table assignments - crowd in or split up?

coppercoin123 · August 2009

I'm working on my seating chart (only assigning tables, not seats) - my tables can hold 10 but it's crowded, 8 is the best number of guest per table. I have a few groups that are 9 or 10 - if you were my guest - would you rather be crowded at a table with your closest family and/or friends or split up at two tables close together? It's a dinner and dancing reception. Thanks!

I'd rather be split than be crammed in. I appreciate my elbow room when eating. There's plenty of time to mingle before and after dinner.

Don't cram or split up!! No need to. We had a few tables of 6 because that is what worked out best for the families. We didn't want to mix the families - most people would hate that and we wanted to set people with others they would want to spend the evening with. We had mostly 8's, but 1 had 7 and I think 3 or 4 had 6. It was no problem. There is no need to split or cram.

I went up to 9 if I had to and I split some people, but they all just moved their chairs to sit with the people they wanted. So I'd go with crowd.

Honestly, it won't really matter - if they don't like their seating arrangement, they'll move.
