Before you completely discount paper or disposable table clothes you need to know that they have come a long way and high grade disposable table clothes are available that look great and make clean up a cinch.

If you are insistent on cloth for your tables however, you can rent cloth table cloths and napkins at a rental agency. One great idea for napkin rings is to use baby rattles and toys that have a loop on the end and after the party is through the new expectant mom will have a three year supply of them.
