A reception that mixes table shapes on purpose: two long tables near the sweetheart table where each family sits together family-style, and six round tables of eight for everyone else. It gives both families a table of their own close to the couple, and the rounds keep conversation easy for friends who know fewer people.
What happens next: you create a PlanSeats account (no credit card), and this layout opens as your event with all 9 tables placed. The free plan seats up to 20 guests; upgrade when you are ready to seat everyone.

Seating tips
Give each family its own long table and seat the parents at the end nearest the couple.
Use the rounds for friend groups, one group per table where you can.
Match the long tables to the venue’s real table length before seating anyone.
