Create a seating chart like this for your next event using SmartDraw.

You need 3 feet per person to sit comfortably.
You can have assigned seating two ways: assign people to a specific table but let them choose their seat or assign them specific seats by putting their place cards at each seat.
Give each table a name or number.
Seat couples next to each other on circular tables and opposite from each other on long tables.
Make sure to leave enough room—48" preferred, and 36" as a bare minimum—between tables for people to walk to the bathroom or for servers to move around.
Round tables are easiest for servers to move around and they maximize guest interaction.
Chair backs should be about 2 to 3 feet apart.
Make sure to leave room for any event specific items such as a buffet table, the head table, check-in table, plants, props, DJ stand, lectern, and projector screen as applicable.
