    Guest tables will be round. Food, favor, and guest book tables will most likely be rectangular. Our sweetheart table will be rectangular as well.

    All guest tables and our sweetheart table were round. I think the gifts/guest book/misc items tables were rectangular.

    They will all be rectangular, but they may be decorated differently! I know our sweetheart table will be different for sure!

    Using all round tables and a long one for the wedding party that will sit at the head of the room. Wanted our table to be different so it stands out

    My plan is to incorporate all of the colors into the tables. They will all be round but I would like purple and silver tablecloths alternating with the same colors and a touch of turquoise throughout.

    Matching, all the guest tables will all be round. We will be sitting at a sweetheart table, and there will be various other tables for food, favors, etc.

    Well, the guests will sit at round tables, but our sweetheart table will be rectangle, as well as the tables that the food is going to be on.

    Most tables are round. The tables will vary with the number of seats. I will have a few rectangular tables; seating for the children, the dessert table, the cake table, and the sweetheart table.
