How soon to share hotel block link?

Bride2Be, on August 26, 2021 at 1:55 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 10
We plan on sending out save the dates in January after the holidays, and I was wondering if anyone shared the hotel booking link with their bridal party before then or just leave it on the website for them to book? What is the proper etiquette for this? Is it weird to send it super early? Our wedding is August 2022.

    I think if they know they'll need it and have already asked for it then you can definitely give it to them. I don't know that there really is proper etiquette on this.

    My maid of honor actually already asked for ours, but we don't have it yet to give her. Once we do I'll probably just send it to her and also put it on our website.

    We just had ours in our wedding website. So after save the dates went out, and guests had our website link, they could access the room block link was on our website.

    Put it on the website as soon as you get it and also list a cut off date.


    Not everyone will read the website because they are new in some social circles and hotel blocks are also not universally common in every circle so relay the info by word of mouth (text, call, email) as well to let them know that there is a block and what the coupon code is.

    I say the sooner the better, and make sure to both publish the information on your website for people to reference and spread the word yourselves. We had a room block set for AGES and still had a couple pissy guests because they waited until the very. last. minute. to book and by then the block was already full. The earlier people book and fill up the block, the more time you have to add more rooms to it. Our hotel's sales department became really hard to get in contact with because the hotel's so understaffed so they're working the front desk too.

    We had ours on our website, but I also texted a link to those who I knew were for sure going to stay in the hotel. (Parents, siblings, & bridal party)

    This is exactly what we did as well. I made sure that was updated on our wedding website before sending out save the dates.


    The hotel gave me little cards with the info, which I included in the invitations. So that way guests had it with the invitation suite if they never bothered to check the website.

    I think the sooner the better! That way they can reserve a room and make sure they have somewhere to stay. We are getting married next May and are in the process of sending an email to everyone giving them the information. Then they can see fit to use what they need.

    I'm sending ours to our immediate family and wedding party when I receive it. Then if I need to, I'll book an additional block before we send out save the dates and I'll put that on our website.

    This generally goes on the Details card with invitations and on your wedding website. I’d let people know through word of mouth if you know certain people will def be going and will need a room

    My bad, I overlooked the wedding party wording. I’d just text/call them and let them know where your block is
