I am making a bar mitzvah and I am now ordering benchers for the seudah. I am having a hard time deciding how many to order. People have told me now to order too much because people do not take anymore. Any suggestions of how to determine how many to order?

If people don't appreciate it, why order? Hardly any people wash anymore, at the simchas I've attended. Just for curiousity, how many of imamothers wash at a Simcha?

If really people don't take anymore, order just a few for you to keep and give to close family

Once our bentcher storage space became stuffed, we stopped taking more than one per family at simchas. But, you still need to bentch, and for our upcoming simcha we ordered one per person. We do expect to have extras, and if so will see if the school/shul wants them.

4 or 5 per table- that's what we did for our wedding and we still had left over.

It's a seudas mitzva - why don't people wash?

My rule for chasunas which has pretty much worked is: number of people expected divided by 2 plus 50 (for wedding of over 350 people) or plus 25 for smaller group.

I was told: Number of pple divided by 2. Why plus 50 or plus 25 for a smaller group?

We printed mincha/maarivs which cost more b ut we knew that people would want them because it's a choshuv thing.

We are advised to have a little more than half and the "little more" is proportionate to the number expected.
