What if there’s a head table or children?

With an imperial head table of 12, that leaves 108 guests for the tables of 10: 11 round tables of 10 + 1 imperial table of 12, with 2 free seats.
If 15% of the guests are children, 18 sit at tables of their own and the combination becomes 13 round tables of 10, with 10 free seats.

Frequently asked questions

What if more people come than expected?

With 12 tables of 10 you have room for zero more guests without adding tables. If the list grows by more than that, you need one more table.

What if some guests drop out?

If the list drops to 110 guests, 11 tables of 10 will be enough. When guests drop out, their seat is freed up in the plan and you can bring together whoever is left.

Should I count babies?

Only if they take up a seat. A baby on a lap doesn’t need a chair, but a child who eats at the table counts as a guest.
