I really dont have any OOTers so I dont think I'm going to do anything. Maybe try word of mouth before actually booking rooms - see how many people are really interested.
i blocked 10 rooms and i tghink we might even need more then that. however, i am not responsible for anything costs if people dont book. the rooms will only be held until 1 month before the wedding date and then they are released for regular sale.
Certain places require you to be responsible for the rooms and others don't. I blocked rooms at a hotel where I had to be responsible if I blocked over 20 rooms. So I blocked 15.
we blocked 10 rooms the night before and the night of. It's a day wedding so some of the ppl coming from OOT may want to stay over the night before to already be in the area. We're going to have an afterparty at the hotel so we blocked rooms that night in case ppl want to stay. Our hotel's policy is that they will hold the rooms w/ no money up front. Any rooms that haven't been taken 30 days before the wedding they will open up and try to sell to anyone, not just ppl attending the wedding.
I think I am going to do what my sister did for her wedding> She included a list of hotels around her hall and left it up to the guest to do what they may want..Ofcourse she researched pricing first so make sure is wasnt crazy..It seemed to work out for her...we don't alot of OOTers
when i blocked the hotel, they said guests would have a discounted price available to them up until a month before the wedding, at which point they'd be released if they were still unfilled. i had no obligation at all.

you shouldn't be responsible for any rooms that are not booked. I know I am not. If the hotel says you will be, use another hotel.
I am using La Quinta and they do not hold you responsible for any of the rooms you block- Holiday Inn is the same way.

Im getting married at larkfiend too what hotel did you use
I made sure that the hotel we booked wouldn't hold us responsible for rooms that aren't booked. We blocked 20 rooms (I have A LOT of OOT guests) and they will be released to the general public 30 days before the wedding.
