Your wedding in numbers: How many tables at your reception?

How many different tables will you have at your reception? Are you sticking with standard 8-10 person rounds, or switching it up with long tables? Don't forget - your total number of tables determines the number of centerpieces and tablecloths you'll need! Photo by The Purple Chair Next question:...

    5 eight foot long farmhouse tables running end to end so they create one long table.

    I haven't seen the space yet (destination wedding on cruise ship). There will probably be close to 15 smaller tables as the reception is in the nightclub onboard the ship.

    We plan to host around 200 guests if half decline, so we will likely have twenty guest tables. I've read that ten at a table could seat comfortably. I think that is a reasonable expectation.

    For our guests specifically 30 ten person round tables, our head table will have 2 long tables with a round table in the middle, and of course the gift & cake tables which I believe will have one long and one round

    8 people per round table! Going pretty traditional! May do a long table at the front for the bridal party!

    Hi Victoria! A long table for the bridal party would be really fun Smiley smile Would you and your fiancé(e) be at this table as well or have your own sweetheart table attached or nearby?

    There is two in the room but I am pretty sure the 11 of us may be able to fit at one table (I hope so, I want it to be intimate).
