How many tables for a wedding

Guest tables = round up ((total people − people at the sweetheart or head table) ÷ seats per guest table). For 150 people, a sweetheart of 2, and 8-seat guest tables: 19 guest tables, 20 physical tables, 4 spare seats. This count has no room dimensions, table footprints, or aisle layout. It cannot say whether the tables fit the room.

19 guest tables

Guest tables = round up ((total people − people at the sweetheart or head table) ÷ seats per guest table). That is 20 physical tables, 154 seats, 4 spare. Chair count only — not a room plan, and not a party-validated seating.

Other headcounts, same formula

Nearby counts stay on this page. A separate URL would only substitute the number. Worked examples for 100 and 150 are linked because those pages already exist.

Sweetheart of 2, guest tables confirmed at 8. Chair counts only.
