Round tables favour conversation, banquet tables fit more per square metre. The type changes how many sit comfortably.
The maximum isn't always the comfortable number. Leave a little room per guest and between tables for staff to pass.
One lively table of 8 beats two half-empty ones. Don't split friend groups just to fill tables.
Put your real guests on the tables and see what fits your space — instead of guessing.
Figures are indicative and depend on the table size, the chairs and the service space.
The most common rule is 8–10 guests per round table. A Ø1.5 m seats 8; a Ø1.8 m reaches 10–12 with narrower chairs.
A 2.4 m banquet table seats roughly 8–10 (both sides). Ideal for modern layouts and the head table.
Divide your guests by the capacity per table. E.g. 200 guests at rounds of 10 = 20 tables. Leave one or two spare for last-minute changes.
Decide whether children take a full seat or sit on a lap. In PlanMy you mark it per guest so the seat count adds up correctly.
Indicatively 8 at a Ø1.5 m table and 10–12 at a Ø1.8 m. The most common rule is 8–10 per round table.
A 1.8 m banquet table seats 6–8 and a 2.4 m about 8–10, counting both sides.
At rounds of 10, about 20 tables. Leave one or two spare for last-minute changes.
Round tables favour conversation and are the venue norm; banquet tables fit more per square metre. Try both on your floor plan.
