Planning a wedding can be an expensive affair. Finding ways to save money without compromising on the event’s aesthetics is key. Research shows that using budget-friendly table coverings, such as plastic tablecloths from dollar stores or simple sheets, can be an effective cost-saving strategy. These materials can later be repurposed for DIY projects and home decor.

Here’s a picture of the very inexpensive tablecloths we used at my daughter's wedding reception. The lower tablecloths were only 1 USD each from Dollar Tree, while the top lace tablecloths were purchased at Dollar General Store for 5 USD each.

What can I use to make cheap table covers for the banquet tables at my wedding reception? Renting them is quite expensive, and we are on a tight budget!

Contact wholesale clubs like Sam's Club or Costco. I know you can buy rolls of plastic material that come on rolls. Restaurants purchase industrial rolls of aluminum foil and plastic tablecloths. You use it once and toss it.

This would be cheaper than making your own tablecloths.

Party supply stores like Party City and Occasions have nice, yet affordable tablecloths, paper plates, etc. Additionally, inexpensive serving dishes. Here’s another idea: ask your friends if you can borrow things. That’s what one of my friends did. We even gathered flowers from the roadside to decorate the tables. Needless to say, nothing matched, but everyone loved it. This was 35 years ago, and my friend is now a multiple millionaire, but she still thinks her "mismatched" wedding was the most beautiful, and everyone who was there also agrees — because it was full of love from her friends.

On the other hand, why not shop at Dollar Tree or one of the other discount stores? It would be cheaper than at Sam's Club or Costco, as you won’t be charged for the leftover plastic material.

I see plastic tablecloths at Dollar Tree, so if you had a total of 20 tables, it would cost you 20.00 USD + tax.

FLAT SHEETS!
You can buy them for 3 to 4 dollars each at Walmart, available in several colors.
After the wedding, you can repurpose them into curtains — just buy clip rings for the bottom.
You can either hem the sheets or simply fold surplus over the top to create a sort of valance.

We went to Dollar Tree and bought plastic tablecloths in the perfect color for our daughter’s wedding. They looked very nice and cost only 1 USD each.

Check the fabric sales section at your local Walmart or other store; most have areas where fabrics cost 1-2 USD per yard. I used various coordinating fabrics for tablecloths at parties.

I love the idea of fabric. Later, you can sew some items and create outfits or cushions from the material.

Check Walmart in the party supplies section. They have vinyl tablecloths for 1 USD in every color you can imagine.
