Instead of buying tablecloths, which can get expensive, I like to buy fabric from the clearance section of crafts stores. Just buy as much fabric as you need, hem the edges, and voila! You have a lovely new tablecloth. I just finished hemming this year's Thanksgiving tablecloth which cost me all of three dollars and five minutes (for sewing.) This is especially helpful if you've got a large table and have a hard time finding tablecloths to fit.
Another tip: I like to pick out fabrics that are a little darker and have a bit of a print. That way the inevitable stains don't show up as much.
Also, be sure to check the care labels for the fabric. You don't want to buy something that is "dry clean only" and have it fall apart or shrink the first time you wash it.
