Tablecloths?

Hi,

I'm getting married on 5th May next year and trying to keep it as cheap as possible (well have no choice really as don't have the money to do otherwise haha!)

Does anyone know where I can get around 20 tablecloths for my reception?
Also are disposable/paper tablecloths ok?

    Hi
    Could you buy a few meters of plain fabric to match your colour scheme and cut it neatly to the right lengths? Don't know if this would be cheaper but places like Dunelm Mill or the market have fabrics for £1 meter quite often.

    Good luck with getting sorted

    I wouldn't go with paper or plastic table clothes - it will unnecessarily cheapen it.

    Good luck with your search - you need to find out the diameter of the tables you have first :)
    I love surprises!

    Hi,
    We had the same issue with ours, our caterers suggested we sort our own out as they charge £20
    We got 22 from Ikea. The 1st batch were £5.86 each and next lot £6.99 (all fabric btw)
