Crescent table seating chart
Half-round tables, also called crescent rounds or half-moons. Guests sit along the outer curve, so everyone faces the same way toward the head table, stage, or dance floor.

about 3 to 4 guests along the outer curve of each half-round
A crescent seats only along its outer curve, so no one has their back to the couple or the stage. Set two or three crescents in an arc around an open center and a whole group faces forward while still sharing a table. Guests sit shoulder to shoulder on the curve, so plan on about three or four per half-round and confirm the size with your venue.
How Seatwright seats a crescent (half-round) tables
Give each crescent, or each arc of crescents, a label on your list, then paste it. Seatwright groups the place cards by that label, prints a tent number or a name sign for each one, and builds one chart for the door. It does not draw the arc, so you set how the crescents curve and Seatwright lays out the paper.
Seatwright prints the cards, the table numbers, and the chart from your list. It does not draw a floor plan, so you decide the room layout and Seatwright handles the paper.
Do not seat the flat back of a crescent. Guests sit on the curved side only so they face forward, which is the whole point of renting half-rounds instead of full rounds.
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.
Plan the seating
How many guests per table
Before you can seat anyone, you need to know how many chairs go around each table. Here are the standard sizes and what they hold.
Wedding seating chart etiquette
There is no seating police, but a few common conventions make the room flow. Treat these as starting points, not rules you have to follow.
Questions
How many people fit at a crescent table?
About three or four along the outer curve of each half-round. Set two or three crescents in an arc and the cluster seats six to twelve while everyone still faces forward. Confirm the size with your venue.
What is a crescent round table?
A half-round table, shaped like a crescent moon. Two crescents pushed together make a full round, but on their own they seat guests on the curved side only, so the group faces the stage, head table, or dance floor.
How do I make place cards for crescent tables?
Label each crescent or arc on your list, paste it, and Seatwright groups the place cards by that label, eight to a US Letter sheet with cut and fold lines. Preview the whole set free.
