just wondering...

for those of you blocking rooms in hotel with a shuttle and breakfast in the AM (a time slot of breakfast with you picking a specific time to meet your guests)...

1. are you including shuttle times with your invites? problem is, if i have more than a certain amount of hotel guests, i will have 2 diff shuttle times as oppose to one
2. are you including breakfast time slot on your invites (for ex: breakfast served between 8-10 we would love to meet you at 9) just the time you would like them to join or not including at all on your invites
3. are u asking guests to fill out a card if they are staying at hotel for oot bags?
4. are u asking guests if they are meeting you for breakfast so you know?

thanks so much!

We didn't put anything on the invites, we put it all on a welcome letter in the OOT bag:

Welcome and thanks for coming! We’re so happy that you could make it to our wedding.

We’ve put together this bag of treats for you to enjoy while spending time in your hotel room or driving about town.

A few important things to remember:

The ceremony begins at 3:00 pm on Saturday. The church is about ½ hour drive from the hotel. After the ceremony, feel free to return to your hotel room to freshen up or even rest. Then come down to Super’s Café in the lobby to join the parents of the bride and groom for snacks and refreshments.

The cocktail hour at the North Ritz Club will begin at 7:30 pm on Saturday. A shuttle service will be provided from the hotel to the venue beginning at 6:15 pm. Please arrive with enough time since several trips will be needed to take everyone staying here to the reception. We urge you to use the shuttle to be safe, and don’t drink and drive!!! In addition, the shuttle will offer return trips at the end of the evening beginning at 12:00 am.

Don’t want the party to end right away? No worries! We’ve arranged for the hotel to keep the bar open after hours so we can come back and wind down. The bar in Super’s Café will be open until 4:00 am. Come on down to spend some personal time with the bride and groom and their families. Cocktails and refreshments will be available at the bar if you choose.

Finally, we’d love to say goodbye to you on Sunday morning at brunch. Located downstairs in the Sag Harbor room, a complimentary brunch will be held from 10:00 am until 12:00 pm. So pack your belongings up, check out, and come join us for one last meal before you head home!

Whatever you choose to do while you’re here, we hope you have a great time, and we can’t wait to see you on Saturday!

Love,
Michael and Laura

The hotel gave us access to their website so I could keep track of how many rooms were booked and who was booking them.
