Hotel Blocks

Hi everyone!

Just curious the pros and cons of hotel blocks. Has anyone not booked a hotel block for their guests? I am just wondering because every hotel I have tried to book through for any wedding I have been invited to I have never been able to book with the special rate with the block code and I've ended up booking at full rate.

We are getting married in the Lakes Region so there are plenty of hotels in the area as well as Airbnbs and camping grounds which some of my family likes. And my fiancees extended family tends to like getting a compound or estate for these types of get togethers.

Because this is a touristy area I have considered sending out invitations earlier than I should- so people can make travel arrangements.

For our bridal party and immediate family we will be having lodging onsite. And I think most people will be within driving distance

Let me know thoughts!

Second guessing

Not sure if I’m loving or second guessing this dress that I purchased. I’m sure I’ll like it more once it’s properly fitted.

I didn’t have that special “moment” but I definitely felt most myself in this dress. I’m just happy my person chose me so that’s all that matters to me.

Anyone else feel this way and ultimately regretted the dress?

It’s just a dress? But is it just a dress? Idk I’m so conflicted.

In search of photographer but not for wedding shots

Hi Everyone!

I have this crazy idea for favors for my wedding. Instead of giving someone a piece of something that says our name and date on it we want to give back to our guests by providing a family or couples portrait with a thrifted frame. This way people can look at it and be like “oh yeah that was taken at so and so’s wedding”

This would require a photographer and someone who has printing capabilities on site. You do not need to edit these portraits, beauty in the rough is what we are looking for. We will be providing frames, vibes, scenery and set. As well as any reasonable accommodations requested.

I think I’m throwing this out here to 1- see if it is feasible. And 2- if anyone would be into it? And 3- how much you think this would run me?

Thanks!
