napkins and matchbooks- how many?

I want to order personalized napkins and matchbooks.

We're expecting around 150-200 guests.

They're sold by the hundreds. How many hundred would you order of each?

I was thinking
200 napkins
100 matchbooks

Is that ok? Should I do 200 matchbooks?

Re: napkins and matchbooks- how many?

I ordered 1 matchbook per expected guest and 2 napkins. So for a 200 person minimum, I ordered 200 matchbooks and 400 napkins.

Yes, I'm ordering from theknot since they are on sale.

Thanks for the input girls! I am def. going to do the 100 matchbooks...but now for napkins, I'm not too sure. Maybe I'll order 300?

Re: napkins and matchbooks- how many?

I think I ordered 300 for the same amount of people.

And just an FYI, the knot takes FOREVER if its personalized.

Re: napkins and matchbooks- how many?

I ordered 200 matches. I have about 165 guests BUT I am doing candle centerpieces that people can take home (donation in lieu of favors) so I figured with the candles, it may be nice...
If not, they will go in the ladies room at work lol
