Take
a few minutes to think about those special people in your life
who will travel from far away to be with you on your wedding day.
You will want to make their stay an enjoyable as well as a memorable
experience.
Most
out-of-town guests would prefer not to impose on those involved
in the hectic wedding schedule. Make this easy for them by negotiating
a group rate with a local hotel. Most hotels give discounts for
groups of seven or more guest rooms. First, let the hotel know
approximately how many rooms your guests will need. Then, have
a relative or a member of the wedding party coordinate the individual
reservations. Many brides choose to send a letter to their out-of-town
guests with the hotel's special room rate and reservation number
so that each guest can arrange their own reservations. Please
be sure to inform your guests that they need to contact the hotel
at least two weeks prior to the wedding. By doing so, any rooms
that are not booked can be released and you will not be held accountable
for them.
Remember,
hotel accommodations are a special service you can provide your
out-of-town guests. While allowing your guests the privacy of
their own room, hotels also enable your out-of-town guests to
spend time together and to easily coordinate transportation to
your wedding and parties.
In
addition, the hotel concierge can arrange tours, shopping visits,
or most anything else your guests would enjoy. This service lets
your guests continue to enjoy their stay while you are off on
your honeymoon.
