How many candles per table?

I am doing something VERY similar and I think that number is perfect.. I am going to test it out however by measuring the same length and doing a makeshift table setting in my apartment....

It's hard to say how many will be able to fit without knowing the exact sizing of your centerpieces-- assuming its about a foot, then you'll need a foot at each end for the person sitting there, and maybe another foot total for the candle sticks-- that's 4 feet total already used up, which means two feet left on each side. Votives are usually two inches, but you won't put them all right in a row, so I'd say 7 should probably be on the higher end for each side.

Thank you both so much! That helps a lot

Warning -- the people at the ends of the tables will be bumping their knees on the legs (if the tables are like most).

Nancy--I hope not!! Our tables are wider than the standard size, so hopefully those extra inches give them some more leg room.
