How many tables for 50 guests
at 8 per table (60-inch round)
at 10 per table (72-inch round)
Rounded up so no one is left standing. Ask your venue what size tables they rent, since that sets the seats per table.
Fifty is the tipping point. A chart at the entrance or a set of escort cards stops the opening scrum, and place cards still set who sits in each chair for a plated meal.
What you can print
Escort cards
Escort cards tell each guest which table to find. Seatwright sorts your whole list A to Z and lays it out as tent cards, so the entrance table stays easy to scan.
Place cards
Place cards sit at the seat itself. Seatwright groups your guests by table and prints one card each, with the meal choice underneath the name if you added one.
Table numbers
A table needs a number a guest can read from the door. Seatwright prints one foldable tent sign per table, large and centered, straight from the tables on your list.
Seating chart
One poster by the door lets everyone find their seat at a glance. Seatwright lays out your whole list alphabetically with each guest's table beside the name.
How Seatwright seats 50 guests
Paste your 50-guest list once, two columns, name and table. Already know who sits where? Seatwright lays the whole set out exactly as you assigned it.
Only have the names? Paste them bare, pick how many to a table, and Seatwright fills Table 1, 2, 3 and on down the list in order, so you start from a seated draft instead of a blank grid.
Either way you get the four print-ready pieces from the same list: escort cards sorted A to Z, place cards grouped by table, a tent number for every table, and one find-your-seat poster for the door.
