Really dumb linen question

[pixie921]

So I've been looking at the linen site that shows what Disney has available, and it seems everything I really like for table covers is only available in rounds of 120" or 132". Problem is, we're having a small group (17 or so) and I want everyone to be able to sit together at a long (roman?) table.

We're going to have our reception at Citrico's (doing the buy-out for our luncheon) so I know that our table may just be several square tables pushed together (which I'm totally fine with). But if I'm doing a rectangular table, I have to stick with linens that come in squares and rectangles, right? Or is there some trick to using round table covers on square or rectangle tables that I don't know about?

I was wondering if we initially covered the tables in basic rectangular linens and then laid the round ones over, if the round ones are large enough, could the rounded edges be drawn up like swags or something like that? Or if it's just a bunch of smaller square tables lined up, could we put a round table cover on each before they were pushed together?

Or am I just stuck with ivory solid table covers?

what about a table runner? We are having our reception at Citrico's and I hope to be able to use color table runners.

You know what? I *really* like that idea!! I could use square/oblong solid or satin covers on the tables and then do the chair covers, napkins and table runners in the "round" linens.

Thank you so much for the suggestion -- I think it will solve our problem!!
