Seating Chart Help

Although a 72 inch round table CAN fit 10 people, it is not the most comfortable arrangement. 8 people is ideal. So maybe eliminate the 10 person tables and make them 8 person tables instead.. then add the extra 2 people from the 10 person tables to your 6 person tables.

For reference though, this is a 72 inch round table with 6 chairs.

Thanks, this is super helpful. It doesn't look too bad with 6 chairs.

We currently don't have any tables with 10 people, but a couple with 9, and most with 8.

This is a 72 inch round table with 10 chairs. So although 10 chairs CAN fit, you can see everyone is squished in right up against eachother.

View Quoted Comment No, 6 chairs doesn’t look bad at all! I would just take 1 person away from the 9 person tables and put them at your 6 person tables

View Quoted Comment I considered that, but if I take one person away from the 9 person tables and add them to the 6 person table they will be sitting with strangers. I want people to be comfortable and I personally wouldn’t be comfortable at a wedding setting with people I’ve never met. Especially if all my friends were sitting together at another table.

View Quoted Comment Oh absolutely!

60" rounds typically seat 8-10 people and 72" rounds seat 10-12 people - but I don't think a 72" round will look empty with 6 guests, especially once centerpieces, dinnerware, etc. are placed on them. I agree that you'll want to seat at least 1-2 people less than the max. that'll fit (so no more than 9 for a 60" or 11 for a 72") or guests will be knocking elbows lol. We also sat people a bit non-traditionally (for example, all my cousins at one table and uncles/aunts (their parents) at another) and they seemed to appreciate it!

View Quoted Comment I also have a cousins table and an aunt/uncle table! I want people to enjoy dinner because it’s yummy but also because they have great company.
