I've been on 12-person rounds, which I think are too big as you can't talk comfortably to anyone except the people on either side of you. We're having 8-person rounds, which are more intimate&nbsp;-- I think you get the best of both worlds, as you can talk to everyone at the table easily, without the person at the end of the table getting a little left out.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/long-tables-or-round-tables#post-457375 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:18:44 +0000 Br1tSh1n1ngStar 457375@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>We had a mix due to the size of our room, and it worked out great. Long tables give people a little more room. Round is kind of constraining.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/long-tables-or-round-tables#post-456157 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:48:07 +0000 farfromordinarybride 456157@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>If you cannot choose both, don't! We will be having a mixture of the long king arthurs and squares. The benefit to doing a long table is that your guests have the option to speak with more than one person at the table, whereas with rounds, you are usually confined to the people on either side of you.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/long-tables-or-round-tables#post-456153 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:44:09 +0000 breanna21 456153@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>What are the pro's and Con's of&nbsp;round tables&nbsp;vs. long tables?</p> <p>I cannot choose. I love both!</p> <p>Which is better for an outdoor reception by the lake (under a tent)?</p>
