Maybe the person who is renting you the space can give you some suggestions as far as how many 8-seaters or how many 10-seaters will actually fit leaving space for the dance floor...cause there is no way you can know without trying it out... ....If you haven't asked already....At least 5-6 10-seaters, plus head table OR 7 8-seaters plus head table)
OR you may consider long, rectangles or square tables:
The spaces are kind of big in these pics but you can save on room with square or rectangles. Best of luck

Hi everyone:
I am having a big problem on deciding on what size and shape of table to rent? I am having 50 guest attending the reception and I was thinking to get 4 - 72 in round table or 2 - 8 ft banquet table.
I know with the 72in. round it holds about 10 people but I don't know about the 8 ft banquet table.
I want to be able to have enough room to have a dance floor and not have everyone on top of each other. The reception area is the size of a studio apartment or a large loft.
My wedding is November 22, 2008 and I have not done anything yet.

8' tables seat 8 (2 on the ends, 3 each side). Round tables take up more floor space.
Living my life like it's GOLDEN!!
You can use this setup for some of your tables (maybe the bridal party and the families):

That's going to be hard to fit 50 people comfortably and have a dance floor. Are you having a dj as well? That's another table, plus you'll need a cake and gift table. Your best bet may be long banquet tables lining the walls of room creating a dance floor in the middle.

Thank you everyone!
I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to set up this room and what to rent. Thank you very much. I like the pictures, the DJ has a separate room to use.
At the 8ft table can 4 people sit together instead of 3 and do the bridal party have to sit with the bride and groom.

You can put 4 people at the 8ft table but it may be a little cramped (2ft per person). You can also sit people on both sides of the table. The BP can sit separately from the bride and groom. You can have a sweetheart table for you two and let the rest of the BP sit with the other guests or their significant others.
