So... how many programs should I order?

We're inviting 245 people to our wedding. I found a really great DIY program on amazon for a great price and need to order them soon. So, how many programs should I have for 245 invited, not confirmed guests? 200ish?

BTW, here's a link to them if you want to get in on them:

Can you order an exact number or do you have to order in groups (of like, 25?) ? 

Do you have any guests you are sure will not come? (As in, we're sending around 20 invites to OOT people who we know who cannot make it but it's mandatory to send them one) 

I would order more than you think you need. Sure, some people may not grab one, but some people (IDK how your family is) may want one as a keepsake or whatever. You can always recycle them in the end if you don't want them. Better safe than sorry...

How many actual invites are you sending?

If you're not having someone hand out the programs, I'd probably order about 75-80% of the number of invites you're sending.

For example, we invited 280 people, sent 130 invites and made 105 programs.  100 of the 105 programs were picked up/used
