Planning a wedding involves numerous details, from choosing the perfect venue to selecting the menu and decorations. A crucial aspect is determining the correct quantity of invitations to send: sending too many can result in budget waste, while sending too few can cause oversights and hurt feelings.
Here are some helpful tips for calculating the ideal quantity of invitations for your special day:
1. Create the guest list
Start by compiling a comprehensive list of guests you wish to invite to your wedding. This list should include family members, friends, colleagues, and all other individuals you want to share your special day with.
2. Determine the number of households
When calculating the number of invitations needed, consider that many guests will be part of the same family unit. Rather than sending separate invitations to each member of a family, you can send one invitation per household. Counting households instead of individuals helps avoid overestimating the number of invitations required
3. Consider the “plus-one”
Decide whether to extend the invitation to individual guests or only invite guests who are in committed relationships. Including “plus-ones” can significantly impact the total number of invitations needed, so make this decision early in the planning proc
4. Add a “buffer”
To accommodate any last-minute additions or changes to your guest list, consider ordering a small number of extra invitations. This buffer will come in handy if you need to send additional invitations or if any invitations get lost in the mail.
