How many tables for 150 guests?

For 150 guests you need 15 round tables of 10 seats. No seats are left over.

Now it’s a big party. With 150 guests it’s worth numbering the tables and putting the QR or a board at the entrance, so nobody wanders around looking for their seat. Also allow for wide aisles between the tables for the service.

What if there’s a head table or children?

With an imperial head table of 12, that leaves 138 guests for the tables of 10: 14 round tables of 10 + 1 imperial table of 12, with 2 free seats.
If 15% of the guests are children, 23 sit at tables of their own and the combination becomes 16 round tables of 10, with 10 free seats.

Frequently asked questions

What if more people come than expected?

With 15 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 140 guests, 14 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.
