Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure for a tablecloth?
To measure for a tablecloth, start by measuring the length and width of your table (or the diameter if it’s round). Then decide how much drop—the fabric that hangs over the edge—you prefer. For casual dining, a 6–8 inch drop works well; for formal occasions, aim for 10–15 inches. Our Tablecloth Size Calculator does the math for you, recommending the closest standard size.
What size tablecloth do I need for my table?
Use the Yourtablecloth Tablecloth Calculator to find your perfect fit. Simply enter your table dimensions and preferred drop length, and it will suggest the ideal round, square, or rectangle tablecloth size. If you’re unsure, select the next size up—extra overhang always looks more elegant.
How much should a tablecloth hang over the table?
For everyday meals, a 6–8 inch drop is comfortable and practical. For formal dinners, weddings, or restaurants, a 10–15 inch drop gives a polished, elegant look. Always measure both sides of your table so the drop is even all around.
Does table shape matter when choosing a tablecloth?
Yes! A round table requires a circular cloth measured by diameter, while square and rectangle tables use length and width. The Yourtablecloth Tablecloth Size Calculator adjusts for each shape automatically to help you get the right fit every time.
