Selecting the right (oval tablecloths or) rectangular tablecloth size adds a touch of sophistication. It also ensures that your rectangle tables look well-organized and put-together. (A rectangle table linen works on an oblong or oval table.)
To determine your tablecloth size, you need the rectangular table’s dimensions. Now that you’re set, let’s take a look at some standard rectangle sizes.
Square tables bring a contemporary touch to restaurant layouts. Common sizes include 24 inches for cozy corners, 36 inches for small group settings, and 48 inches for larger parties. Some restaurants only offer square tables, but they will use several in a row to add additional seating capacity.
Highboy tables, also known as cocktail tables or bistro tables, are a popular choice for events. They are a stylish and functional addition to any party.
These taller tables look great with linens designed to fit their unique table dimensions. With a great fit, expect a polished and sophisticated appearance. This type of table calls for a size tablecloth allowing for a full tablecloth drop.

Choosing the correct tablecloth size creates a sense of uniformity and cohesion. You want a tablecloth draping perfecting over a table just so. Too short and parts of the table are left exposed. Too long and it looks messy.
Additionally, getting the tablecloth size right ensures practicality. With the right tablecloth size you prevent tripping hazards caused by excess fabric. You also avoid accidental tugs or pulls that could disrupt the entire table setting. A well-fitted tablecloth allows for smooth movement around the table. This makes it easier for guests and staff to navigate the dining area.
While you may not think these details matter, they do. Think back to events that either lacked tablecloths or had disappointing linens. From wrong sizes to worn out linens, these table coverings leave a lasting impression. So let’s make a good impression!
Choose the correct size tablecloth and demonstrate your attention to detail and consideration.
Tablecloth sizing is based on accurate measurements and drop length.
Ex) Formal events call for a floor-length drop that touches the floor (or just above)
Ex) Other special events can opt for formal or a more standard size lap-length drop of 8-15 inches
Lastly, account for overhang. Be sure that there is enough fabric overhang on all sides. Exposed table lengths are never in-style. Standard overhang is around 6-12 inches. However, this can vary based on your personal preference and/or event’s formality. Proper overhang ensures a neat and polished appearance.

The amount of space between guests is dependent on the type of cuisine, type of restaurant, restaurant owner’s preference, etc. However, a common guideline in the hospitality industry is to provide around 24 inches to 30 inches of space per guest. This allows some elbow room and ease in moving in and out of the restaurant chair.
