How many wedding invitations do I need?

Situation
Mary and John wanted to invite 200 guests to their wedding. They needed to know how many wedding invitations to order.

Solution
SO…
Think about the different groups of people that are invited to the event:
-Families: one invitation for the entire family, could be 3 or 4 people
-Couples: one invitation, usually 2 people
-Singles: one invitation, but could also include a guest

The formula for calculating the number of invitations is half the number of total guests plus 25; the number of invitation to order is 125. This is a “rule of thumb” not an absolute number. Always count before you order invitations. Also, it is important to have extra invitations for many reasons. There can always be additional guests that were left off the initial list. Invites can come back to you with inaccurate addresses or from friends that have moved and left no forwarding address. Always cover your bases.
