Re: how many to order?? favors..

i was thinking about it in terms of how many invites i got. i would likely give 1 per invite... so i'll probably order 100 i guess.... mine i dont think will be breakable

I think that is a good number, I am doing the same thing, ordering extra just in case

Are you doing per person or per couple? I am making one for each person at the wedding, plus about 10-15 extra

Hmmm maybe a little more? because dont you have to give favors for those who gave a gift but didn't come to the wedding?

1 per invite - no more. I might even make it less.

Not everyone you invite is going to show so that is your extras.

I honestly had four no shows at my wedding and four favors left over and at the end the night someone asked if they could take the extra's home as well and i said yes!

I was going to base this on how many invites I need then add like maybe 10 just to be safe.

sounds like a good rationale to me! (assuming your favors are one per invite!)

I would just go through your guestlist and see exactly how many you have to get

That's not unusual at all...my family has been doing that for decades! Plus, I plan to give a favor to my hairdresser (she's been doing my hair for a few years), my photographer, my videographer, and my surgeon (because without his amazing hands, I wouldn't be able to stand straight right now!).
