When an engaged couple orders their wedding invitations the obvious and most important question is how many invitations should they buy. The answer might seem clear – order as many invitations as names on their guest list - but it is not quite as apparent as it seems. There are several factors that any couple considering ordering wedding invitations should think through:
- Printers often have a minimum order requirement or order in predetermined multiples of twenty five or fifty. Thus, a wedding party that is only planning on sending out eighty five wedding invitations might be required to order a hundred.
- Guest lists have a sneaky way of growing at the last minute and couples who discover that they have run out of invitations could find themselves in an embarrassing situation when they discover an important individual they accidently omitted when they created their guest list.
- Most wedding parties have someone they want to send an invitation to that they know will not be able to attend regardless of whether that individual is in the military and serving overseas or incapacitated by medical limitations.
- A couple that uses unusual invitations like the beach themed invitation in a bottle should plan to have a few extra's for keepsakes, not just for them, but for younger family members such as nephews and nieces.
Ultimately, it is better to have a few wedding invitations left over to keep for use in a scrapbook than to run out prematurely.
