50 guests: 5 rounds of eight plus a head table, drawn to scale.

With 50 guests you could also use two or three long tables, or one U-shape — see small wedding seating. At rounds of eight you need 5; at rounds of ten, 4.

Rounds of eight (9 tables) give more flexibility for friend groups; rounds of ten (7) mean fewer centrepieces. A one-sided head table of ten seats the couple and a small wedding party.
