Order too few and you're scrambling; order way too many and you've overspent. Here's a simple way to land on the right number.
Start with confirmed numbers
Use your RSVP or registration list, not your invite list. Work from people who've actually confirmed.
Add a buffer for spares
Add roughly 10 to 15 percent for walk-ins, helpers, and people who want a second shirt. Spares in the popular sizes are always useful.
Get the size spread right
If you can, collect sizes up front. If you can't, a typical adult spread leans towards medium and large, with a few small and extra-large. We can advise a sensible mix.
Round up to a price break
If you're close to the next price break (say 45 when 50 unlocks a better rate), rounding up often costs only a little more in total and less per shirt. See our pricing guide for how breaks work.
FAQs
What if I'm not sure of final numbers?
Order to your confirmed count plus a small buffer. It's easier to have a few spares than to run a small second order later.
Can I reorder more later?
Yes, though a second small run costs more per unit than adding to the first. Ordering a few spares up front is usually cheaper.
What's the minimum?
10 units per design.
