How Many Wedding Stubby Holders Do You Need for Your Guest List?

Order one wedding stubby holder for each guest you plan to give one to (including confirmed plus-ones), then add a few extras for last-minute guests or keepsakes. To save money, order from Giftware Direct, where you can get factory-direct prices!

Once you’ve decided to get stubby holders for wedding favours, your next decision is how many you should actually order. You want enough for everyone without ending up with far more than you need. Use our tips so you can accurately estimate how many wedding stubby holders in Australia you’ll need for your big day.

Check your guest count

The number of people you invite and the number who actually attend can be quite different, so don’t base your order quantity on the number of invitations you send.

Wedding acceptance rates generally fall between 75% and 85%, although numbers can of course vary depending on factors such as the location and date.

If you need to order your wedding stubby holders in Australiabefore your RSVP deadline, you can use around 80% of your invited guest list as your starting estimate.

Already received all your RSVPs? Use the number of guests who have confirmed they’re coming. So if 150 guests have said yes, you can order 150 stubby holders plus a few extras for last-minute guests. Which brings us to the next reminder:

Always have extras

You may need a few extra stubby holders in case guests misplace theirs or ask for another during the reception, so it’s not advisable to order just one for each guest.

Consider adding around 10% to 15% to your confirmed guest count. So if you’re expecting 150 people, you could order somewhere between 165 and 173 stubby holders instead of exactly 150.

Here’s a quick guide:

Confirmed guests	Order with 10% extra	Order with 15% extra
50	55	58
75	83	87
100	110	115
125	138	144
150	165	173
200	220	230

Don’t forget plus-ones and older kids

Think about everyone at your reception who might use a stubby holder for a canned or bottled drink. That can include older children and teenagers having soft drinks or water.

If you’re planning a family-friendly wedding and expect several children aged 10 and over, you may want to include them in your total when ordering wedding stubby holders in Australia. You probably won’t need one for every younger child, so base the final number on your guest list and who is likely to use one.

Not quite sure how many you need? At Giftware Direct, you can discuss your plans with us and get advice on the safe buffer to add. We can supply wedding stubby holders in Australia no matter the size of your event, whether you need a modest batch or a much larger run. And regardless of your order size, you enjoy factory-direct prices.

Bulk order quantity	Price per stubby holder (AUD)	Total cost (AUD)
25	$9.95	$248.75
50	$6.95	$347.50
100	$5.95	$595.00
200	$4.95	$990.00

As you can see, ordering more can bring down the cost of each stubby holder quite a bit. At 25 pieces, you’re looking at $9.95 each, while an order of 200 brings that down to $4.95 each. That works out to roughly a 50% reduction in the price per holder.

So if you’re adding that extra 10% to 15% buffer, a larger order quantity could also help you keep the individual cost down.
