. Imagining something with more pizzaz? Just tell us about the look you want to achieve and we will find the table linens to suit your theme.

Speaking of length, how does one begin to think about the length of the hem of the table linen? Are there different styles or shapes of linen? The classic will always be the full-length linen, which for a 60-inch round table, would be a 120-inch round table linen; or a formidable 90x156 inch linen for an 8-foot rectangular table.

On the Western Slope of Colorado, full length linens can sometimes throw off the look of your party when you are outdoors. Dirt can easily mar the hems of white and ivory linens. That is why we offer so many different sizes! You can simply select a smaller size round or rectangular linen, or you can utilize a square table linen on a round table for a handkerchief effect. An easy way to consider your table linen length, is to think about how formal or casual you would like your party to feel. The more formal you want it to be, the longer the length of the table linen should be.

​Another variable to consider is the color for your service tables. White and ivory linens are beautiful, but when a guest at the front of the buffet line accidentally drops a meatball, everyone else in line will be staring at the spot. That is one of the reasons why we recommend using black linens for your service tables.

Table linen trivia time: Did you know that a tall cocktail table and a 60-inch round dining table use the same size table linen to achieve a full-length look?

Last but not least, a frequently over-looked option for linen rental, are our fantastic napkins! Tough enough to stand up to an entire dining experience; they come pressed and ready to place at your table-settings. And as with the rest of our table linen collections, just pop them in the provided laundry bag after your party.

Renting table linens is also an easy way to avoid purchasing single use items, and can dramatically elevate the look and feel of your party.
