How many extra wedding favors...

So I am in process of purchasing our frame favors and am wondering how many ' extras' everyone is purchasing. As of right now we have about 140 invited (apprx 70 invites most couples)
FH says we should def get extras for some ppl who cannot attend or if someone sends a gift anyway...

Trying to get this done ASAP so we can have them wrapped by next week...

So much to do SO LITTLE time left...

Re: How many extra wedding favors...

I wasn't planning on getting any extras. In my experience, there are usually some left over (People forget them/leave them).

I would order 70 if you're sending out 70 invites, just to be safe...you can always keep the extras. If you expect a lot of No's and no gifts sent anyway then shoot for 65.

my favors were also my placecards so I had to have enough otherwise the whole placecard table would look bad. I ordered 5 extra and that turned out to be more than enough, since families with kids who were sitting at the same table got just one placecard/favor between them.

we send out 160 invitations and i orderd 180 favors just in case some couples end up taking 2!

but ours our wine bottles form croatia so i do not ming having extra. if it were something else i probably would have ordered 150

Re: How many extra wedding favors...

I don't want to wait to get the favors until I get the RSVPs I'm guessing I'll get favors for everyone that I invite, either per couple or per person depending on what type of favor I get.
