Thanks for starting this thread, as I see this is a problem and it has been bothering me for sometime. If you have made a simcha, you WILL be left with tons of bentchers. Most people do not want to take the bentchers home anymore. After making 2 bar mitzvahs, I had about 75 leftover from each party, (mind you we only ordered 100 per Bar Mitzvah. ) I am now left with 150 bentchers from our boys, not including the hundred accumulated through out the years, so it is probable, I have 300 hundred bentchers in my home. Of course, no one else wants them. My only recourse to dispose of them is to eventually give them to Genizah,I beg my family do not dare bring home any bentchers from any occasions they go to. I really think, that Gemachs are needed to prevent the needless amounts of Genizah, this is causing. I feel bad for those in the business, but sad to say, most of those bentchers will be put in Genizah.
