How many tables for 20 guests
at 8 per table (60-inch round)

Rounded up so no one is left standing. Ask your venue what size tables they rent, since that sets the seats per table.
At twenty guests, a place card at each seat does almost all the work. You may not need escort cards or a chart poster at all, just clear cards and maybe one table sign. Seatwright still prints the whole set if you want it, so the head table and the family table read the way you planned.
What you can print
Escort cards
Escort cards tell each guest which table to find. Seatwright sorts your whole list A to Z and lays it out as tent cards, so the entrance table stays easy to scan.
Place cards
Place cards sit at the seat itself. Seatwright groups your guests by table and prints one card each, with the meal choice underneath the name if you added one.
Table numbers
A table needs a number a guest can read from the door. Seatwright prints one foldable tent sign per table, large and centered, straight from the tables on your list.
Seating chart
One poster by the door lets everyone find their seat at a glance. Seatwright lays out your whole list alphabetically with each guest's table beside the name.
How Seatwright seats 20 guests
Paste your 20-guest list once, two columns, name and table. Already know who sits where? Seatwright lays the whole set out exactly as you assigned it.
Only have the names? Paste them bare, pick how many to a table, and Seatwright fills Table 1, 2, 3 and on down the list in order, so you start from a seated draft instead of a blank grid.
Either way you get the four print-ready pieces from the same list: escort cards sorted A to Z, place cards grouped by table, a tent number for every table, and one find-your-seat poster for the door.

Questions
How many tables do I need for 20 guests?
About 3 tables of 8 (a 60-inch round), or 2 tables of 10 (a 72-inch round). Confirm the table size with your venue first, since that sets your seats per table.
Do I need a seating chart for 20 guests?
You can, but at 20 guests place cards at each seat often do the job on their own. A chart or escort cards become more useful as the count climbs.
How do I make place cards for 20 guests?
Paste your 20-name list, assign tables or let Seatwright fill them in order, and it lays out all 20 place cards grouped by table, eight to a sheet with cut and fold lines. Preview free, print on cardstock.
