Seating chart for 100 guests
With a hundred guests you are planning a room as much as a guest list. Thirteen round tables of eight is a common layout; after that, decide where the head table goes and check which tables end up behind a column.
Print the plan and walk the room with it before you fix anything. A table tucked in a corner gets few visitors all evening.

Questions
How many tables for 100 guests?
Thirteen of eight, or ten of ten. Thirteen spreads the room and keeps conversation groups smaller.
How do I avoid a table nobody wants?
Put the loudest group there, or the group with the most children. Never leave it to the last names on the list.
Do I need a plan for the venue?
Yes, and most venues ask for it a week ahead with numbers per table.
