Compare your options
| Catalog option | Verified listing details | Choose this when... |
|---|---|---|
| Satin | Tablecloth listings describe smooth satin fabric. Satin runners include 14-inch-wide by 90-inch-long options. | You want a smooth fabric option, or a coordinating satin runner. Browse satin tablecloths or table runners. |
| Polyester poplin gingham | Rectangular tablecloth listings identify polyester poplin and gingham checks, including white-and-color combinations. | You want a checkered pattern rather than a plain style. Browse the rectangular tablecloth collection and look for polyester poplin gingham listings. |
| Taffeta flocking damask | Listings identify taffeta flocking damask table rounds in named colors. | You want a damask-pattern option for a round table. Check the round tablecloth collection for taffeta flocking damask listings. |
| Velvet styles | Tablecloth listings include royal velvet, crushed velvet, and round stretch velvet. A stretch velvet listing offers 108-, 120-, and 132-inch sizes. | You are comparing velvet styles. Start with round tablecloths and check each listing’s exact style and size. |
Other catalog style names
Party Capital also has collections named satin rosette and sequin fabric tablecloths. Treat these as distinct decorative styles, not verified fiber compositions. Compare their individual product details before choosing.
Wrinkles, photography, durability, and upkeep
We do not assign wrinkle-resistance, durability, or easy-care rankings by fabric name. A style name alone does not establish washing instructions, safe ironing temperatures, steaming suitability, or outdoor performance. Follow the specific product’s care instructions; if they are missing, ask before laundering or applying heat.
For photographs, compare the specific product images and, where possible, assess the fabric under your venue’s lighting before committing to a large order. This guide does not promise a particular sheen, glare level, or photographic result.
Before you order
Choose your preferred style, confirm your table shape and dimensions, then check the selected product’s size, color, pack quantity, and care instructions. Satin and polyester are different kinds of labels: do not assume a satin listing’s fiber content unless that listing specifies it.
