I'm so pleased our Priest is happy with my first draft of the OOS so I think we're ready to print.
Need approx. 60-70 printed up.
I've looked at v!st@pr!nt where we got the invitations printed but not sure they can really print up anything like a little booklet.
Can you recommend anywhere for me to try please? Where did you get yours printed up? Where did you go for yours?
Thank you xx

we are going to print our own... Doing the order fo service for my dad's funneral has been a nightmare but I have managed to do the 200 needed and in a silly way it means the wedding ones will be so easy....I have a template to work from for page ordering. Any need one let me know and I am happy to help x
CommentAuthorInDreamland
Thanks ladies. I'll speak to my dad, see if he can help make them, he's pretty good at doing that and we did make the OOS for my uncle's funeral a few years ago so we have done it before and know what to do.
If not I'll look into local printers, trying to save some cash x

Hiya Just wondering, we will have 100 adults approx. including H2B and I. Do we need to get 100 printed or less? Do people tend to share? Or do people want to have one to themselves generally? When I go to mass I don't share the mass book and when I've been to Church weddings I've had my own copy of the OOS but not sure if actually most people in couples share?

CommentAuthorLittle Kettle
I've usually shared. The only time I didn't was when hubby was best man and I was sat on me todd LOL! Are most people you're inviting coming as a pair or are there quite a lot that are coming on their own?

CommentAuthorLauraJo87
We've always had our own, but then again have only been to a couple of weddings where they've had them.
I wouldn't be too fussed if we only had one to share, however it might be a bit of hassle ensuring that whoever gives hem out only gives one to each couple - which might be difficult if they don't know who the couples are, particularly if guests are mingling. Then you may end up with some couples having none and some having one each.

Hmmm, most are couples attending with only a handful coming alone. Maybe i should just get 100 printed and fork out for them. I fear it'll be expensive as in £100 plus! Oh well, I've sent off for some quotes, let's see what the two companies come back with x

How about doing 2/3 or 3/4, so like 66 or 75? Would that be a good compromise?

I agree, since some people don't used them printing a smaller amount might be a wise and money saving move. Or ask the printer to print a smaller number and ask if there is a discount for printing more.
CommentAuthorInDreamland
I was considering getting 80 printed up but worried that some couples will be without one as I think family and h2b and I will want our own copies.

I have this dilema, driving me maaaad! im thinking of giving them a bash my self.
We have 4 little children attending so 71 adults... i was thinking of printing 50 OOS, some people can share, some can have there own so there should be enough, i say print off just over half of the people attending.

CommentAuthorKatherineR45
we're going to print really plain ones and then stick some embelishments on them, that was our vicars suggestion as he said there was no point spending loads on them as the majority get left behind and thrown away x
CommentAuthorInDreamland
That's why I don't want to spend much on them but even if I only print 70 it's a lot to print and make up myself, a lot of printer ink and very time consuming. I'm not getting anything fancy, just printed into A5 booklets and stapled.

I feel thensame MrsLowe2b, I just want things ticked off the list now. Got a quote for 100 at £92. 80 would cost us £81.60 and 70 would be £73.90. Formall the time and effort it would save plus paper, ink and stress if the printer plays up I think it's worth it, just need to decide whether to go for the 100 or save a few quid and get just 70 or 80 printed up and some people will have to share.
I've never had an OOS at a civil ceremony, only chuerch ceremonies bobsi so you'll probably be ok not to bother xx

I'd say for the difference of £20, then I'd probably play it safe and go for the higher number. You could even keep a handful back in case the parents wanted 'clean' copies for their keepsakes x

Bobsi - I was at a civil ceremony with an OOS and all I could think was why did they bother? It really wasn't necessary.
CommentAuthorInDreamland
Lol, I think you only need them if guests need words to respond a lot during the ceremony and lyrics to sing along xx
