Ah 3.5 weeks to go and so much to do. gonna order programs. I have about 140 at reception. Need to know about how many would go to ceremony. It's a Friday wedding. Is 50% or less a fair estimate?

50% is a good assumption if you're getting married somewhere other than the venue. I had 200 at reception and had 100 things of rice for everyone at the church. Worked out fine.

I made 130 programs because we were having 131 guests at the wedding and I knew some of my students would be coming, and I have over 50 left over.

Where are you getting your programs from?

I had 175 for the reception. We made 175 and had about 40 leftover from the church.

I had a Friday wedding, too, at the church at 1:30pm. More than half came to the church, but I had a lot of people in town just for the wedding and my family is church going. My uncle is a priest and married us, for example.
