I've started making wedding programs, and we're anticipating 60-70-ish guests. How many programs should we make? 1 per person, 1 per couple, enough for 75% of people...? I just don't want to end up with a ton of extras to throw out.
One per couple, plus a few extra. We had a lot left over. Many people looked at it and then left it on the chair. I'd say 60% of your total attendance number.
If you are openly inviting members of your church to the ceremony (as is common in some circles) then I'd probably make one for every woman invited and one for every 3 or 4 men invited (don't factor in kids under 16 in this count imo) plus an extra 10%.
When the usher releases the woman into the pew, he hands her a program. Then he steps aside, and as the husband crosses in front of the usher to enter the pew, the usher hands the husband a program. Then as each kid crosses in front of the usher to enter the pew, the usher hands each kid a program.
Each person is handed a program, personally, by the usher, as the person crosses in front of the usher into the pew.

Yeah, that's not actually legally binding.
I think people are right on with either 1 per couple or about 60% of guests.

A good rule of thumb is one per couple or single guest. At least for the ones that will be attending, so you might want to wait until your responses are in.

I'm also about to print my programs so I'm thinking this one per couple is a good thing.
