60 X 60 Christmas Tablecloths (2024)

FAQs

What size tablecloth should I get for a 60 table? ›

A 60” round table would be best served by a 120” round floor-length tablecloth or a 90” round lap-length tablecloth.

A tablecloth that hangs 6 to 10 inches over the edge of your table is ideal for casual dining, while a tablecloth that hangs 30 inches over the edge of your table, brushing the floor, is ideal for formal occasions.

Rectangular Tables

To get the length of your tablecloth measure the length of the table and add twice the desired drop (length you want the tablecloth to overhang the table).

On Christmas Eve, the table is covered with three tablecloths. Each tablecloth is slightly smaller than the one beneath it so that all three can be seen. Three white candles are then placed on the table to represent the Holy Trinity.

The most popular round guest table is 60” (5 ft.). A 60” Round Table can comfortably seat 8 guests. Many rental companies state that a 60-inch Round Table can accommodate 8-10 guests.

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.

Tabletop Tip and Tricks: - If your tablecloth is too small, trying folding it into a square and turning sideways on the table. - If your chargers are old and dated, spray paint them. These were dated silver and I painted them a gunmetal grey.

Determine the Drop Length

Drop length refers to the length of the tablecloth hanging over each table's sides. A lap-length tablecloth will be suitable if it has a casual look. A floor length will be ideal for an elegant tablecloth look. Usually, the tablecloth drop length in a formal setup will be 15 inches.

Traditionally, half drops are suitable for casual and informal parties. However, when it comes to formal occasions such as evening weddings and galas, your table linens should drop all the way down to the floor.

How do you calculate tablecloth size? ›

Step 1: Measure the diameter of the table (the length across the table). Step 2: Decide what drop length you want. Step 3: Take your desired amount of drop and multiply it by two (for each end of the tablecloth). Step 4: Add that amount of drop (drop length x two) to the table's diameter.

The half drop: for a casual style, we recommend your tablecloth drops evenly around the table, anywhere between 25cm to 30cm. The puddle drop: for an enormously lavish, Rococo-style vibe, arrange your tablecloth well beyond the full drop length to create a puddle effect on the floor.

Enhance the Christmas atmosphere by setting the table with special holiday dinnerware. Plates, bowls, and glasses adorned with festive patterns and motifs can elevate your table setting. Don't be afraid to mix and match different patterns and colours to create an eclectic and visually appealing arrangement.

If you want something traditional, opt for a red or green tablecloth. For a more modern look, try white or black. And if you really want to make a statement, go for a gold or silver tablecloth.

We recommend an overhang of 20 cm at each side of your table so remember to add at least 40cm to the width and length of your table to allow for the overhang – you want your tablecloth to drape over the edges of your table for a nice, neat finish.

A 70-inch round tablecloth is ideal for a 30- to 46-inch round or square table to deliver a standard drop length. The maximum table size it could fit would be 58 inches.

Rectangular 60"x102" Tablecloths

60” x 102” size tablecloths are the perfect tablecloths to provide an even half way drop on standard 6 ft rectangular tables with a height of 30”.

For a 60-inch round table, you have various options, such as a 90-inch round tablecloth, a 108-inch round tablecloth, or a 72×72-inch square tablecloth. These sizes will provide a drop length of roughly 15 to 24 inches, leaving some visibility of the table legs.

To not feel like you'd be slamming into a wall if you stood up, and to allow someone to walk behind you, if necessary, without having to turn sideways, figure 5 feet on each side of the table. So, a total of 10′ around the table, the table is 5′ across, so a 15′ room. A very minimum would be 13′.
