Generally you'll want no more than 3 denoms in play at any one time.  So when you no longer need the $25's you'd take tham out of play and color up.  $2500 might be too big depending on how many $500 chips you start out with so a $2K chip might be better.  Unless you play with an ante or have odd blinds, you likely won't need the $25's for more than 2 blind levels (25/50 and 50/100).

With your current chip breakdown and number of players (I assumed 8 players) I would say starting stacks of $5K:

12 * $25 = $300 (96 of 100 chips used)
12 * $100 = $1200 (96 of 100 chips used)
7 * $500 = $3500 (56 of 100 chips used)

Blinds:

25/25
25/50
50/100
- Color up $25 chip
100/200
200/400
- Color up $100 chip
500/1000
1000/2000
2000/4000
-Tournament likely ends at the 2K/4K level
3000/6000
4000/8000

Using the above starting stacks and blinds with 8 people and 20 minute blind levels your tourney should end in about 2 to 2.5 hours.

If you want it to go slightly faster you could remove the 25/25 level as some people don't like it.  IMO though a 25/25 level is a nice slow way to start so people can stick around for at least a couple of blind levels.
