How many tables for 70 guests?

For 70 guests, you will likely need between 7 and 9 tables. If you choose round tables that seat 10, you need 7 tables. If you prefer tables of 8, you need 9 tables. Rectangular tables can often seat 10 to 12, so you might need only 6 or 7.

Consider the shape of your room and where you want the dance floor, bar, and gift table. Leave at least 1 metre between tables so guests and staff can move easily. You should also think about the view: some guests prefer to face the top table or the dance floor, so angle tables accordingly.

If you have a mix of couples and singles, try to balance the numbers so no table feels too crowded or too empty. A seating plan that groups people by connection, not just age, often works best. Confirm your venue's table sizes and maximum capacity before you finalise.
