[quote=Anonymous]The one thing you can do is buy fabric that will fit your table from a fabric store in a child-friendly print.  That table cloth was what we used for our birthdays - and honestly, at 55 when my parents were moving out of their house and my mother showed it to me, I took it and the memories of birthdays, cake, sandwiches cut in triangles, party games.... all came flooding back.  It's also so incredibly 70s - I direct a preschool so I brought it to our school to use as a table cloth or picnic blanket - the kids love all the bright (retro) colors!

I know, I know, you MUST buy a tablecloth that matches the "theme" or "decor" of the plates, hats, etc because "X is having a Ninja turtle or Dora Explorer party" - well, you could instead buy a few fabric tablecloths that are plain colors, wash and reuse, and then have the hats, plates, napkins in the "theme" or "matching decor."  If you did this, our child wouldn't know any differently, and it's a cost savings, too.  [/quote]
