African American Weddings

Flip flops...

I was looking through some wedding pics and almost every lady at the reception was barefooted! This is one of my biggest wedding pet peeves.... I originally hadn't planned to do the "dancing shoes" basket but now I am.

What's the flip flop to guest ratio? How many pairs would you supply if your having 75 or so ladies?

    75 guests? I would probably do 25-30.

    Ok so....I've have quite a few clients do the flip flop basket


    NOTE: If you have 75 ladies buy enough for each person, b/c trust me they will SCOUR that basket like it's FREE MONEY


    Old Navy's sale is usually in May around MDW {memorial day weekend}

    I am not buying them for all those women, just the bridal party and my mom and my fmil.

    I think they only let you get 5 pairs per customer though. The link that mahoganies posted is great though.

    I got some flip flops already... Not sure how many I will get.  I have 130 women coming to the wedding... I am not getting that many flip flops.  I will probably get around 50.

    Umm, I've never been to a wedding where they handed out flip flops?!  That seems strange to me.  A good idea but odd.

    Are you going to ask 75 women what size shoe they wear or just get 100 and hope that everyone can find a pair that fit?

    YES! I started collecting my Flip Flops about a year ago. I so didn't want people running and dacing in bare feet! See it at every wedding I have EVER gone to! SMH! Not sure of how many I have though! LOL!

    No problem ladies. We have a 200 guestlist and not planning on doing that many but ordering the flip flops from Dollar Tree, minus 2 pairs for me and my bm. I think 40 is enough.
