It totally depends on your list. If you have families, it will be less. If you have a lot of single people, it'll be more. You need to look at your list.

Re: If you are inviting 150 people to the wedding

I'm iniviting somewhere around 166 people, but there are only 86 actual households, plus i'm having separate invites to go out to people to just attend the ceremony only. So I ordered 125 to be on the safe side.

Re: If you are inviting 150 people to the wedding

I actually made up my list before ordering the invites. We invited 144, had 73 invitations, but ordered 100 for any errors or B list people we might have wanted to invite later. It is much cheaper to order an extra 25 in the initial order than to order an additional 25 later on (has to do with the fact that they have already set up the type, so they just run off extra as opposed to doing another entire order.)

i have 222 people invited and 108 invitations so i ordered 125. hope that helps. best thing for you to do is a get a invite list going for addresses and count how many households need an invitation. and always order extra envelopes.

Definately no less than 100. I may even do 125, just in case. Its much more costly to buy additional 25 invites later.

Re: If you are inviting 150 people to the wedding

i agree with most of everybody here... gonna need 75+ invites... as you invite a few single ppl and what not.
