Ordering extra save the dates

Autumn, on January 15, 2017 at 3:23 PM Posted in Planning 0 25

I'm hoping to order our save the dates tonight, but I have no idea how many extra to order. I did a google search and I've really found varied answers. How many extra did you guys order and did you use them all/need more? We're needing roughly 95 save the dates total.

    I'd order at least 10 to 20 more. We had a few flubs, a few people not get theirs that we had to resend and a couple for us.

    ETA: holy crap that was unintelligible. Sorry guys!

    I mistakenly ordered them for every guest, not household. So I have a ton extra and haven't needed any of them. Smiley sad

    Beach, I did that when I was calculating how much it would cost and I panicked because it would have been out of budget! Thankfully I caught it!

    Thanks houligan, that's kind of what i was thinking!

    FH would love you guys. He's from San Antonio ( we will probably move there in the next few years) and loves all things Texas!

    I needed 50-ish & ordered the next quantity up, 75. I paid for 75 and was sent 100! I have soooo many extras so I framed one for us and my FMIL. But what to do with all the others?! Such a shame just trashing them.

    We sent out 53 and ordered 65. I was going to order 60 but the options were 55 or 65.

    I think it depends on how final your guest list is and how many you want for keepsakes...We realistically knew we didn't need many extras at all but wanted a few Incase we decided to add someone or forgot some addresses in our guest list for minted (which we did and then I had to handwrite them in my miserable handwriting)

    We ordered about 15 extra and didn't really use them. However, I've had more problems with the postal service than ever, like at least 4 STDs getting mailed back even though they were addressed correctly. So I'd suggest extra envelopes!

    @jamie i'm a huge worrier so I ended up ordering like 20 extra STDS just now, and then the extra 25 envelopes for $10! Smiley xd

    I have a feeling i'm going to regret it, but it was only like a $15 difference, so I decided that $15 was worth the peace of mind for me
