    We're having trouble wording the hotel block info on the invite.  I like phrasing that highlights that we've arranged something for their comfort as opposed to just listing 'hotel block' info in an inpersonal manner.  My FH thinks I'm nuts fretting over this detail, but for some reason it matters to me tonight!

    We also have limited space, so this is what we have so far:

    "ACCOMMODATIONS

    A WEDDING BLOCK HAS BEEN ARRANGED FOR THE SMITH/JONES WEDDING

    hotel name & contact info

    reserve by MM/DD/YY to receive special rate."

     Something about it sounds funny to me.  Will people know what "a wedding block" means?  Another option: "A LIMITED NUMBER OF ROOMS ARE BEING HELD AT A SPECIAL RATE FOR THE SMITH/JONES WEDDING."   Why does "ARE BEING HELD AT" sound odd to me?  

    The problem started because we originally had:

    "ACCOMMODATIONS

    THE FOLLOWING HOTEL ARRANGEMENT HAS BEEN MADE FOR YOUR STAY IN THE BAY AREA

    Hotel contact info

    A limited number of rooms are being held under a special rate..."  But we needed to save some space so I took the last sentence out and tried to combine it with the line under accommodations.  I am driving myself crazy for no reason, arent I???!!!!

    My insert was actually just a "Please view our website for more information... www.ourwedding.com" kind of thing. On the website is where they can get the info... no annoying wording needed!

    Ours say "We have set aside a block of rooms at a nearby hotel.  Please ask for the xxx-xxxx Wedding Block and book by April 29th to ensure that you will get the discounted rate."

    And then the name of the hotel, address, phone number, and website below.

    Oh, and it's on a separate card that we sent with the invitation and it also includes directions and fun things to do if you want to stay for the weekend (like our favorite restaurants, a brewery tour, the Milwaukee Brewers game, etc.)

    We included our Accomodations info on the STDs:

    Accomodations

    For your convenience, we have blocked rooms at XXX Hotel.  Reserve your room by Month 22 and mention the Bride/Groom Wedding to receive the group rate of $100.  Call (888) 123-4567.  Please make your reservation at your earliest convenience to ensure room availability.

     

    We wanted people to book early because our wedding is during leaf/apple picking season in New England so we wanted a chance to add rooms to the block if it sold out.
