How many extra invitations to order?

GrumpyCatRebecca, on March 3, 2016 at 10:39 PM Posted in Planning 0 21

I don't have to explain that invitations are kind of expensive....how many extras should I order for keepsakes and people we might have forgotten to put on the guest list? I was thinking about 10.....but I basically just pulled that number out of the air.

    I was just planning on rounding up to 60 from 52. But extra envelopes for mistakes! Is that too low?

    My mother decided to add more to the guest list AFTER I was done sending them out. Fortunately, Vista print is the bomb and I was able to order just 10 more invitations and they were here in 3 days.

    I had to order either 125 or 150. I went with 150 and I'm so glad I did. Our original invite count was 116. Mom and FH remembered people we needed to invite (but wouldn't come). We only have about 15 left now...

    I think I had 138 on my list, and I rounded up to 150.

    I think 10-15 extra is probably good.

    We ordered about 20 extra invites, but they were free so it was cool. They were having a special where if you ordered 75 invites you got 25 free! We needed about 80 so it worked out really perfectly.

    I ordered about 10 extra! Who knows if we will actually need them but I wanted to have a keepsake and I know my mom/grandmother will want an extra as well.

    Don't forget you don't need an invitation for every single person. You need one for every household.

    I ordered maybe 20 extra? My guest list still isn't complete (FML!!!) do to some FIL drama. I wanted to make sure I had enough if some things change between now and less then 4 months from now, things aren't looking good.

    I ordered 10 extra from Vistaprint because we were gluing things onto them so I wanted a buffer for mistakes. I also wanted an extra one as a keepsake. It ended up being more than enough.

    I ordered from vistaprint and wanted 120. They do orders of 100 and 150. Our household list is at 101. So I ordered 100 and the separately ordered 20 more.
