1 per person is the norm from what I understand. You'll always end up with some leftover but you can't guarantee that each couple is going to know that they can only take one program if you do a 1:2 ratio - does that make sense?
Yes, definitely 1 per person! It's always best to have a bit more than you need than not enough.
I'm going to disagree. There are always left overs. We'll do about 75% but not 1 pereprson. Some people skip the ceremony, men don't often take programs either.
I'm also going to say to do less than one per person. From what I gather from other brides and weddings I've been to, there are always leftovers. I'm going to have 75-90 for our 130-140 person wedding.
We had 100 guests, and I made a program for everyone. We had about 25 or 30 left over. Are you planning elaborate (in time and/or materials) programs? If so, I think you'd be safe making about 20% less than your number of guests. If they're easy and inexpensive, I'd go ahead and make one for everyone, just in case.
We will end up with about 130 guests most likely. I have made 120 programs, since we have kids in the mix and the wedding party wont be using them
We're doing one per *invitation*, not one per person. At four pages long, it just wasn't feasible to do more than that.
Whoa, I asked four different married colleagues, who all said to go WAY WAY less than 1/person. 3 of the 4 of them said they had more than half of theirs leftover, the 4th said about 1/3...So I'm doing about 100 for a 175 person wedding, I don't think there's any need to make 1/person!
I agree with Trailmix and Spaniel - I'm planning on making enough for about 75% of the people attending. That's slightly more than 1/invite, but definitely less than 1/person. So I guess that would be about 120 programs if 160 people attend. In fact, I may only make 100. Why waste time/money/resources making too many programs! If you have ushers, you can make sure only 1 program is handed out per couple, and that will guarantee everyone gets one.
I agree - no need to make 1 per guest. We had 165 guests and I made 120. I would guess that we had about 40 left over. (Such a shame - they took so long to make)

What do most people do for programs for the ceremony? 1 per family? 1 per person? 1:2 ratio?
