Calculate how many tables, meals, and place settings you need for your wedding or event based on guest count and table size.
Event Planning Summary
Guest list and seating math helps you plan tables, meals, and supplies for any event.
Tables Needed:
Tables = ⌈Total Guests / Guests Per Table⌉ (rounded up)
Meals and Place Settings:
Meals Needed = Total Guests (plan for 100% of confirmed guests)
It’s common to add a 5–10% buffer for last-minute additions or plus-ones.
Standard table sizes:
- Round table (8 guests): Most common for weddings, fits a 60" round table
- Round table (10 guests): Fits a 72" round table
- Round table (12 guests): Fits a large banquet table
Pro tip: Reserve 1–2 extra tables for overflow seating and vendor meals.
