Hosting Christmas dinner for the whole family is a joy, until you realize your dining table seats six and twenty people are coming. Renting tables and chairs is the easiest fix. Here is how to figure out exactly what you need.
The Quick Seating Formula
- 6 ft rectangular table: 6 adults comfortably, 8 if you squeeze in one at each end
- Round table: 8 adults
- Chairs: one per guest plus 10 percent extra
- Tablecloths: one per table
Example: Christmas Dinner for 24
Three 6 ft party tables placed end to end create one long family-style table that seats 24. Add 24 white chairs and three red or white tablecloths. Our Backyard Party Package includes exactly this combination.
Example: Christmas Dinner for 40
Five round tables with eight chairs each feel more like a banquet and let different branches of the family sit together. The Round Table Banquet Package makes ordering simple.
Do Not Forget the Extras
- A separate buffet table for dishes and desserts
- A kids' table so little ones can sit together
- A cocktail table near the entry for drinks and appetizers
Where to Put It All
Living rooms, garages and covered patios all work. Measure the space before ordering: allow about 3 feet behind each chair so guests can move around. If you are planning to move the party outdoors, a canopy tent keeps everyone comfortable.
