Tableskirts are a fantastic way to finish off your tablecovering. Most tablecovers don't reach the floor so a tableskirt is necessary to add length or to add more detail to your table. Tableskirts can be used many different ways. Here are some ideas...
The most common way is to first lay the tablecover down evenly. Then apply the tableskirt around the table over the top of the tablecover. Most disposeable tableskirts have adhesive so they will easily stick to your tablecover. If there is no adhesive you can use staples or tableclips.
Another idea is to apply the tableskirt around the table first. Then lay the tablecover over the top so the tablecover overlaps the tableskirt. This is the best idea to use when you are using different colors or styles of tablecover and tableskirt. For example a printed tablecover with a solid colored tableskirt.

How To Use Scene Setters
Using scene setters is simple when you follow these simple steps...
1. Start with a room roll.
This is your base... You can put all border rolls and add-ons on top of your room roll.
Apply the room roll flat against any large, bare wall using tape or staples. Smooth the room roll against the wall as you go so it lays flat. If the room roll does not cover the whole wall from top to bottom you can hang another room roll along the top of the same design or choose a different room roll to match.
2. The next step is to add a border roll.
Apply the border roll along the top or bottom of the room roll to create a finished look. The border roll can overlap the room roll or be applied right above or below the room roll if you're trying to cover more space.
3. Complete your scene with add-ons.
Add-ons can be hung alone or layered over a room roll or border.

Ideas for Perfect Baby Shower Tableware
Details!!!
Make the baby shower you are throwing complete and unforgettable by paying attention to every detail starting with your tablesetting.
After you've chosen your theme and color scheme start with your tablecover. Your tablecover will be your base for everything sitting on the table. Since there are so many different tablecovers to choose from and because the color of your tablecover will be the largest amount of color showing it is important to choose carefully.
CHOICES FOR TABLECOVERS
You can order personalized napkins in a luncheon or beverage size. These napkins can be printed with two lines of wording. For example you could say "welcome baby" on one line and the baby's name on the next.

Since there are so many different tablecovers to choose from and because the color of your tablecover will be the largest amount of color showing it is important to choose carefully.
CHOICES FOR TABLECOVERS
- plastic tablecovers (See solid color tableware)
- better than linen tablcovers (white paper tablecovers made to look like linen)
- metallic tablecovers
- irridescent tablecovers
- printed theme tablecovers (See baby shower tablware)
Next choose a tableskirt to match your tablecover. Almost all of the different tablecovers have a tableskirt to match except printed tablecovers and in that case you can choose a solid color tableskirt to match a printed tablecover. Tableskirts can be used over the top of the tablecover or underneath.
Colored paper placemats look great under each tablesetting and add more color. Maybe use a bright pink placemat on a pale pink tablecover.
When setting the plates you can add detail by stacking a small 7" patterned paper plate on top of a 9" solid color paper plate.
You can order personalized napkins in a luncheon or beverage size. These napkins can be printed with two lines of wording. For example you could say "welcome baby" on one line and the baby's name on the next.
CENTERPIECE
- balloons make a great centerpiece because they add so much color and make a big statement. Weight them down with a matching balloon weight.
- glass or plastic pedestals can be filled with m&ms, mints or any candy to match your color scheme
NOVELTY ITEMS
- Placecards can be used at each tablesetting and are available in most babyshower themes.
- Favors can be put at each tablesetting. Fill little baby bottles with m&ms.
- Confetti can be sprinkled around the table.
- Doiles of different sizes look great placed randomly around the table.
- Tulle can be tied around each chair with a big bow in back.

Pinatas also make great decoration... Use them as centerpieces or place them anywhere to add bright color and fun to your party.
