how many second line handkerchiefs?

How many are y'all getting?  We are anticipating between 80-110 guests, and at a point where every nickel counts.  I am considering getting 80....I find it hard to believe that everyone (particularly the men) will want/need one....thoughts?  I'd hate for someone to want one and not get one, but I don't want a ton of extra too.

    I would guess that about 2/3 of your attending guests will still be there at the end of the reception, plus extras as mementos.

    Are you doing it between ceremony and reception or after reception? If it is after your reception I think you can get away with less. Mine is after the ceremony so I'm going to order enough for everybody. Gem's sells them in batches of 25 so I'll have a few extras. When I thought my headcount was going to be ten more I was not going to order another 25 to make sure everyone had one and get stuck with 15 extra. I'm with you...that 45 counts right now!!

    Also, I don't know where you are ordering from but Gem's has a one day turnaround time do you can wait to order them when you have your final headcount and you won't be guessing what your attendance will be.

    Thanks I'm glad you got me to look at gem again....I didn't do the math on the prices and was thinking second line handerkerchiefs was way cheaper, but they are actually only a little cheaper.  this may be worth paying the difference for a faster turnaround time!
