I can't figure out what a reasonable number of people per table is for a 60" round. Some sites say 8, some say 10 but I don't want folks squeezed so tight it's uncomfortable, The centerpieces will be about 18" diameter and incorporate the table number. Each place setting will have basic utensils (1fork, 1 spoon, 1 knife), napkin and wine glass. Also on the table we'll have a pitcher of ice water, two bottles of wine, bread basket and butter.
I can have 9 tables of 8 or preferably 8 tables of 9 but I don't want everyone to be too crowded. The 8 table option will provide more moving around room under the tent but I don't want to do that if dinner will be cramped.
So help! Do I go with the 8 tables or for the comfort of my guests do I need to go with 9?
