Why this matters.

Table size changes everything

Round tables for 10 fit more guests per table than round tables for 8, but they take up more floor space. Switching from 8-seat rounds to 10-seat rounds can cut your table count by 20% — which might mean a smaller venue or fewer centrepieces to buy.

Don't forget the top table

Your top table seats the wedding party and takes guests out of the general seating pool. Include it in your plan early so you don't end up with empty seats or, worse, not enough room for everyone.

Plan before you assign names

Before you start agonising over who sits where, figure out how many tables you need and what sizes work. This calculator gives you the numbers first — then you can drag people into seats in Our Vow Story.
