How many invites should I order??

We are planning on having 125pp. But I know for a fact that only about 5 of them are singles, the rest are couples so obviously they only need one invite. So do you think at 100 I'll have enough extras or do I need 125? Thanks

Re: How many invites should I order??

You generally need half of the invited guests. If inviting 125 people, I would order 75 invites. Theknot.com has a great invite tool, you enter all of your guests name's and address and it tells you how many invites you need. Or you can just count the addresses in whatever program you use for your guest list (I used Word and Excel).

You should figure out EXACTLY how many invitations you will need, then decide, I would say to order anywhere from 15-25 extra.
