Instead of spending money each holiday to change our tablecloth, we purchased a white table cloth and clear plastic from our fabric store cut to fit our table. The plastic cost around $3.50.

That's a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

NYMom, I have seen that done in nice restaurants so I don't think it would look cheap. The restaurant I have seen it is was all done in black and white and it was striking!
Hey Susan,
What a great idea! I think it would add a personal touch and not look cheap at all. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, Susan, what a GREAT idea. I cannot wait to try it for children & adults alike. God Bless. Trish in CT
I think this is a smashing idea and wonder why I never thought of it. I think it would be wonderful for all but the most formal of occassions and would be a conversation piece to remember past gatherings of friends and family. The birthday boy or girl could see how much they have grown from the previous year for example, departed loved ones could be remembered, and it would only require pictures, decorations, and a little time to organize the display.
