Chinese slippers

Where is everyone getting them from and how much per pair? How did you decide how many of what sizes to get? Thanks

Re: Chinese slippers

I got mine in Chinatown for $1.50 per pair, and got 75 pairs. We're having around 300 people at our wedding and I know not everyone will want one (especially my older Aunts/cousins... not their style).

I got assorted sizes 6-10 and got half in black and half in dark red. I assumed most people are sizes 7 and 8 so got mostly those.

I am placing them in baskets labeled Small, Medium and Large since they aren't always true to size.

Re: Chinese slippers

I think this idea is really fun and thoughtful but yhis may be a stupid question. Why are you buying all these slippers? Do most people want to change their shoes during the wedding? I know the bridal party usually does because it's an incredibly long day but do most guests want to as well?

Re: Chinese slippers

Brides do it for the fun factor. Some guests change their shoes and some just take the slippers home.

No need to take a trip all the way into China Town, there a plenty of store off Main St in Flushing that have cheap chinese slippes in all sizes. I forget the store I went to (to get a pair for myself) but I think it was 75 centers a pair or $1.
