What size tablecloth do I need for a 60" round table?

For a full floor-length drape on a 60" round table, you need a 120" round tablecloth. For a lap-length drop (sits on guests' laps), use a 108" round. If you just want to cover the top with a 6-inch drop, use a 90" round.

How many guests can sit at a standard rectangular banquet table?

A 6-foot (72") rectangular banquet table comfortably seats 6 guests (3 per side). An 8-foot table seats 8 (4 per side). If you also seat guests at the ends, add 1-2 more per table.

Round vs Rectangular Tables

Round tables are the most popular choice for wedding receptions because they encourage conversation across the whole table and look elegant with a draped tablecloth. Rectangular tables fit more guests per square foot, are easier to arrange in long banquet rows, and give an intimate, family-style atmosphere.

Allow Space for Comfort

A comfortable seated dinner requires at least 12 square feet per guest. This accounts for the table, chairs, and walkways. Don't forget to add space for the dance floor (50–100 sq ft minimum), DJ/band setup, bar, cake table, gift table, and any photo booth.
