How Many Wedding Invitations Do I Really Need to Order?

One of the first questions I ask a couple when they reach out to me to inquire about wedding invitations is: “How many households are you inviting?” This question trips up some people because so much of wedding planning and guest counts are based on individual head counts, but not wedding invitations. In this blog post, I’m going to go over how to determine how many households you have, who is considered to be part of a “household”, and how many extras you need (spoiler alert: you definitely want to order extras!). Make sure to read until the end to download the guest address template I send all my couples to keep track of guest count vs. household count!
