How far in advantace do you have to book a hotel for the out of town guests? Probably about 10- 15 rooms.
thanks

Doesn't have to be too far in advance (say a few months) if your wedding is not on a holiday weekend or during some major sporting event (US Open, etc).

We did ours about 8 mos in advance.

I'm more anal....I did mine last month for an Oct '05 wedding. I should say however, that it was convenient to do it then b/c FIL's were in the area for the day, and since most of the OOT guests are from their side, they wanted to get it done.

We did ours ~1 year ahead just to make sure. We are a NJ/NY couple and a little under half the people will most likely be staying.

we did it about a year in advance so that we could send the information for the hotel with the STD's

We booked our already for next July. We figured because it is summer we would do it as soon as possible.

In theorym the earlier the better, BUT keep an eye out for price drops and such. Occassionally, with a very expensive hotel, if there is a special price, even if you had booked a room, they will honor it. FI's friend got married and we stayed overnight at the Plaza and this is what happened -- we saw a lower price listed and they honored it.
