How many guests on each table?

lottie.f, 5 May, 2014 at 16:29 Posted on Planning 0 7

Hi all, I'm just tackling my table plan and finding it tricky..

We are only having about 70 day guests and I'm thinking I'd like to have 8 per table, but would this mean guests are too spread out?

How many are you having per table?

Thanks for your help - I really thought with our numbers the table plan would be easy!

    Hey,

    I thought table plan would be fun and easy but not!! I have 64 guests and am aiming for 8 to a table, I have the odd table with 9 and 7 just due to singletons ECt but I think 8 is good number, think 10 is a squeeze xxx

    Venue have advised 8 - as above, 10 can be done but 'is a squeeze'

    I wouldn't worry too much about spreading people out - it's only for the meal, so if they are separated from people they know, they will have the rest of the evening to be with them.

    It depends on the size of the tables really. Assuming they're fairly normal sized round tables 8 is absolutely fine. Most weddings we've shot at tend to have 8-10 per table, but we've seen from 4 right through to 11 (11 was very tight!)

    We are having 8 on most tables but there is one table with 7. I think anymore than 8 would be a squeeze

    Thanks guys, that's really helped. 8 for a table works well when I have moved people around so i'm glad that will be fine on the day.

    It really depends on your venue tables! We have both worked weddings, and the table sizes vary a lot. Our venue can offer tables of 6, 8, 10 or 12. But they only have so many of each. Which works for us, as we have some larger groups and some smaller. We're looking at having most of ours as 8-11 (we don't have a group bigger than 11) and just use the different taxable sizes as needed.
