3. How many invites should we order?
- When deciding on how many invitations you need, don’t forget you only need one invite per couple/family. Half your guest count number and add 15/20 invitations for safety. (Eg. For approx 200 guests we would recommend 115/120 invites. This is assuming half of the guest list will be mostly couples(or single guests with plus ones) and a few extra to cover yourself from any overlooked guests missed, mistakes and other unforeseen circumstances.)
