Every table size, worked out for 90 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 90 guests choose.
| Table | Tables | Seats | Spare | Dining floor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48" round · 6 per table | 15 | 90 | 0 | 1,500 sq ft |
| 60" round · 8 per table | 12 | 96 | 6 | 1,450 sq ft |
| 72" round · 10 per table | 9 | 90 | 0 | 1,300 sq ft |
| 84" round · 12 per table | 8 | 96 | 6 | 1,350 sq ft |
| 6 ft banquet · 6 per table | 15 | 90 | 0 | 1,530 sq ft |
| 8 ft banquet · 8 per table | 12 | 96 | 6 | 1,430 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.

90 place cards (23 sheets at four tent cards a sheet), 90 escort cards (9 sheets at ten a sheet), 10 table numbers, and a seating chart poster: one A2 board holds every name at an easily read size. Wedding Charts prints all of these from your finished plan.

What size seating chart poster for 90 guests?

Should I use tables of 8 or 10 for 90 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 12 to 9, which also means fewer centerpieces and table numbers. Either works; check what your venue or rental company stocks.
