Also make sure you get the tubes in a wide size so they aren't stretched when inflated inside the tire.
I have the bad habit of using the same 700X25 tubes for everything, and they work just fine in my touring bike with 35mm wheels. There is no difference in air loss, no difference in number of flats, and no real difference in feel. The key difference is it's a little finicky to install, and the spare tube is much, much smaller.
