How many guests fit at a square tables
about 4 guests, one per side
about 8 guests, two per side
At about 4 per table, 100 guests is roughly 25 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.
A square seats four in easy conversation, one to a side, or up to eight with two per side. Push two squares together and you have a table of eight without renting a round. They read tidy and modern, and they fit rooms a big round would crowd.
How Seatwright seats a square tables
Number each square on your list and paste it. Seatwright groups the place cards by table, prints a tent number for each square, and builds the chart for the door. It handles the cards and signs; you handle the floor plan.
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.
Four to a square table is the sweet spot for conversation. Push two squares into a table of eight when you need more seats without switching to rounds.
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.

Questions
How many people fit at a square table?
About 4 at a 36-inch square, one per side, or up to 8 at a 48-inch square with two per side. These are standard rental sizes, so confirm with your venue.
Can you push square tables together?
Yes. Two squares make a table of eight, and a row of them makes a long family-style run. Label each group clearly so the place cards and chart stay in sync.
How do I make place cards for square tables?
Paste your list with a table number beside each name, and Seatwright lays out the place cards grouped by table, eight to a sheet with cut and fold lines. Preview free.
