I am planning a graduation party for my daughter and I would like to use tulle in her school colors. We will have a tent with 12 posts and I was thinking of wrapping the tulle around the posts with lights under the tulle. I notice you can order the tulle in various widths and I was just wondering if anyone could recommed the width I would need to do something like this? I would appreciate any decorating ideas that anyone could give.
Thanks!

I think it really depends on the diameter of the posts...the thicker the post, the wider the tulle should be. If the tulle is too thin (7/8"), then you will eat up a greater number of rolls trying to cover the surface area of the post. Likewise, the thinner the post, the sillier it will look with really thick (6"). I know that is picky and complicated, but it will be noticable...
