Should tablecloths touch the floor?
Traditionally, a half drop is acceptable for casual occasions. This means that the tablecloth will hang halfway to the floor. However, even though a half drop saves money, your tablecloth should touch the floor on formal occasions. This is because a full drop will cover the legs of your tables, chairs, and guests.
How do you determine what size tablecloth you need?
First measure the length and width of your table. Next add twice the desired drop to each side’s dimension. For example, if your table measures 42 inches wide and 72 inches long and you want a drop of 9 inches, add 18 inches to each side.
What is the normal drop for a tablecloth?

Factor in the “drop” you want. Determine the desired length of your tablecloth drop (how far over your table you want the cloth to hang).
