used tablecloths

No, I will be renting because I can't see anyone having the time or inclination to be ironing or steaming table cloths the morning of the wedding. I didn't consider crinkle table cloths, so I can't speak to those specifically.

Have you tried tablecloth factory.com they have them for $16 for the crinkle kind. if not they are like $8

I'm not sure if this will have what you're looking for, but I got my table runners here and they were pretty cheap.

Personally, I wouldn't want to use table cloths from another wedding. Red wine? Salad dressing? I'm just really picky though, that's just me. Your co worker is getting the better deal IMO.

Nicole, if she will have more tables than you will, you'd have spares in case some are stained and unusable.

Offer to pay one-quarter or one-third of the cost and you take responsibility for getting them cleaned ASAP (she may be on her honeymoon). The sooner they are cleaned, the more likely spills will wash out.

I am because I'm using the caterer is providing tablecloths. That means they've been used before :-P
