Help! Plastic tablecloths?!

What do the tables look like, and how many will you be using?

I assume your wedding is small, mine was as well. I'm about a frugal as they come and I personally wouldn't use plastic tablecloths. I didn't have much of a budget at the time of my wedding either.

Sounds like your wedding is at a church, I'd speak to someone to see if there's anything available to use from the church. My wedding was at a very relaxed church and linen table clothes were included in the chapel rental fee. In the house of worship I grew up in, if a situation like this arose then recent brides would sometimes let a wedding borrow things like that from them.

Worth a shot.

Are the tables so bad they won't work uncovered? They may be fine as they are but with some floating candles placed on them maybe.

"It's not a party if you don't rent linens!" Sage advice from my wedding cake decorator little sister. We say it all the time. I rent linens for my children's birthdays!

Try smartyhadaparty.com to buy. They have linen table cloths as low at $3.99 for purchase. Most rental places will have a 6ft lap length table cloth for about $15 dollars, floor length for $25. Go for it.

If you have a shop like a Christmas Tree Shop near you they usually have decently cheap tables cloths that are usually pretty good quality. We have a few that have lasted us a number of Christmas' and Thanksgivings! You might also be able to snag a coupon to cheapen them even more.
