It’s that time of a year in which we think about setting a
lovely holiday party table for thanksgiving and the summer holidays.
This is a bit worrying that when you are busy in doing the
party preparations and forgot to arrange for the table linens just before the
night of the thanksgiving. So you need to start your preparations by choosing
the party table coverings.
Take care of all the table accessories, if they are enough
for all of your expected guests. If you need the table coverings then read
these tips about what type of fabric to choose:
Linen
The household items like tablecloths and sheets are called
linens because these are the preferred natural fiber for centuries. A plant
fiber like cotton and the specialty of the linen is that they can be handed
over to the generations with proper care. They have the higher sheen than
cotton thus they are perfect for the formal holiday table setting. But when you
wash them they show the wrinkles.
Cotton
They are very durable and washable. And the quality of the
pure 100% cotton round tablecloths and
napkins are soft and absorbent. They are perfect for the everyday use. Cotton
is considered to be the too casual for a forma table. They also need ironing if
you want them to give a wrinkle free look.
Cotton Polyester Blend
The table linens in poly blend combine the soft and
absorbent properties of cotton but they have the added advantage is that they
have fewer wrinkles as compared to the cotton.
Polyester
These types of
synthetic coverings may seem easy to care, but after washing they show wear and
piling much sooner than cottons and blends. They are harder to wash if you want
to remove the stains.
