According to the industry standard Wilton chart:
http://www.wilton.com/cakes/making-cakes/baking-wedding-cake-2-inch-pans.cfm
a 9" round (32 servings)
and a 6" square (18 servings)
would yield exactly 50 servings...
top it with whatever round size 1st anniversary tier that fits for them to freeze.
Thank y'all for the help.... If i was to do a 6 inch round and a 6 inch square on top of each other would that work?

You can't put the 6" square on the 6" round because the corners of the square will overhang the edge of the round. You could put the round on the square, but you will have no gap between the tiers, which could look a bit strange IMO. I suggest drawing the different size shapes on paper, and putting them on top of each other so you get an idea. Better would be if you had cake dummies to play with combinations
One thing I've done is to get creative on the HEIGHT of the tiers. If you did a 10 inch round double layer cake, an 8 inch square SINGLE layer cake, and a 6 inch round double layer cake you will get a little closer to your 50 servings. You don't always have to do double thickness tiers! The double layer cake tiers will be around 4 inches tall and the single layer tier will be about 2 inches tall. I made a baby shower cake I did where I had 3 tiers and different thicknesses- it's the onesie cake in my profile.

An 8" square won't fit on a 10" round. It needs to go on at least a 12".
Here are the right angle measurements:
4" 5.66
5" 7.07
6" 8.49
7" 9.9
8" 11.31
9" 12.73
10" 14.14
11" 15.56
12" 16.97
13" 18.38
14" 19.8
15" 21.21
16" 22.63
17" 24.04
18" 25.46
