    They will all be round! Some will just sit different quantities of people.

    The guest tables were all the same round, we had a small rectangular sweetheart table, and the tables for cupcakes, guest book, etc were long rectangular tables.

    All of our guest tables are the same. We are not sure of our sweet heart table yet.

    For the guests and cake/gift table and dessert bar, they are round tables. For our head table and food they are rectangle.

    6 ft rectangular tables are provided by the venue. However, the table cloths will be blue for all the regular tables but then green for welcome, dessert and bridal party tables.

    I think they will all match! Round for guests to sit at, rectangle for food/gifts/cake. Undecided on the sweetheart's table...

    Please... for all things holy... let my reception tables be matching. It would bother me so much if they aren't.

    My venue has a mix of round and rectangle tables. After looking at the center picture I am wondering if I should be altering the centerpieces.


    I like the idea of keeping them all uniform and just having the table that my FH and I are sitting at different.

    Our venue provides furniture, and all the tables are the same so it's just a matter of where to put them.

    Guest tables will be round, other tables will be rectangles, and I don't know yet what our sweetheart table will be.

    Whatever our venue provides up with - they have round tables, so guests will probably be seated at them. Not sure about the sweetheart table or other tables yet. I assume retangle.

    I stuck with the same shape and size for all my reception tables. To be honest, I never even thought about anything else. I think the idea of mixing it up, if your space allows for it, is so fun and unique though!
