Hi, I have a question for recent brides who just got married and put out flip flops for guests. I want to know how many you actually used. I'm a manager of an old navy and I've seen recent brides returning dozens of pairs they purchased. I am having about 150 guests. So I'm figuring about 50 pairs in mostly size 7 & 8. Please let me know about your experience with them..thanks!!

    I had 130 guests and bought about 35 pairs in a range of sizes and every pair was used.

    I got all of mine at the ON $1 flip flop sale last year.  I got about 55 pairs for 204 guests.  Mostly 7s, 8s, and 9s.

    @mseminerio84 When will the $1 flip flop sale be? I'm waiting to hear so I can get flip flops for my wedding too! My friend just had them at her wedding and ran out! I am going to get enough pairs for probably 75% of the females invited. I figure the older women usually wear their shoes all night lol

    As a adult, I wear heels that are comfortable or I bring a pair of flats to change into.  $1 Old Navy flip flops are not comfortable to me.  I'd skip it, save the money and upgrade something in the food/bar area instead.

    Eh, I think you need to know your audience. $50 isn't going to get you much in terms of upgrades, and I know most of my guests don't want to bring multiple pairs of shoes or bags or anything like that. If your guests are more likely to bring their own change of shoes, then I agree you can save the money.

    I 100% agree and was going to reply saying something similar. It would never occur to me to change into flip flops at a wedding. Flip flops to me are the least dressy item anyone can own, and pairing them with dresses (even if not formal) doesn't look great....imo. I wear them with bathing suits and tank tops on the way to the beach only - not at a formal (or semi-formal event).

    Even if it's only $50 - I'd save your money. You can do a lot of other things with $50.

    Every single pair went at my wedding before dinner was even over.  My guests really loved it.  Guess it depends on your crowd.
