hotel info for std

a few quick questions........ did u put hotel info with all of your std's, even those addressed to people who are not OOT guests?? what other information did you put in with the std's??? do i have to block out hotel rooms? i plan on sending them out a year in advance, isnt that a little early to block out rooms? how many choices of hotels did you give them?? i want to print the hotel information on a nice card type paper or something like that, where can i get it from?? thanks sooo much!!!! wow this is the first 'real' thing i am doing for the wedding (besides booking vendors and shelling out $$), its gonna be scary when it comes to the actual invitations hahahaaha!!!

I've been thinking about these too. I would definitely say to start looking into hotels to block rooms at....I don't think it's too early. This past weekend we went to look at hotels and picked one to block at and signed the contract today. So we officially have rooms blocked now, and my wedding isn't until Oct '05. The hotel won't take reservations more than a year in advance, but I was still able to do the block. I wanted to make sure I got as many rooms as I wanted. After Oct, my guests are more than welcome to start making reservations.
I'm still debating on sending out a std card...but if I don't do that, I will put the hotel info on a website and let my guests know about the site.

We set up our website before we sent out the STDs and listed the website on the card. All the hotel info was on there. I didn't want to clutter what should be a simple card with all that info.

we put the hotel info on all STD's...
we blocked off rooms at the closest hotel to the reception and secured a set rate...
we booked the rooms almost a yr in advance...

I am sending mine out sometime thnis week.... i blocked rooms at one hotel
we are staying there with the guests

I am sending out STD's to peopel i know have something else that day, forgetful people but mostly OOT's

it is not too early to block rooms
i am sending out hotel info to OOT BUT.... i am sending out hotel information again in the invitation

sometimes people like to make them early

most peopel send them out in STD's

I think 1 year is a little early, maybe 6-8 months. Here is what I did. I just printed them out on pretty paper from Michaels. Mine were more of a hotel info then an STD but...
