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.

I never thought of this - but it sounds really cute.

I guess if you only put 30 out though - would that be enough?

and how do you present them... in one basket in the bathroom?

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????

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

Yes, I assume they will be stolen otherwise.

I'm doing this also....love the idea. I'm going to decorate a basket and put it in the ladies room. I'm thinking about doing 40 pairs....do you think thats enough?

P.S. My sis is getting them for me from a place in Queens, $2 per pair I believe. Pretty good, right?

I am going to get organza bags from ebay. They are so cheap. I saw 50 for $7.00 or so. Ebay also for the ribbon. I am only have 80 guests so I figured 30 would be good. Not everyone is going to take one either. I am putting all in one big basket in the bathroom. Trying to think of something cute to put on the front of the basket. Say something about your comfort...compliments of the Bride and Groom.

Deb I am doing plain slipper and wrapping them with ribbon with a monogram on our tag.

Maybee that is an idea for you.

Bridget

That is a very cool idea. I found this website that does custom printed ribbon and I am making favor tags likely through www.psaessentials.com
