Flip flops for guests

Sobia, on May 20, 2018 at 23:39 Posted in Wedding reception 0 12

Hey everyone!

I was at a wedding last week and the couple had baskets of flip flops for the girls, and boy did my feet love that idea!

I was thinking of doing the same but I wasn't sure how many of each size I should get. I think I have about 150 girls maybe even more. But does anyone have any suggestions as to what sizes I should be getting?

    If you ever make trips to the states Walmart sells them for .97 a pair. I cleaned them out......I think we are going to do 50 pairs as not everyone is going to wear them and if your like me I bring 2 pairs of shoes where ever I go so I wouldn't buy 150 pairs of flip flops. A lot of the sizes are 8 & 9 we bought. For instance I am a size 7 but to get the width I need a size 10. Not many people I know are a size 6. Not many girls I know either are a size 10 either. Standard I think is about an 8 these days.

    I've considered going to the dollar store over the next few months and getting a bunch of slippers and flip flops for the girls in just a variety of sizes

    Do you know when? Ive been thinking of this idea too but wasn't sure if it was in the budget. I'd hate to miss the sale.

    If you are buying a lot of flip flop at a shoe store (like Payless...they sometimes have inexpensive flip flops in the summertime), explain the reasoning and ask them which shoes they order the most sizes in/sell the most. I am sure they would be able to give you a ratio of the best sizes to buy for your area. :-)

    I once gave out flip flops at an event for work. Size 9-10 went first (although this event also included men so most of them were this size but women did take as well) then size 7-8 was next, with the majority being women taking this size, then the size 5-6. Based on this, I would suggest majority size 7/8 with an option of some smaller and some bigger.

    I think a standard size for women is 6-8! Maybe do 25 pairs each of 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8 and 8.5? I feel like 7 and 7.5 might be more popular than 6s.... plus a little bigger is better than smaller! Especially for a freebie pair of shoes!
