How Many Favors Do I Need for 100 Guests? A Simple Count Guide

This question comes up for weddings, memorials, reunions, and church events, and the math is simpler than it looks once you decide one thing: are you giving one per person, or one per family?

Per Person or Per Household

Per person suits wearable keepsakes like buttons, name pieces, and anything guests put on during the event. Per household suits keepsakes that live somewhere — a magnet that ends up on one refrigerator, or a coaster set.

For 100 invited guests, households usually work out to 55–70 depending on how many couples and families are on your list.

A Simple Formula

Start with your confirmed count, then adjust:

• One per person: confirmed guests + 5–10 percent.
• One per household: count invitations, not people, then add 5.
• Add your helpers — servers, ushers, musicians, volunteers, photographer.
• Add a small handful for the people who ask to take one to someone who couldn't come. At a memorial, this number is always higher than families expect.

Why Extra Matters More Than You Think

A reorder after the event means a new setup, a new run, and shipping time you no longer have. A few extras cost far less than a second small order, and leftover keepsakes get mailed to family later — they don't go to waste.

How a 3.5-inch photo magnet becomes part of the story

Our custom photo magnets are professionally produced as 3.5-inch round keepsakes. They are big enough to actually see the faces in the picture, but small enough to belong on the refrigerator, the filing cabinet at work, or the side of a metal lamp in grandma's bedroom.

You provide the photograph. We help you make sure the resolution, the crop, and the framing honor the moment. Most people send us a phone photo or a scan of an older print, and we walk them through the rest. The keepsake itself does the work after that — quietly, every day, for years.

Across the Yakima Valley

Families across the Yakima Valley have a way of holding tight to the photographs that matter. We hear it from grandparents in Union Gap, from young couples in Toppenish, and from churches and ministries gathering in Grandview. Wherever you live in the valley — from the orchard roads of Tieton to the riverfront in Prosser — a keepsake photo magnet can quietly carry your story from one chapter to the next.

How to start

Email tsocustomkeepsakes@gmail.com with a short note about the photograph you want to preserve and the moment behind it. We'll respond with simple next steps — how to send the image, a brief design questionnaire, and information about custom order options.

There is no shopping cart and no checkout. Every keepsake we make begins with a conversation, because every keepsake we make is built around a story.
