Do you think this is Ok?

Let your guests make their own arrangements. The block at your venue will be fine. Many guests have their own loyalties to hotels or they can find accommodations with online deals. You should not be on the hook for unused rooms.

Thank you! That's what I was thinking too!

The only reason we did a hotel block is because our entire guest list is from out of town. We only chose places that didn't charge us for unused rooms. I wouldn't contract somewhere that made you pay for unused rooms.

That sounds too risky. You already created one block, I wouldn't over book then be penalized for it in the end.

Right. The room block we have was complimentary too with booking the venue so we aren't responsible for paying for any unbooked rooms. They just release the room a month before the wedding which isn't a big deal I think.

Exactly. Most of my FH's family is from out of state, so I know the rooms we currently have will book eventually. I guess I will just see if I can expand the Friday room block at my venue. All they can do is say no lol.

Yeah I don't know that's what the manager told me in her email. I looked to see if maybe something was planned for our town during that weekend and I can't find anything either. My FH agrees we are just going to keep the one we currently have and if anyone wants to stay somewhere else that's on them to find it! Thank you!

No, you definitely don't need another block, especially if you're responsible for un-booked rooms.
