How many cocktail napkins to order?

I know they're a total waste to spend money on, but I'm going into that crazy bride brain mode again and beginning to consider buying some.

If I do order them, how many would you say I should get?  We're likely going to have at least 150 guests.

And any suggestions about where to order them from?

    I ordered about 300 and I was originally anticipating 150-175 guests. I ordered mine from the knot when they had a sale.

    I only bought 175 and had 170 guests.  We didn't have left over, but the hall had other cocktail napkins too.

    I got mine on Ebay, whatever was cheapest at the time.

    If you decide to do it get some so that everyone gets one with their first drink maybe 2nd drink but the rest its fine to use the venue's napkins. Cheaper too!

    Yeah, I'd do 300 if you are expecting 150. I've ordered some other stuff from exclusivelyweddings.com and was happy with them.. not sure how much the napkins are through them.. I think I have a promo code for free shipping if you need it.

    I am torn about getting napkins! I've been debating! Where are you looking to get them? Kassaby- were u happy with the ones from the knot? I have heard they run bigger then the normal cocktail napkin. I've been considering them because they seem like a good price!

    Yes-I really liked mine. I didn't notice if they were any bigger but I don't really have anything to compare them to.
