where are you doing the slippers from. Every place I have found that makes them wants a minimum order of 300+ pairs to customize. That is insane. I tried hotel suppliers who might have the kind you get at a hotel and they have huge minimum orders also.

Re: Girls doing slipper baskets for guests
why dont you split the cost with someone on here who was looking to get them as well.
I'm having a 'think out of the box' day
ETA - well not if you are customizing them - that is.

Deb - what do you mean 'customize?'
I was going to go to Pearl Market and get the $1 per pair slip on ones...

Well, we were going to continue our monogram theme on them but I guess that is the rate limiting aspect.

These are the ones bridget&jimmy and I split but we got lucky I guess - we only had to order a case of 108.
ETS: By the way, they are REALLY comfy

Re: Girls doing slipper baskets for guests
there is a seller on ebay selling waffle slipper for $2 a pair - for a lot of 25 for a total of $50
you could wrap each pair with a bow and your monogram as a tag

If anyone wants to split it 5 ways (4 people would end up with 29 pairs, one person would get 28) it would cost LESS THAN $25 each! (I think.. someone said they were $112 and change for the the case).
I don't want to put more than 30 pairs of slippers in a basket for the bathroom, so if anyone wants to split it 5 ways, I'm game! Just let me know.

Well from the people who supply Westin Hotels -- to customize, they want a gross of 1000-not gonna happen. I like this Chinese slipper idea -- how much are those -- those I could eve match to our color scheme -- gotta figure you can do chinese slippers in RED!

Re: Girls doing slipper baskets for guests
I have a silly question about slippers....how do you ensure OTHER guests from any OTHER weddings going on at the same time don't take them when they see them in the ladies' bathroom????

Re: Girls doing slipper baskets for guests
I bought 30 black Chinese slippers from the flea market in sizes 7-10. Going to put them in a black organza bag and wrap with red ribbon and attach a tag with the size. The Chinese slippers were 3 for 5. I think this is the cutest idea. I have never been to a wedding where this was done and I would love to be a guest and have a pair of slippers to put on.
Oh and Deb those white comfy slippers are awesome. I got a pair in New Orleans and I wear them all the time. Too bad you would have to order 1000 pairs.

Good point. I think it would only work if your reception location had only one affair at a time.

Re: Girls doing slipper baskets for guests
I love the slipper idea! and i love the personalization of the monogram...
i love monograms.. but like with so many other things (like those tht you can have engraved)... i dont know how i, as a guest, would feel about wearing someone else's monogram.. same thing like with decorative favors that have other peoples monograms.
i think the idea is cute, but i would want my Own monogram on them JMO.

Re: Girls doing slipper baskets for guests
I love this idea too! I love the hotel slippers, but I think people would stop dancing once they put them on. I think you're able to move better in the chinese slippers- and more people would keep dancing.
