Most wedding linens rental companies will charge an extra fee for the delivery, set up and pick up of the linens. This will not add a lot to the cost and will save you time.

When you decide on a rental company to work with, you will need to have an approximate number of guests for the reception because you will need to pay a 20% to 50% deposit when you sign the agreement. The balance of the cost is generally not due until 7 days prior to the event and at this time you can change the numbers, which will also affect the cost.
Normal stains on wedding linens are acceptable when you rent from any company. This applies to stains caused by spilled drinks or food. Wax from melting candles comes out during the cleaning process, but if mold or mildew develops on damp linens, then you will be responsible for the replacement cost.

When you receive them they will be in impeccable condition, having been thoroughly cleaned and pressed for your event.
Shop around for the best price for wedding linens rental. Not all companies charge the same price and some offer special deals during certain times of the year or if you place your order early. For example, if you have 200 guests at your wedding reception, you may be able to get the sashes for the chair covers free of charge under such a special promotion. First time customers also get a discount from many companies that rent wedding linens.
It is crucial that you have the measurements of the tables and chairs before you look for a wedding linens rental company or for chair cover rentals. This is because the size of the tablecloth has to match that of the table. You also must know whether you are going to be using round, square or rectangular shaped tables and whether you want the clothes to reach the floor.
Another decision is whether you want an overlay on the tablecloth. Chairs, too, are all different sizes. Although the seat area may be the same, there are various styles and sizes of the backs of the chairs and this is necessary in order to get the right fit in chair covers.
