Did you make yours Jen? Or order them? You don't know what a big relief it is to see those numbers!!! I thought I was going to have to make like 100

I ended up ordering mine from Laura-La Productions...
I really think close family and friends are coming to the church so i just don't think i need that many. In fact i was looking to order less but they come in 25 when i ordered LOLOL

Yeah we're doing around 75 programs for 116 guest. Everyone I know always had extras....we are just having the Usher's hand them out to the women of the couples....so one per couple.
They did this at a Riviera wedding i went to.

You making 'em , Jimmy'sbride?

I wanted to order them, but don't think I'll have to time, (the freakinsampeltakes 2weeks!)so I bought paper & will attemptto make them.
I have 87 guests, I think. The pack came with 100 sheets.
I may make all 100 just so it doesn't look skimpy in the basket.

I know.. .I should just buy a smaller basket.. .

Are me & my FH the only dorks that both take them?

Well at one friend's wedding I think everyone took them, because it was hot & people were fanning them selves with them.

Hey... as long as you aren't tying ribbons into stupid lopsided bows on 100 programs, you'll be fine!!

If ya couldn't tell, I'm having a dandy old time yes, making mine!

I gave up on the bows. Jimmy's doing them! Can you believe he is better at tying bows than me?

I don't mean to ask my question in your post but I have a lot of people coming to the church that aren't coming to reception. I invited 125 to the reception so I'm figuring 150 for the church. Do you give a program to every guest or just a couple. I don't know how many programs to make.

Jean is better at that stuff than me too. He wraps all of our gifts. I guess it is across between his experience working in a bookstore & tying knots in Boy Scouts!

My programs areso dull. NO ribbons. It is just pre-scored card-stock.

It seems most people make them per copule, but I'd make a little more than that for the dorky people like me & my FH who both take one.

At this point, I think we should just be happy to HAVE programs!!! Cardstock sounds just LOVELY right now and I'm sure yours are very elegant!

for 100 guests, ill probably make 100.

i dont know if i would do the same if i was ordering them though!
