    My gust list is at 170 - how many programs should I make? I've done 100 so far.

    Thanks!

    I think it depends on how you want to distribute them and how many people you expect.  We put them on the chairs under River Stones so we needed enough for all the guests.   I had an Etsy vendor make mine so I over ordered because I wasn't yet sure of the final guest count! I have heard if you put them in baskets 2/3 of your guests will take one...???

    I had 50 guests and ended up with about 30 programs left-over!  I made enough for everyone.  I don't understand if people returned them after the ceremony or just didn't take them.  It was strange.

    We ordered 125 for close to 150 guests (I wanted to order fewer, but MIL thought 125 would be better) and have about 30 left over.  I would go with maybe 2/3 of your guests taking them.

    I went with 1 per *family* and still had lots left over, so you probably have enough already.

    I'm with MsPopcorn, we did one per couple/family and still had quite a few left over.  If you're worried and have enough supplies, maybe make 10-15 extras for peace of mind, but you should be fine with the amount you have!  Good luck!

    Stop making them! I had 186 guests and have way over a 100 left over! I seriously don't know how that works, but some people don't come to the ceremony and other sneak in a the last second and so never see the program.
