How to Pick the Right Tablecloth Size (With Size Chart)

Choosing the right size tablecloth is essential for a neat, elegant look. Here’s how to find the perfect fit for any table shape.

1. Measure Your Table

Use this simple formula:
Table Length + (Drop × 2) = Tablecloth Length
Table Width + (Drop × 2) = Tablecloth Width

Example:
A 60" x 90" table with a 10" drop → 80" x 110" tablecloth.

2. Determine the Ideal Drop

  • 6–8 inches: Casual dining

  • 10–12 inches: Formal events

  • 15+ inches: Wedding and luxury décor

3. Round Tablecloth Sizing

Measure the diameter and add twice the drop.
Example: 48" table + (10" × 2) = 68" tablecloth.
