Ribbon Question

How long is 100 yards of ribbon?

I need to order a thing of ribbon. I need it for my ceremony programs (150 of them), menus (60), and CD favors (200 of them).

So, like how many spools of 100 yards do you think I need?

I went to AC Moores for my ribbon (.99 cents per roll!). I asked a lady in the ribbon department for help determining how much ribbon I needed for 250 programs. She was soooooooo helpful. She took a piece of paper, folded it in half, punched two holes in it and put the ribbon through. She determined I needed 15 inches of ribbon for each program and that I would need 200 yards which was 20 rolls of ribbon.

Not really sure if that helped or not!

It helps! Leese - you're getting a 100yd roll, so 2 will be good for the programs as above, but I would order extra b/c you just never know!

That really does help. I've had a hard time trying to find the right color ribbon, so I found one place on the Internet. Hoping to get a sample sent to me soon so I can order it. It 'looks' like the right color....but you never know!

Thanks!

how long is the ribbon going to be for each piece (programs, menus, cds)? Do have an estimate on that?

eta: posted before above. You can buy a 99cent spool of 100 yard ribbon, and see how far it would take you - before you order online.

there are 3 feet (36 inches) in a yard, so 100 yds is 300 feet, or 3600 inches.
