I am looking to send out hotel info with the thank yous from the e-party and the save the dates. A lot of them won't give pricing yet. Its april 2011. Anyone else having this problem?
I won't be able to block our rooms until 50 weeks before the date, which works out nicely because that's the last week in May and I wasn't planning on sending out my STDs until end of May/early June. I already have the hotel info cards made to send with my STDs so I'm just waiting until they are officially blocked before sending them out.
We've had no problems getting quotes, and some have told us to book now to lock in the price that they're currently offering.

By next month you should be able to get pricing , its usually a full year you have to wait. I may send mine with the save the dates just to out of towners.
The Marriott told me the same thing (can only give rates 11 months in advance), however Hilton is able to give you pricing earlier.

We haven't booked yet, but we're deciding between the 'stagger inn' (next to CB) and the Inn at Fox Hollow. Hopefully I can take care of booking tomorrow.

They gave you quotes?
Try as much as you can to get them to give out early pricing. We booked our blocks 15 months out, and were able to get a great deal because they had 100% availability. Our rooms ended up being $40 cheaper because we booked them so early.
They couldn't give me them either!!
I didn't have a problem getting quotes from a bunch of hotels, and I ultimately blocked off my rooms last month. However, the hotels I was looking into were around the Ronkonkoma/Hauppauge area.
we just signed our contract today, and they had no issues giving me pricing for April 2011. They even offered free shuttle service with a total of 8 trips (4 to the reception and 4 from the reception), and the bridal suite for half the price.
