question for table arrangements...

starting to do our seating... do you think 7 people at a table would look too empty? Its either this or split them up between two other existing tables (and therefore those tables will just be a little bit more crowded than the others). thoughts?

how many are at your other tables?

i could split up these people into existing tables we have, and there can be a max of 12 at each, but i was not sure if that is going to be too overcrowded..

I dont think 12 is overcrowded at 12. I think 12 looks better than 7. 7 is a little empty.

AND you would have one less CP so you'd save money

Also if you want 7 at a table make sure its ok with the RH. I just found out yesterday if we have less than 8 at a table we are charged $25 for each table!

Yea definitely check. My RH told us our minimum at a table was 10. But I have two with 8 and one with 9 so I called to make sure it wouldn't be a problem.

ask if you could push 2 tables together, my hall does this to a few tables if needed that way no one is separated

I think it depends how big the tables are. My RH's tables seat 8, so 7 would work fine for us. However, if they seated 12, I think it might look empty.

at jt they said to have 10-12 at a table, i had that at all except one i had to have 8. it was a tad empty but not too bad just to give you an idea.

Yep, was going to mention this. Our oval tables say 12-14 ppl. I had 1 table of 8 and another sat 9. Most of our tables were 10-12 though. It worked out perfectly since I cut out 2 CPs by switching from round to oval.

Also, be sure to ask where your vendors will eat. Same room or in another room. No one mentioned it to me until the last week. So I accounted for a CP for the vendor table.
