Every table size, worked out for 190 guests
Comfortable capacity is what caterers plan to — room for place settings, glassware and a centrepiece. The highlighted row is the layout most couples with 190 guests choose.
| Table | Tables | Seats | Spare | Dining floor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48" round · 6 per table | 32 | 192 | 2 | 3,200 sq ft |
| 60" round · 8 per table | 24 | 192 | 2 | 2,900 sq ft |
| 72" round · 10 per table | 19 | 190 | 0 | 2,740 sq ft |
| 84" round · 12 per table | 16 | 192 | 2 | 2,700 sq ft |
| 6 ft banquet · 6 per table | 32 | 192 | 2 | 3,260 sq ft |

Floor space counts each table plus a 3 ft ring for chairs and a walkway — the square a table occupies when the room is laid out on a grid. It leaves out the dance floor, bar and buffet.
A floor plan for 190 guests
With a head table
A head table for you and your wedding party (say 10 people on two 8 ft banquet tables pushed end to end) leaves 180 guests: 23 tables of eight (60-inch rounds), with 4 spare seats.
Stationery for 190 guests
190 place cards (48 sheets at four tent cards a sheet), 190 escort cards (19 sheets at ten a sheet), 20 table numbers, and a seating chart poster: a 24 × 36 in board keeps every name readable from a step away. Wedding Charts prints all of these from your finished plan.
Seat your 190 guests
Lay out your real room, import the guest list, and let the optimizer seat everyone around households and keep-apart rules — then print the poster, place cards and escort cards.

What size seating chart poster for 190 guests?
For 190 names, a 24 × 36 in board keeps every name readable from a step away. Sort it alphabetically by surname so guests can find themselves quickly.
Should I use tables of 8 or 10 for 190 guests?
Tables of eight (60-inch rounds) feel more intimate and are what most venues own. Tables of ten (72-inch rounds) cut the count from 24 to 19, which also means fewer centerpieces and table numbers. Either works; check what your venue or rental company stocks.
