Washington-Seattle

How many programs?

Sending out 67 invites, so I am thinking I should make 50 programs? Maybe 45? What do you guys think?

    I'd do 50. You'll want a couple for yourself, maybe your family will want one, etc?

    I'd do 65. You'll want some to save and, unless they are really spendy, it's nice to just have extras. However, that would be if they will be on every seat or something. If they are just available, I'd go with less because not everyone will take them. We're going to do fans on each seat, so I'm just going to order the same as our guest list (or make them, which I might do, but either way it'll be equal to the number of guests to avoid any issues).

    I'd do 50. It's not like everyone's going to take one, but you want a momento, too. Or, you can always wait to see how many RSVPs you get, then get them printed.

    I would only make like 45. I don't think people keep them and they tend to get left on chairs. 45-50 is a good amount.

    Only half of my guests took one. I have a ton left. For roughly 100 guests, i'd make 50-60.

    I agree with Sara, I would lean toward the 45ish side. When I talked to the gal at Paper Fling, she said most couples only take one. For my guest list of 60 she suggested 40-45. HTH.

    Wait...67 invites (meaning ~135 invited) or 67 actually invited? I'd wait for RSVPs to come in and then do about 75% of that number.

    So invited guests are 124 people. I only expect 90 to 100 to show up.. So I will do 50 programs. people can share.

    That should be good. The guys won't care, and your wedding party obviously won't have a chance to take any. ;-)

    I agree with Sara, we have about 150 invited but I'm making 50-60 (depends on how much paper I have left from making invites.) Number 1, I don't want to buy more paper, number 2 only the "moms and grandmas" really care (at least with our families,) and three I'm jacking one for myself even before the wedding date! :) Good luck!
