• Hotels

  The good news is that the invitations are all ready to go and the only thing left before sending them is to include hotel information and a map of where it is along with the ceremony/reception location. I called up quite a few hotels inquiring about blocking sleeping rooms and most of them make you sign a contract making us responsible for filling 80% of the rooms or we pay for the unaccounted rooms. This freaks me out a little bit since I'm not even sure all of our out of town guests will stay in the hotel that we pick. What is the general rule as far as how many rooms you should block off?

  I tried picking a location where it's easily accessible for public transportation and I've been trying to keep it near the theater district or hearld square. The theater district for most of my guests since they are musicians and hearld square since Koreatown is there, along with the world's largest Macy's. I haven't had any luck as far as figuring out how to go about finding hotels but all I can really do is call right?

  I'd love to hear about how you ladies are going about finding a hotel for your guests. Will you have transportation to and from the wedding for your guests? We're thinking about renting a shuttle bus so that it's easy for our non-New York City guests and ensure they will be on time for our wedding.

  The best part about the hotel planning is that I'm bonding with my father in law who is staying with us (along with my mother in law) for about a month. He's so excited to help and has great insight to these aspects of the wedding that I have no idea about!

  This is totally off topic but who is excited about the weddingbee gathering in Feb?

  I AM!
