How many guests fit at a round tables
about 6 guests
about 8 guests, the most common size
about 10 to 12 guests
At about 8 per table, 100 guests is roughly 13 of these tables. Divide your headcount by the seats per table and round up. Ask your venue what size they rent, since that sets the seats per table.
Everyone at a round can see everyone else, so conversation carries and no one is stuck facing a wall. A 60-inch round seats eight without crowding. Number each table, drop a tent sign on it, and set a place card at every chair.
How Seatwright seats a round tables
Give each round a number on your list, then paste it. Seatwright groups the place cards table by table, prints a tent number for each round, and builds one alphabetical chart for the door. It does not draw the room, so you decide where each round goes and Seatwright handles the paper.
Seatwright prints the cards, the table numbers, and the chart from your list. It does not draw a floor plan, so you decide the room layout and Seatwright handles the paper.
Do not seat a round to its absolute limit. Ten chairs on a 60-inch round leaves no elbow room. Drop to eight and the table breathes.
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.

Wedding seating chart etiquette
There is no seating police, but a few common conventions make the room flow. Treat these as starting points, not rules you have to follow.
