Turn Your Fundraiser Into a Comfortable, Well-Planned Event
Planning a church fundraiser dinner takes more than food and tickets — the layout and seating setup can make or break the atmosphere. From maximizing space to creating an inviting environment, choosing the right tables and chairs is key.
How Many Tables and Chairs Do You Need?
Let’s estimate based on expected attendance:
| Guest Count | Table Type | Tables Needed | Chairs Needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 Guests | 6' Rectangular | 5–6 | 40–45 |
| 75 Guests | 8' Rectangular | 8–10 | 75–80 |
| 100 Guests | Round or Rectangle | 10–12 | 100–110 |
| 150 Guests | Banquet Style Rows | 15–18 | 150–160 |
💡 Tip: Leave at least 2–3 feet between tables to allow servers and guests to move comfortably.
Layout Options That Encourage Participation
- Banquet Rows with Center Aisle – Best for silent auctions or live performances
- Square “Stations” – Encourages small group interaction at each table
- Perimeter Buffet with Central Seating – Efficient for meal lines
Add-Ons That Help Fundraising Events Run Smoothly

| Check-in/Registration | Organize raffles, tickets, name tags |
| Donation Table | Collect offerings, pledge cards |
