    Round for all guests. I think the head table will be rectangle if we decide on having the wedding party sit with us

    Round!! Sadly my venue only does rectangle, so we are kind of stuck with them...

    Round! It's just better for communication between guests. I want everyone to be able to talk and enjoy themselves without feeling alone.

    Round. I've been a guest at a wedding with rectangle tables and did not enjoy them.

    I prefer round as the tables are typically smaller and it鈥檚 easier for guests to converse with everyone seated at the table. Rectangle does look nice for large weddings wherein it isn鈥檛 possible to talk to everyone at the table to begin with.

    Round - I find it's hard to talk to everyone at a rectangular table!

    Round tables! They are great for conversation around the table and easier for me to think about centrepieces.

    I love a combination of both actually! Gives good contract and changes up the look of the venue nicely! We will have both!

    Round - Then no one is on the end or feels left out!

    I wanted to do a mix of the two, but with our numbers and our venue, it just didn't work. So we're going round.

    Rectangle! Even though they're a bit less intimate, I love the "family-style" look and feel of long tables.

    Definitely round tables for us! It works with the space better. Our head table will be rectangle though.

    Round, rectangle makes it hard to move around the space depending on how big the wedding is

    Round encourages more conversation and no leaning front and back to talk to the person a few seats over

    Rectangular tables - I like the idea of a long continuous wedding table with a family-style dinner!

    Rectangular tables! And have to so everyone can see. Nothing more annoying then completely turning around in a chair.

    Round is more intimate and encourages conversation, also mathematically less people have to turn their heads 馃槀

    Prefer round as it allows everyone to converse better and feels a bit more formal to me.
