Lol, as far as the scene is concerned! Very well done.

Now, the table cloth. I have been using the macros on and off and each time 
I need to go back to basics to know what I am doing. However, it is not too 
difficult. First a few comments:
- your cloth seems to fall really straignt down. That might be because your 
iterations are set too high. As you know, you drop the cloth from somewhere 
above the table and it will try to conform to the table until the last 
iteration. So, what you could try to do first is start with very few 
iterations and increase them until the cloth drapes nicely over the table. 
Too many iterations and the sides will fall straight down.
- If you succeed with the first phase, you might want to try to add creases 
by dropping the cloth under a slight angle and tweak the settings for 
stickyness (I don't remember exactly the term. Shall have to look that up) 
appropriately.

I shall try to brew up an example, using your table settings :-)

Hope this helps for now.
