You can also use buffalo plaid tablecloth with the addition of gingham napkins to complete the look of an All-American-themed party. Alternatively, you can also use plain tablecloths and match them with checkered table runners for a different flair.
What Will I Need?
The foundation for this look is undoubtedly our Checkered Polyester Table Linens! Beyond that, you’ll definitely want to opt for a white polyester tablecloth underneath, with red and white polyester napkins to match. Although optional, we definitely recommend picking up at least two wood slabs to host your pies on to set the party’s atmosphere and perfect the decor.
If your Pie Day Party attendees are younger or you’ll only have a pie table, you can opt out of the faux wood charger plates in favor of wood slabs to hold more pies.
