How to word hotel options

Yasmine, on August 26, 2019 at 5:52 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4
Very minor question regarding the ‘details’ cards (with hotel info, etc.) And website.

FH and I have booked a hotel room for the night before and the night of the wedding. Unfortunately, our top 3 choices had a minimum of 10 rooms in order to do a hotel block and 2 would charge you extra if you didn’t meet the minimum (the other had a minimum that you had to hit before most guests would even be booking). This is understandable.

We have probably 13-14 couples/families coming from out of town. FH did not want to do a hotel block as most of his family members are not really in the position financially to afford the hotel, nor would they feel comfortable driving in our city downtown. I’ve lined up 3 hotels to give info on (varying locations and price points). Here’s my question- do I put on the info card that we did not do a hotel block? I don’t want people assuming they will be in adjacent or close rooms without requesting them. And also, do I mention which hotel we are staying at? I didn’t think anyone would need to know tbh since we are leaving for the honeymoon the morning after our wedding (no time for brunch, etc.) but a couple of people have asked.

    Could you just word it as Recommended Hotels (vs. saying hotel blocks are available at...)?

    "Nearby Accommodations" and list them. "The bride and groom will be staying at X."

    On your details card or website, I'd just say something like the following:

    "Accommodations

    We recommend staying at one of the following hotels:

    1. Hotel Name, Location, $X/night

    2. Hotel Name, Location, $X/night

    3. Hotel Name, Location, $X/night"

    And then don't include where you and your FH are staying. You can tell people if they ask, but I don't think you need to! Just keep everything simple and don't overthink it.

    Hey Jasmine!

    Great advice from the previous posters!

    Something as simple as “Recommended Hotels” would be good to include!

    As Christine mentioned, you don’t have to tell guests where you will be staying. If you would like to include it, go for it! Otherwise, I’m sure people will ask you directly if they’re wondering Smiley smile
