Re: HOW MANY INVITES DO I ORDER

I'd say 200-225, just to be safe. You're probably fine with 200.

Re: HOW MANY INVITES DO I ORDER

Do you see that guest list being cut down at any time?

I guess I would order 300 invites personally.

Re: HOW MANY INVITES DO I ORDER

I would say figure out round about how many people are a couple b/c then you take away about 1/2 the invites and work from there...it really depends on the situations of people you are inviting

Re: HOW MANY INVITES DO I ORDER

I counted the number of households, if that makes sense.

I have a list of 210 but I only need about 120-150 invites because I have alot of cousins and there are alot of families and couples too soooo yeah that's about all the help I've got for you.

Re: HOW MANY INVITES DO I ORDER

If you think 150, then go with 175. It's always good to have a few extra, IMO.

Re: HOW MANY INVITES DO I ORDER

if you want people in one house to bring a guest send separate invites

For example, I'm sending my aunt & uncle an invite but i'm also sending my 2 cousins their own invite w/ a guest even though they all live in the same house.

that's about all i can give. i guess slightly over ordering in better than not having enough! who needs that stress

Re: HOW MANY INVITES DO I ORDER

we are inviting 172 people as of right this moment.
we need 102 invites
we'll order 125 or 150 depending on the way you can add on invites.

if the families are invited, and they all live together,with people under 18 they only need 1 invite.

if they are families with people OVER 18, everyone over 18 gets an invite. (couples obviously get one)

so the number of people you are inviting, doesnt really determine how many invites you need... it's the way the invites break down that does.

i hope that helped. i kind of confused myself.

Re: HOW MANY INVITES DO I ORDER

is your guest list on an excel spreadsheet? what i did was just place a number next to the persons name. and then just added it up that way. I'm invited about 300 guests and it came out to about 150 i would need.
