Number of people at 72-inch round table?

We are putting between 6-10 at our tables. I will let you know how that goes for us.

Ten would be comfortable, 12 would be a bit crowded (unless you put all the kids at that table).

I have 72 in tables at my reception, and my venue coordinator said that they can seat 10 to 12 people comfortable. We are only putting 8 people at each table, and it is VERY spacious. I think 12 should be fine...

We had 60 inch rounds that we put anywhere between 6 and 10 people and they fit comfortably with 10 - i think you should be fine with 10-12

We sat 12 people at the 72'' tables, and space was not an issue. Any more than that might feel crowded, though.

We had 8-10 people at 72" rounds.

Our guests were all adults and a good portion of them are on the larger side (I come from a family of giants, particularly on my dad's side of the family. DH also has some "tall gene" things going on in his family. Many of our friends are taller/bigger people.)

I wanted to make sure that there was plenty of space for people to get up/down without the annoying "chair shuffle" AND that everyone's knees would be clear of the center supports on the tables.

Here is a picture of a 72" round with 10 chairs.

EDIT: Added a pic that shows the table top of a 72" rouns with place settings for 8 people

It's fine. No more than that though! In a perfect world, 10-11 people on a 72" round is ideal for giving people more space to get in/out of their seat and put extra drink glasses on the table - but once the plates are cleared it's fine.

A couple of our 72" tables had 12 people. They were all family and a mix of kids and adults, so it worked, but it would have definitely been tight to have 12 full-grown adults there, and maybe a bit too familiar if they were strangers. . . .Sorry I don't have any pics to show you. . .

Hello, do you have images of 6 people at 72" round tables? Did it look too empty?

Did you do this? We may end up having 1 table of 6.

Did anyone do 6 people at a 72" round table?!?! Do you have any pictures to show what it looked like?

View Quoted Comment Are the charger plates pictured 13" or 10"? I thought I saw someone shared a picture to demo 72" round table that had 10 chargers and they were practically touching each other. Thank you for sharing these pictures!!
