Programs

I purchased the tri-fold paper for my Programs. I pick up two packs of 50. I wasn't sure how many I would need. My sis thinks I totally bought to many. I am having ~130 guest, so how many programs do you think I would need for the church? HELP

Re: Programs

100 isn't too many.
I'd probably get 3 packs if they weren't too expensive, b/c I'd rather have extras, but that's just me.

Re: Programs

130 guests should equal 130 programs buy 140-150 if you're self-printing for test runs and mistakes...that's what I'm doing good luck

Re: Programs

I bought 150 and we invited 300. I doubt many people will be coming to our Friday wedding that is why. I would buy one more packet just in case. I also, when I started making them I wasted so many on trials. Good Luck. FYI: they sell the tri-fold at Target and Staples.

Re: Programs

Don't forget that some people may come to the church who arent invited to the wedding! I would do 100.

Re: Programs

Well here is the thing, I guess I should have added this before:

The PROGRAMS are for the CHURCH only. It is a Friday afternoon 3:30 Mass. I have a feeling not that many people are going to come to the church. My head count is 130 total (that includes & guest), so I figured each couple would take ONE program per couple... hmmm... so maybe just keep the 100, since they didn't cost me so much. That way if I have extras, I have extras and some will go to waste on perfecting them. I am making them myself on the computer at www.uprint.com For the

that asked where I found the Tri-Fold paper, it was Target. You get 50 in a pack for $10. They are near the card section @ Target.

Thanks everyone

Re: Programs

It's optional. Not everyone does it. But when ever I have attened a wedding the Church is where we got the program. It is just a nice way to explain everyone's roll in the wedding and have them reconized.
