Totally NBR-Help w/dinner set up

So I have a dining room table that has 2 leaves. 10 people fit very comfortably - 4 on each long side, 1 on each end. However, I have 14 people coming.

Option A: We can squish 5 on each long side and 2 on each end. It's not ideal but it could work. 

Option B: Add another 6 foot table, take up quite a bit of my living room and have people super spaced out.

I should add - it's my mom's side only and typically we are at my Nanny's tiny house with even more of us and we squish over there.

    If it will be easy to take down the additional table afterwards while people mill around, I would vote add the extra table. I only say this because I am big on personal space.

    But..if everyone is used to being a little squished, I wouldnt add the headache of taking more space up in the living room. If no one is going to complain and pretty much get up after they eat- it might be easier.

    I'm not help. lol. I think either way you will be fine.

    I talked to my momma dukes and she said to squish instead of taking up extra room. I'll see how bad it looks once I set the table...if need be, we'll throw it up! Thanks...kind of answered my own question on this one.

    Are you taking into account space for JT's high chair?

    He has a little corner set up that isn't at the table but will be right next to my chair...the same way he eats all the time. Thanks for mentioning that...how awful if I would have forgotten him too (which could totally happen with all of this madness :)

    At MIL's we always squish around the table! There isn't always a lot of room but the whole family is together. I prefer it that way personally!
