    Round! Everyone can see each other and talk without yelling across the table

    I love the look of the farm tables. I think that either are a great way to go, but overall round might be easier for most venues!

    This one is tough. I'm doing a mixture of both but I do like the rectangle look more.

    Round! I feel like that shape flows better with most setups and venues.

    Yes Sam!! I am using round! Everyone can make eye contact it provides more room in the venue and I love how the centerpieces come out on round!!

    Round so that the guests can actually talk to one another and enjoy the company
