@atlbride2013:  I really don’t have many options. I had 121 on my list and my parents made me invite a bunch of their friends 🙁

@sheepandbear: I can’t imagine 24 will say no, but maybe, right?!! actually 13 table including us BUT table #13 is small, just 6: me, Fiance, Maid/Matron of Honor and date, and best man and wife. So that leaves 124 spread out at 12 tables. But they won’t all come….. RIGHT? haha

If there is any way around it please don’t.  My stepdd did and it was awful.  I was in the military as a career and at my last conference dinner they did 10 and it was the biggest thing complained about during the after action report the following morning.

At the conference there were bread and butter plates, drinks, dinner plates, coffee cups, the whole shebang.  If you have to do this, try to keep the tables as minimalistic as possible.

Good luck and I wish you just enough declines to make everything work out.

Could you do some pub tables by the columns?  Men sometimes like to stand and mingle.

@MLDoddie:  That’s an awesome idea, but we are having a plated dinner and I think even if it’s not that long peeps need to sit :/

@lealorali:  

Would 6 or 8 ft rectangular tables fit better/hold more people?

@MLDoddie:  I’m not sure, I heard they don’t usually hold more than rounds… and I’d have to rent them all, and budget does not allow for that!

Here’s a 60″ with 9 settings:

I use 60″ tables at work and I never put more than 8. I prefer it even better when I only have 6 or 7.

Could 10 fit? I guess. Would they be comfortable? Definitely not. I don’t even really know how you’d fit 10 formal place settings.

I’m just getting started with the planning and I am going to have a similar problem in that I am having an outdoor wedding and want to make sure everyone fits under the tent.  I was talking to the rental place and they said we could put a few tables on the dance floor for dinner and then move the tables afterwards.

I noticed that you said absolutely no tables on the dance floor so now I am wondering if what I am thinking about doing is tacky.

@mtbikelover: No, it’s not tacky! Logistically, it’s a good plan. But at my venue, there’d be nowhere to put the tables but in a closet or something. Those guests at the table that were on the dance floor would then have no “home base” so to speak, if they wanted to sit or for cake, which we’re doing later ya know?

You could always get bar stools & pub tables for the younger [20’s] crowd, or if you have alot of children put up small kids tables.

If you move tables off the dance floor, where will these people sit if they want to visit with someone, eat cake, etc?

@jenilynevette:  No children are coming, and it’s a 3 course plated meal so I don’t want anyone without an official setting, ya know?

@lealorali:  I vote no. we have 60 inch rounds and there are only 8 at each. I don’t think you could put all the chairs in if you had 10
