Ordering Napkins?

Did any of you order napkins? How many guests did you have and how many napkins did you order?
TIA

I ordered cocktail napkins and hand towels for the bathroom from ForYourParty.com. I had 200 guests and I ordered 400 cocktail napkins and 300 hand towels. I didn't have any left over so I probably could have done 100 more of each.

I ordered napkins for the cocktail hour and ordered 10 per person.. that's the number my RH suggested.

WOW that many???? I was going to get 100 or so, just for the bar .... maybe I will get 300 or so.

10 per person would be 1300 napkins if I have 130 guests! That's an INSANE amount I think.

The norm is 3-5 pp for cocktail napkins and 4-5 for dinner

I don't know I know it sounds like alot but that's what I was told. I'm using them just for the cocktail hour and if you have past hors d'oeuvres let's say, people will take one each time they grab something. I ordered 3000

Can you cut back on the order?? Or do you have them already?
