Determine Your Drop
The length of your tablecloth drop corresponds to the formality of your table setting. For a casual setting, a 6-8” drop is considered appropriate while a 10-12″ drop or more is recommended for a more formal occasion. Ensure that your chairs are pushed in when measuring the desired drop length for accuracy. To help visualize the length of the drop, place a flat sheet over your table and adjust the edge of the sheet at varying drop lengths according to your personal preference. Measure from the edge of the table to the bottom of the sheet as your drop.
Calculate
For rectangular and square tables, multiply your desired drop by two and add that number to both the length and width of the tabletop. For round and oval tables, multiply your desired drop by two and add that number to the diameter of the table.
