Brides often feel that they have to have a full count before they begin the purchase process. This results in delays in getting the groundwork begun.
The following formula works:
(1)add up the total number of guests including each single person’s guest and divide this by 2 to give a total.
(2) dd a total of 25 extras for persons that each side of the family may have forgotten, and round it up by 25 as most suppliers insist on ordering in increments of 25.
Therefore, if your total number of persons is 286, the quantity will be 143, add 25 to this, which comes to 168, rounded up, the quantity will then be 175 on the order.
While proofs are being made on your order, you may INCREASE or DECREASE your count on the signoff. Your vendor adjusts the quantity on their supplier’s signoff forms, and then revises your purchase order. Additional costs for the actual invitations are involved. On rare occasions, a small charge is involved for the revisions. However, this is a minor fee compared to re-ordering wedding invitations. Set up charges for press time are incurred all over again as it is just like a new order for your vendor's supplier.
Often, one party is reluctant or does not take the time to do a full list. This can result in not ordering enough invitations. One bride sat down with her supplier and ordered 150 and order another 100 invitations at the signoff of her proofs.
Qantity should not get in the way of beginning wording, making a selection of several designs and getting a sense of getting a plan together for this item that is needed months in advance of the actual wedding. Judy Laughton Lilley
