Flip Flop Basket

I was thinking of putting out a basket with flip flops but I don't know how many to buy.  Were looking at a wedding size of 150ish.  I figure I'll put them in the ladies room since guys don't usually take off their shoes.  So how many is enough, 15? 25?  Let me know what you think.  I don't want to be stuck with all these flip flops.

    This if from the blog of the rookie wife

    Over the course of 9 months I picked up about 40 pairs of flip flops from Old-Navy's across Maryland. Around the end of summer they went on sale for $1 each so I knew that was the time to buy! I purchased them in orange, green and pink. About 20 in size 8. About 6 or 7 in size 6. and about 10 in size 9. I figured, even people with smaller feet could still wear the 8's, it was always better to be bigger then smaller.

    I don't really understand this.  Why do you need to provide shoes for your guests?

    I actually worked at a reception site and saw this done ALOT!!!  I also saw alot of brides do slipper socks. Like the kind you slide on like a ballet shoe butof course with traction on the bottom so there are no dance floor injuries! As far as quanity goes, just think of the space you have for them. The bathroom counter is typically where i've seen them put, in like a large bucket type holder. How many ever you can fit in the holder or holders is how many you should get. Surely you or anyone else isn't going to be bothered by "restocking the flip flops" during the evening!!
