1. Round Table Throws for Galas, Banquets and Fundraising Dinners
Round table throws are the best choice for nonprofit galas and fundraising dinners, because those events usually use round banquet or cocktail tables rather than rectangular ones. Capital Exhibits sells [Prime] Round Table Throws in two sizes at $110 each as of November 2026.
What the product page says
- Full-color dye-sublimation printing on durable polyester tension fabric.
- Two sizes: one for 60" round tables and one for 31.5" bar-height cocktail tables.
- Hemmed bottom edges for a finished appearance.
- Covers are described as washable, foldable and easy to store.
- The page lists "charity galas" among suitable events.
| Round table size | Table height (approx., from product page) | Drape (approx.) | Price (Nov 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60" diameter | 28" | 19" | $110 |
| 31.5" diameter (bar height) | 42" | 33.25" | $110 |
The product page notes these are recommended table sizes; the throws will work on other tables, but drape length varies with diameter and height.
Where to use them at a gala
Branded round covers work best on the tables guests see first: the welcome or check-in table, cocktail tables in the reception area, and the silent auction or raffle table. Guest dining tables are often dressed by the venue, so ask before ordering a cover for every table.
2. Registration and Donation Tables: Full Coverage Looks Most Trustworthy
Registration and donation tables should use a 4-sided cover, because a fully covered table hides cash boxes, card readers, bags and supply boxes and looks organized from every side. The 6ft and 8ft Wholesale Stretch Custom Table Throw is the lowest-priced option at $122 (6 ft.) and $134 (8 ft.) as of November 2026.
Why full coverage matters at a donation table
- Supplies, envelopes and personal bags stay out of sight under the table.
- The table looks the same from the front and from the side where donors line up.
- The product page for the Wholesale Stretch cover says its 4-sided design "conceals table legs, storage items, and cables," which also hides card reader cords.
Other 4-sided options
- 6ft and 8ft Fitted Table Throw: $134 (6 ft.), $152 (8 ft.). Its page says it needs no clips or additional hardware and is easy to clean, fold and store.
- 4-sided Multi-Stretch Table Throw: $157 (6 ft.), $182 (8 ft.). Its page says it secures under the table legs and is easy to clean.
- 4-Sided Fitted Table Throw: $158 (6 ft., 3-sided print) and $163 (6 ft., 4-sided print).
3. Community Fairs and Outreach Tables: When an Open Back Works
At community fairs, health fairs and resource days, volunteers usually sit behind the table and need to reach brochures and giveaways underneath. A 3-sided (open back) cover is the lower-cost choice there, as long as the back of the table is not on view.
The 4ft, 6ft, and 8ft Full Color Custom Table Throw comes in an Open Back version, which the product page describes as having full-length coverage on the front and sides with a shorter drop at the back for access to storage, and a Full Back version that covers all four sides.
| Full Color Custom Table Throw | 3-sided (Open Back), Nov 2026 | 4-sided (Full Back), Nov 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| 4ft | $160 | $178 |
| 6ft | $155 | $205 |
| 8ft | $184 | $246 |

4. Sponsor and Literature Tables: Runners Brand More Tables for Less
A custom table runner is the lowest-cost way to brand extra tables at a nonprofit event, such as a sponsor recognition table, a merchandise table or a literature table. The 2ft, 3ft, 4ft and 5ft Custom Table Runner is listed from $62 to $96 as of November 2026.
- Sizes from the product page: 24, 36, 48 and 60 inches wide, in a backless (open back) length of 63 inches or a full back length of 84 inches.
- It is laid over a standard table, so a plain or solid tablecloth underneath completes the look.
- A runner can carry a sponsor's logo for one season while your main tablecloth stays the same.
Table Throw Cap for display tables
The 6ft and 8ft Table Throw Cap ($80 for 6 ft., $90 for 8 ft.) covers the tabletop and is taut around the top and each corner, according to its product page. Use it on silent auction or display tables placed against a wall.
5. Budgeting a Nonprofit Tablecloth Order With Listed Prices
The simplest way for a nonprofit to budget is to list every table you use in a typical year, match each one to the lowest-priced cover that suits it, and total the listed prices. The example below uses November 2026 listed prices; it is not a quote and includes no discount.
| Example event kit | Cover | Listed price (Nov 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Registration table (6ft) | 6ft and 8ft Wholesale Stretch Custom Table Throw, 6 ft. full back | $122 |
| Donation table (6ft) | 6ft and 8ft Wholesale Stretch Custom Table Throw, 6 ft. full back | $122 |
| Two cocktail tables (31.5") | [Prime] Round Table Throws, 2 x $110 | $220 |
| Sponsor table runner (3ft, open back) | 2ft, 3ft, 4ft and 5ft Custom Table Runner | $69 |
| Total at listed prices | $533 |

6. Designing a Tablecloth That Works at Every Event
The best nonprofit tablecloth design is one that stays accurate for years: your logo, a short mission line and your website, with no dates or campaign names. One reusable design lets the same cover serve a gala in spring, a run in summer and a community fair in fall.
What to put on the cover
- Logo: centered on the front panel, large enough to read across a room.
- Mission line: five to eight words that say what you do.
- Website or donation page: short and easy to type.
- Optional QR code: on a side panel, linked to a page you can update.
What to leave off
- Event dates, years and campaign goals.
- Sponsor logos that may change; put those on a runner or banner instead.
- Long paragraphs that no one reads from the aisle.
Build the file on the template linked on the product page. According to the Capital Exhibits FAQ, every order includes a free graphic review. If your organization has no designer, Capital Exhibits offers Graphic Design Services. For step-by-step logo preparation, read How Do I Put My Company Logo on a Tablecloth?
7. Easy Setup for Volunteers
Nonprofit events are often set up by volunteers who have never handled a table cover, so a style that goes on without clips or tools reduces mistakes. Fitted and stretch covers are the easiest for first-time volunteers.
- The 6ft and 8ft Fitted Table Throw page says it stretches over the table with "no clips or additional hardware required."
- The 4-sided Multi-Stretch Table Throw page says it "secures under table legs for stability."
- Round table throws drape over the table and need no fastening.
A simple volunteer checklist
- Confirm the table size before unpacking the cover.
- Find the front of the cover (the logo panel) and face it toward the entrance.
- Pull the cover on from one end to the other, then square the corners.
- Store boxes and bags under the table before guests arrive.
- After the event, fold the cover and return it to the same labeled bag.
8. Ordering for Several Chapters or Locations
Nonprofits with chapters, affiliates or program sites can keep a consistent look by ordering the same cover style and design for every location in one order. Using one style and one size where possible keeps artwork simple and makes reorders easy.
- Use one master design and change only the chapter name if needed.
- Confirm each location's table sizes before ordering.
- Ask Capital Exhibits about volume pricing and shipping to several addresses.

9. Choosing the Right Size
Choose each cover by the table it will go on. Capital Exhibits product pages list compatible table sizes: 48" L x 24" W x 29" H for 4ft covers, 72" L x 30" W x 29" H for 6ft covers and 96" L x 30" W x 29" H for 8ft covers.
- 4ft: small check-in or information tables. The 4ft Fitted Table Throw 4 Sided (Full Back) Full Color Custom Print is $154 as of November 2026.
- 6ft: the most common event table.
- 8ft: wide registration tables with several volunteers.
- Round: 60" banquet and 31.5" cocktail tables.
If a venue supplies the tables, ask for their exact dimensions. For drop lengths and measuring tips, see What Size Tablecloth Do I Need for a 6 Foot or 8 Foot Table?
