Invitations - I'm an idiot

I thought I was pretty organised, and was getting stuff done off the to do list. We are getting married in May, and have had the guest lists for months, there are 2 categories on the lists, those who need invitations and those who will come. I guess I was focussing on the 'those who will come' count and ordered 25 too few invitations

Oh well - lesson to be learnt, and shared - Ladies : count better than I did

We have plenty of time to re-order, and I am not worried about that - I'm just sharing a lesson

Re: Invitations - I'm an idiot

It is always wise to order more than you need, b/c invites can get lost, they can get damaged and returned. Don't forget extra envelopes too.

Re: Invitations - I'm an idiot

When my father remarried over 20 years ago, he and my stepmother invited 150 people and ordered 150 invitations! My dad feels that you should order a couple more invitations that you need, but he forgot that a married couple will only need one invitation!
