If you won't know the final count for your wedding until a few weeks before. I understand that you would order extra but what if you order WAY too many?

Re: How do you know how many favors to order?
I had the SAME dilemma! I took a really good guess...told the person who i ordered my fav from what should i do and she is holding extra on the side, in case i need it!

I ordered the same amount as the number of invitations that I ordered.

Re: How do you know how many favors to order?
Are you doing per person or couple? Ours was per invitation so we ordered one amount (125), then as we started to get a final number we ordered more. We also ordered extra to give to people that couldn't make the wedding but still gave gifts, neighbors that weren't invited but still gave gifts, etc.

a couple of venders said not to do this. Due to the war and the searches that police are conducting. A lot of orders are on delay! So to be sure that you have the right about you want, you should order sooner than later
This is just what i was told

Re: How do you know how many favors to order?
I made my own but I made the same amount as our hall maximum plus two extra (for me and FH!) We'll probably have quite a few left over but in case we think of people at the last minute to invite we know we'll definitely have enough!

Order per invitation that your are mailing out and then order a few more just in case of breakage or someone you didn't invited gave you a gift.

Thats what I'm doing to. I made my rsvp date about 7 weeks before the wedding. So hopefully the week after that I will them.
I think thats what i'm going to do considering I don't even know what favor yet!!!

Re: How do you know how many favors to order?
I couldn't really until all my rsvp's came in because I needed time for the favors to be ordered. I just took a good guess and how many people we anticipated and ordered 10 extra. Of course we still have left overs and we've been married almost a year now! My parents are going to italy this summer so I am sending some favors to family that sent us money...at least we'll get rid of some that way.

Re: How do you know how many favors to order?
We're doing on favor per couple and we're inviting 200 people, not all couples. We'll probably order somewhere between 125-140 favors.

This is what I was told too. At work we keep having problems with shipments being stuck in customs more so than ever with the increased security.
