How many chairs should I order?

ETA: nvm, misunderstood set up

I would rent at least 20 for downstairs... maybe more just to prevent from people staying upstairs instead of coming down.

What does your guest list look like? I'd say 40 if you have a solid mix of ages, more if you have lots of older people or those with health issues. Honestly, it's better to have too many chairs than not enough

@mrsski it is a pretty solid mix. I was thinking 30-40 extra (they're not cheap!) also, and the venue has hideous folding chairs if it is absolutely necessary (which I hope not,) but definitely won't deny my guests a seat to sit! haha

@olivia There are bars upstairs and downstairs, and dessert will be downstairs during the reception. There will be a mix of cocktail tables and chairs (downstairs) that the venue provides which accounts for about 30-40 seats. But I know some of the older people can't get up on the bar stool seats.

PLUS, the venue offers a lot of other seating, like I think he has a sectional couch and some other love seats and chairs but no tables with those obviously.
