Linens That Elevate Your Event: Color, Texture, and Style with U.S. Rents-It

July 18, 2025

When planning an event, linens are often the final touch that ties your vision together. From tablecloths and napkins to runners and overlays, the right linens can transform an ordinary space into something truly memorable. At U.S. Rents-It in Jefferson City, MO, we make choosing the perfect linens easy—and even fun!


Start with the Wall of Colors

When you visit our showroom, we begin your linen journey at our “wall of colors.” This vibrant display is where ideas start to take shape. Whether you’re planning a wedding, gala, or backyard celebration, seeing the colors in person helps you visualize how your space will look and feel.

Our standard tablecloth material is poly, a popular and durable fabric that comes in a wide range of colors. But if you're looking to add a little extra flair or elegance, we’ll guide you through our collection of specialty fabrics and prints.

Elevate Your Event with Specialty Linens

Specialty linens allow you to elevate specific areas of your event and express your style. Consider using unique fabrics on:

  • Head tables or family tables

  • Cake or dessert tables

  • Gift or guest book stations

  • Guest tables with accent napkins or runners

Any fabric in our collection can be made into a napkin or runner, giving you total flexibility to customize your look.


Set the Tone with Style

The linens you choose set the tone for your entire event. Are you going for elegant and timeless, or bold and modern? Rustic charm or glam sparkle? Before we help you select colors and textures, we always ask about your style.

If you’re unsure where to start, don’t worry—we’ll send you home with a little homework! We often recommend using Pinterest to gather inspiration and clarify your vision before coming back to finalize your choices. It’s a great way to discover what resonates with you and what kind of statement you want to make.

Tableware That Transforms: Completing Your Event Look with U.S. Rents-It

July 18, 2025
When designing a beautiful event table, the tableware you choose plays a major role in the overall presentation. It’s not just about functionality—it’s about creating a layered, styled, and fully dressed table that feels complete. At U.S. Rents-It, we help clients in Jefferson City bring their table settings to life with quality rental pieces that add elegance and intention to every seat. One of the easiest ways to elevate a table is with a charger. Chargers instantly polish the look of your place setting, giving it structure and a sense of occasion. Whether your event is classic, modern, rustic, or glamorous, a charger sets the foundation for the rest of your tableware and makes every place setting feel deliberate and complete. Plates—whether real or high-quality plastic—create depth and layers that make your tables look thoughtfully styled. Don’t underestimate the power of seeing a full place setting as your guests arrive; it immediately signals that they’re about to enjoy something special. When it comes to silverware, we often joke that it’s a “dad call.” Time and time again, we’ve heard that the men in the family will be the first to speak up and say they don’t want to eat with plastic utensils. There’s something about the weight and feel of real silverware that adds to the experience, and many families agree—it’s worth having the real deal.

Creating the Perfect Centerpieces for Your Event with U.S. Rents-It

When it comes to setting the mood and tone of your event, few details are as impactful as the centerpiece. Centerpieces don’t just decorate a table—they elevate the entire atmosphere. The more elaborate the design, the more elegant and upscale your event will feel. But just as important as the style is the purpose. One of the first questions to ask yourself is: Do you want your tables to be a focal point or blend into the background?

Choosing the Perfect Table for Your Event: Tips from U.S. Rents-It

July 18, 2025
When planning an event—whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, or backyard celebration—table selection plays a bigger role than you might think. The right table not only fits your space but also sets the tone for guest comfort and overall flow. At U.S. Rents-It in Jefferson City, MO, we help you choose the perfect tables and linens to match your event's needs and style. Table Size & Guest Comfort One of the first questions we ask clients is: “How comfortable do you want your guests to be—and for how long?” If your event involves long periods of sitting (such as a ceremony, presentation, or formal dinner), you'll want to give guests a little more elbow room. For shorter events or casual mingling, you can comfortably seat more guests per table. Here’s a quick guide to our available tables and recommended seating:  Standard Tables 48” Round: Seats 6–8 people 60” Round: Seats 8–10 people 72” Round: Seats 10–12 people 60” Square: Seats 6–8 people 6’ Rectangle: Seats 6–8 people 8’ Rectangle: Seats 8–10 people Specialty Tables 60” Serpentine: Ideal for creative layouts or buffet-style serving 60” Half Round: Great for head tables or presentation areas Cocktail Table (42” leg): Designed for standing guests Bistro Table (36” leg): Seats 4 with chairs, perfect for casual seating or lounge areas Tablecloths: Style Meets Function Each table size requires a different tablecloth, but the look and feel go beyond measurements. We often ask: “Where do you want the tablecloth to fall—lap, shin, or floor?” Round Tables: Lap, shin, or floor-length Rectangle Tables: Lap or floor-length Floor-length cloths offer a more formal, polished look, while lap or shin-length is ideal for casual or outdoor events. The right linen length can completely change the vibe of your setup.
