The Numbered Birthday Table Runner

What it is

This is a table runner made for milestone birthday tables. The fabric is a polyester weave, light in the hand with a matte finish that keeps the gold print readable rather than shiny. The number design is printed on one side, so the runner has a clear front face for the table.

The runner comes as a 1-pack. It is a single-piece runner, not a set, so one order covers one table.

Size and fit

One size: 13.78 x 70.87 in (35 x 180 cm).

The length runs down the center of most dining tables and leaves room to overhang at each end. On a longer table, let the runner sit centered and let the ends fall where they fall. On a smaller table, gather or fold the extra length at the ends. The 13.78 in (35 cm) width leaves space on both sides for plates, glasses and serving dishes.

Colors and number options

One colorway: black with gold print. The number is the choice you make. Options are Black gold 18, Black gold 30, Black gold 40, Black gold 50, Black gold 60 and Black gold 70. Pick the number that matches the birthday being celebrated. The black ground keeps the gold numerals sharp against the fabric, which reads well in photos and in low evening light.

How to use it

Lay the runner down the center of the table, print side up. It works on a dining table, a kitchen table or a buffet or console surface where cake and gifts are set out. Pair it with plain plates and simple glassware so the number stays the focus. For a party, run it under a cake stand or a row of candles, keeping flames clear of the fabric. Outside of the birthday itself, it stores flat and takes up little space.

Care

Machine wash cold. Hang dry. Iron on low if needed. Wash separately the first time to keep the gold print from picking up lint from other items. A low iron on the reverse side smooths fold lines from storage without pressing directly on the printed number.
