    I think the new rustic farm tables that are like picnic style are amazing but round tables are what I chose to go with.

    I like rounds because it’s easier for everyone to talk

    Rounds for our small(ish) wedding! For a large wedding, I'd definitely say rectangles.

    We are actually doing both so we can accommodate all guests but personally I like rectangle

    I prefer rounds. Everyone can see and talk to each other and I find them more aesthetically pleasing.

    Round tables. That's what our venue provides and that would be my top pick anyway.

    Our venue has round tables. I honestly feel I would’ve gone with round regardless because I don’t like the separation the rectangular ones cause.

    I prefer round because it’s easier for people at the table to socialize that way. But a perk of a rectangle is having a nice runner

    I prefer rounds for a large group. Although there are groups of 8 or 10, the tables are fairly close and people all around can converse with each other. With rectangles, I think it's for smaller, more intimate groups.

    Rounds are better for conversation.

    Honestly haven’t decided... we are probably doing round tables, but a rectangular table for the wedding party since we want us all to sit together.

    I'm so torn on this! I'm still not sure which one we'll be using. I always pictured round tables growing up, but long tables have grown on me. I'll honestly probably just go with whatever the event coordinator suggests would be easiest.

    Round. Easier for conversation when you're all facing each other

    Round, and thankfully that's what my venue has. I think they do have some longer tables though, for setting up the food.

    Rounds because guests can all talk to each other. However, my venue layout will have a combination of both.
