How many programs do you order?

brieliz, on August 30, 2016 at 9:28 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

Simple question! I'm definitely doing a program since it's a Catholic ceremony I'd like to have details for them to follow along. Many in the group are not Catholic. Do you order one per guest or can I order less? I feel like some don't take them so I don't want to over buy. I have 120 guest like right now with about 15 of those being in the actual wedding (bridal party, flower girl and parents) so they wouldn't get one.

    You can order less for sure. I have done mine yet but 75% max is what I was thinking.

    Maybe 100? Subtract children from that number if you're having children there.

    As a non-Catholic that has been in a Catholic wedding - please provide your bridal party with some sort of program - even if it's a print you you put on the pew for them to have when they get there. Being upfront without a clue of what's going on and what I should be doing, looking around trying to follow along is NOT how I want to spend the wedding of a good friend.

    @OGAshley - 75% sounds like a good number!

    @5star - no children at the wedding so all guests are adults

    @Linds - thanks =) I actually only have one person in the bridal party not Catholic because we remained close friends with all our high school friends and went to a Catholic school, so I'll definitely factor in a program for her =)

    I'd say 95-100, you don't want to be short, but I understand not wasting money too. It's likely that couples would share a program anyways. To cut costs try making and printing them yourselves.
