depending on your guests age also. I know that most women (espectially older) wear pantyhose which means flip flops will not work.
I went with the chinese slippers. You can get them for $18 a doz in the city and pick the colors you want.

Flip flops: I got mine from old navy when they were 99cents each. You can also go to the dollar tree....
The chinese slippers: Go to china town! If you are buying alot you can talk them into a cheap price.

I like Chinese Slippers bc I know a tons of people who hate flip-flops bc of that thong thing. I also think Chinese Slippers are little fancier. Def look online and in Chinatown.I have also seen tons of dollar stores that carry them.

I bought floral/Hawaiian themed flip flops from ebay. I got 72 pairs for under $100 (which includes shipping). There were a variety of colors and they were shipped to me right away. I would check it out. It you don't like prints, there are solids colors too.

I don't think they are necessary. All the girls I know who got them ended up wasting their money 'cause no one used them. If anything, get the just for the BP.

I did chinese slippers in two colors (black and dark red) for $1.50 each in Chinatown. No tax, no shipping. My wedding was in October so flip flop season was over then.

I went there yesterday also and I went with the flip flops at $12 a dozen...well actually was cheaper bc I needed 9 dozen adn she gave me them for $33 for each case (which had 3 dozen in them).
They were multi color and multi sized!
I thought I went in wanting the chinese slippers but ended up realizing that the flip flops woudl be a hell of a lot less and I needed to save a few $$$
I am really happy!!

I am doing chinese slippers.....
I went to a few 99 cent stores where they had them on sale for like $1.99.. I worked with the guy and paid like $1.08 for each pair....
I would definitely recommend doing that! Make sure you ask for a good deal... it's not ever day someone comes in looking to buy 75 pair of them!

I am doing all white Chinese slippers. The kind with the mesh and little flowers. I already use a NJ wholesaler for my store to buy Chinese slippers, so I used them (my boss rocks). I got 2 cases of them for $110, 96 pairs.

Personally, I would do chinese slippers over flip flops. I've only been to 1 wedding where they had a slipper basket. I don't think anyone used it during the wedding. Most of the girls were putting in their bag, and took it home as a favor.

I am not a fan of flip flops b/c they can be just as uncomfortable. I would go with the chinese slippers, they are comfortable and affordable.

This seems interesting...so you bought them for all of your female guests?
