IMO I think the slipper basket is not a must have....guests can just kick off their shoes...i say spend your money else where...but just my opinion

IMO I would go somewhere you can get them cheaper per pair, only because you may end up paying too much, we're going to one of two places, chinatown, or a place in astoria called My Sister USA, you can google them, theyre on steinway street and my friend got hers there for $0.75 per pair, major savings!!!!!

I say if you want it go for it...but I guess I am just a selfish biotch and am not thinking of or care to think of my guests feet...LOL

No, but if you want it go for it...seems like a good price and it is a nice touch...you are just more thoughtful than i am

It's def a cute idea. If it's in your budget, go for it! But IMO it's not a must have.

I did old navy, sounds good to me. Sometimes you end up spending more money going all over creation looking for something cheaper. I happened to be in the city and did not find any flip-flops on canal street (im not a good finder though), I would have been mad if I wasted my time/money on a special trip. Thats prolly enough, you have to figure not every women needs one, put it by the DJ so the dancers get it and not the old people who sit! I got 85 and I am inviting about 350 people.

Haha, I have a big family who I am
actually close with and my FH has too many damn friends (He will be IN his 10th wedding in May). At least it is all people we like, there really isnt anyone on our list who we are inviting just bc we have to. I do have the more the merrier approach too, short of hanging flyers on telephone poles lol.

WOW! 10th wedding! that's insane! I've never been in a wedding yet... and i really have only been to a few weddings.... and definately not in a long long time. we are actually the first of our close friends to be getting married... and the way it looks... we will be the only ones married for quite some time before the rest get to that point.
It's sweet that you have a big family you are close with and awesome to have all those friends! I'm always a big party girl... so I like more people. We have 240 on our list... but most likely expecting about 200.
ha ha.. dont forget about hanging flyers in laundromatts too! ha ha ha.... that might be more of a city thing though. Sounds like you really will have one big happy loving party! Best of luck with everything!
