Do you mean how many people are going to the church? I would say most of my guest somewhere around 125-130. So I figured half the amount for petal cones and I think I am going to make between 80-100 programs (because they are easier). Is that what you meant?

Hey...I finally finished...what do you think? I completed 58 of them. I hope that is enough. I figured 1 per couple/family. One more project down!!!!

PS...Chrissy I used you web image method! Works like a charm.

thanks girls I am flattered...I by no means came up with this ieda...but I will pass ont he info to make it..This is what I did.

I used a 12 by 12 piece of scrapbook paper...mainly because i liked the print...(girls on this board have done with 8.5 by 11).. I cut the paper in 4 and then set my printer to print a 4 inch by 4 inch piece of paper. I made a powerpoint file to position the monogram in the corner and printed. I then glued them into a cone shape (also tapped the inside seams because I am crazy) and glued and tied on the ribbon.

Easy!!!!

Honestly I think I did too many...but in the end it was worth it.
