What is the difference between Keep-It Linens and rental linens?
Keep-It Linens are brand new, packaged linens that are yours to keep after your event — think of it like buying a linen at the same price most companies charge to rent one. There's no return, no worrying about stains or damage charges, and no drop-off trip after your party.
Rental linens are professionally laundered and pressed, delivered event-ready, and collected by our crew at teardown. They're ideal for weddings and upscale events where a polished, coordinated look matters.
What is the difference between lap length and floor length?
Lap length linens drop to approximately mid-thigh height on a seated guest — clean and casual. Floor length linens drop all the way to the ground — more formal and elegant. For most graduation parties and backyard events, lap length works great. For weddings and upscale events, floor length is the more common choice.
What colors are available in Keep-It Linens?
Our standard Keep-It Linens are available in black and white and are kept in stock. Colored and specialty linens are available upon request — reach out with your color preferences and we'll confirm availability and pricing for your event date.
Are linens included in tent packages or priced separately?
Linens are priced separately as add-ons. This keeps your base package price clean and lets you choose exactly what you need. Select your linens when building your quote or reach out and we'll add them for you.
Keep-It Linens
What sizes do you carry in Keep-It Linens?
We stock the following sizes in black and white:
- 90" round — lap length for 60" round tables
- 120" round — floor length for 60" round tables
- 60x126 — lap length for 8ft banquet tables
- 90x132 — floor length for 8ft banquet tables
Need a different size, color, or style? Other sizes and specialty linens are available upon request — contact us and we'll confirm availability and pricing for your event.
Do Keep-It Linens arrive wrinkle-free?
Keep-It Linens arrive brand new in the bag. Like any packaged fabric, they may have light fold lines from packaging. The easy fix: toss them in the dryer on low heat for 15–20 minutes before your event and they'll come out smooth and event-ready. If your linens are being delivered a few days early, this is a great thing to knock out the day before your party.
Can I use candles on tables with Keep-It Linens?
Yes — since you own them, that's your call. That said, we always recommend placing candles inside a glass holder (votive, hurricane, or lantern) to protect the fabric and your table surface. Open flame directly on any fabric is a fire hazard regardless of ownership.
Can I wash my Keep-It Linens after the event?
They're yours — wash them however you'd like! Standard polyester linens are machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water. Tumble dry on low. They hold up well and can be reused if you take care of them.
Rental Linens
What sizes, colors, and styles are available for rental linens?
Our premium rental linens are available in a wide range of sizes, colors, and fabric styles to suit any event. From standard banquet and round table sizes to specialty fabrics like sequin, velvet, satin, and lace — there's a linen for every look. Contact us to discuss your event and we'll help you find the right fit.
Do rental linens come clean and pressed?
Yes — every rental linen is professionally laundered and pressed before delivery. They arrive event-ready, so all you need to do is put them on the tables and make them look great.
When should I unpack rental linens?
We recommend unpacking 24 hours before your event to let any minor creases fall out naturally. If you need to touch them up, use a hand steamer on a low setting — avoid ironing directly on the fabric.
Where should I store rental linens before my event?
Indoors, off the floor, and somewhere climate-controlled — think spare bedroom, not garage. And don't leave them in the tent overnight. Michigan humidity can cause mildew faster than you'd think, and mildew from improper storage is not covered by the Damage Waiver.
What happens if something spills on a rental linen?
It happens — don't panic. Blot (don't rub) with a clean cloth and let us handle the rest. Standard food and beverage stains are covered by your 10% Damage Waiver. Skip the salt and club soda — that old trick does more harm than good on rental linens.
What is the Damage Waiver for rental linens?
Every rental linen order includes a 10% non-refundable Damage Waiver that covers everyday spills and stains from normal event use. What it doesn't cover: burns, candle wax, mildew, adhesives, missing items, or any DIY laundering. If the party caused it, you're probably covered. If neglect caused it, you're probably not.
Can I use candles on rental linen-covered tables?
Yes — but every candle must be inside a glass holder (votive, hurricane, lantern, etc.). Wax drips cause permanent damage and are not covered by the Damage Waiver. Candles and bare fabric are not a good combination.
Can I use tape, pins, or staples on rental linens?
Please don't. Adhesives and sharp objects can snag, tear, or permanently mark fabric. Use a protective barrier between any sharp décor and the linen surface.
Can I wash rental linens myself?
Please don't — professional cleaning is already included in your rental fee. Washing, bleaching, dry-cleaning, or ironing rental linens can cause permanent damage and result in replacement charges. Just bag them up and let us take it from there.
What do I do if a rental linen gets wet?
Do not bag a wet linen — even slightly damp linens can develop mildew quickly in a sealed bag. If something gets soaked, drape it somewhere and let it fully air-dry before packing it up. Mildew damage is not covered by the Damage Waiver.
Who sets up the rental linens?
Linen installation is the client's responsibility unless other arrangements are made at booking. If you'd like us to handle installation, just let us know when booking and we'll make arrangements.
How do I return rental linens?
It depends on how you rented them:
- Tent package linens: our crew will collect them when we take the tent down — nothing for you to do.
- Separately rented linens: return within 24 hours of your event end time. Return bags are provided — shake off any food debris, floral remains, or confetti before bagging and you're good to go.
Please communicate your preferred return day at booking so we have time to clean everything before the next event.
What if I need more time to return rental linens?
Just give us a call at (248) 216-7089 or email booking@aetentandevent.com and we'll do our best to work something out. The sooner you let us know, the better.
What if a rental linen is damaged or missing?
We'll inspect all returned linens within 48 hours and reach out within 72 hours if anything needs to be addressed. Charges are billed to the card on file. Standard linens are $60.00 per item; specialty fabrics (sequin, velvet, charmeuse, lace, metallic) are billed at 4x the rental rate.
What counts as a specialty fabric?
Specialty fabrics include sequin overlays, velvet runners or tablecloths, charmeuse/satin, lace overlays, and metallic/shimmer fabrics. They're beautiful but delicate, which is why they carry a higher replacement rate.
