Hello becki82-ga,

Have you considered buying fabric by the yard? If you're looking for
runners (or want to combine tablecloths and/or placemats into runners)
using fabric cut to the right size and hemmed might be the easiest
(and most economical) way to go. Please tell us more about how the
fabric will be used. Thanks.

I might be able to obtain white table cloths at very cheap price.  But
I wanted to be able to add some color to the tables.  My main color is
dark blue.  The reason why I can't a very high price is I'm already
over budget for my wedding.

Hello becki82-ga,

Where are you located? What size are the 22-25 tables? Have you
checked with the party rental shops in your area? My preliminary
research shows that your budget is unrealistic for the amount of
linens you're looking for. If you want to spend $100 for 25
tablecloths (even the smallest) you're looking for $4 each. I can't
imagine where you could buy tablecloths for this price. 200 placemats
would be 50 cents each. I just don't see where you could buy or rent
table linens at this price.

How would you like to proceed with this question? I look forward to 
your clarification.

Thanks for help but I'm going to cancel this question.

Have you considered renting?  There are lots of services:

http://www.partypop.com/Categories/Linens_Chair_Covers.html

I just looked at one  (Nettie's, deals nationwide and advertises 60
colors), but the site is sorted by state and there are very many
names.  It seems like your budget is a bit low for what you want.

This is, of course, just one site, there are many others, but they may
be linked to this one.  Search with:  "table cloths" rental OR renting

Good luck and all the best, Myoarin

Have you thought about having the white ones dyed blue?
Here is a site that talks about doing it in the washing machine, and
you can find many more with a search:  dying washing machine
