There are some plastic tablecloths that look and even feel very much like lace. I would make certain they are this type of plastic if I had to go with plastic. Otherwise go to a fabric store and buy several yards of lace wide enough for your tables. Cut in appropriate lengths and use ribbon and iron on tape to finish the edges.

Not if is an informal/outdoor affair.
However
You may purchase some inexpensive material on sale at Walmart for a dollar a yard in your wedding colors. It would cost just as much to buy plastic covers.
Pay no mind to the people that have been rude to you here. Honestly, people in receptions are more concerned about the food and drink than the table covers.
Congratulations and best of luck

no its not, I once had to decorate for a semi-formal affair at the last minute with limited funds. I ran to the dollar store LOL and bought white and lt blue plastic table clothes. I covered all the tables with the white and then I cut up the blue into square sections and placed them on top of the white. In the center, I cut another small square in white and put it in the opposite direction of the blue. In the very center, I put a small vase with lt blue carnations and white babies breath. Believe it or not, the layering and colors made it look classy despite the plastic. It was a winter party and the tables looked like the colors of ice and snow. I think if you just plop it and run, it could look tacky, but with a little extra effort it could look real nice. and besides, the clean up was a cinch. The plates and napkins were also blue and white, and whatever part of the table they were on, I just made sure placed the opposite color. So feel free to use plastic and save the money for your future.

No. We had plastic table covers at our wedding last summer and they looked fine. It also makes for easy clean up after the reception. Congrats on your upcoming wedding!!

The choice to use plastic, paper, or linen table clothes is really based on your budget and location. It is not uncommon to have paper or plastic table clothes for informal/casual receptions at churches, halls, and outdoors (parks, etc.). If you are not able to use linen, you might want to consider paper versus plastic. Paper looks a little nicer in my opinion.

i think it is even tho they have pretty wedding ones they dont stay on the tables well and look messy.and by experience found that you can rent the table clothes for 4.00 each it doesn't cost any more than the plastics which are right in that same price range too.
when i helped with my brothers wedding i posted an ad on craigslist.com looking for cloth table covers i got alot of responses. i also posted an ad there for wedding decor. arches flowers etc. i was amazed at the offers i got.

It all depends what type of wedding you are having. If its a no worry just wanna have fun wedding go for it. But if you are spending lots of money on flowers and other details you'll want to rent or buy cloth table covers. Just remeber its your wedding....its what you want!!!

It depends on the type of reception, location, formal, informal, cheap plastic, or nice ones. If it were a formal reception I would most definitely use clothe. You can rent them and the cost would be around the same.

Well I think it is. I like cloth better, it looks nicer with a wedding. If you are worried about money, go to walmart and buy cloth. Cut it and put the ripped or cut part under the table. IT will be cheap and jsut as nice looking
