- Weddings are a big occasion not only
for the bride and groom, but for their
friends and families as well. It is a
great chance for people who don't see
each other as often as they would like
to reconnect.
Of course, the ceremony is the main
focus, and the reason that everyone is
gathered. But for out of town guests,
spending time together at their hotel is
another opportunity to visit and catch
up.
Include hotel information along with the
wedding invitation so it's easy for
out-of-towners to find a place to stay.
It's also a great way to let those
attending the wedding know where other
guests will be staying. Many hotels will
give large groups a discount on rooms,
so brides and grooms can ensure that
their guests get the best rate as well.
Out of town guests will appreciate hotel
recommendations that keep their needs in
mind.
* The hotel should be located near the
site of the wedding or the reception.
This means once guests are at the hotel,
they should have an easy time finding
their way to the big event.
* Keep guests' finances in mind. It is a
gesture of fondness for guests to travel
to the wedding, but it can get
expensive. Transportation, hotel and
dining expenses add up quickly. And then
there's the wedding gift. Choose a hotel
that offers much-appreciated
complimentary amenities, such as a
complimentary hot breakfast and free
Internet access.
* Give guests a place to unwind.
Visiting is great, but when large groups
are involved, sometimes people need some
time to themselves. A quiet hotel room
to go back to is a great refuge from all
the wedding activities. AmericInn makes
a quiet hotel its priority; its
SoundGuard construction system reduces
sounds and vibrations so guests are
assured of a quiet, restful night.
* Make sure the kids are entertained.
Look for a hotel that has a pool for the
kids. They can swim while the adults
mingle. Adults will enjoy a fitness
area, whirlpool and sauna.
With over 210 hotels in 23 states,
AmericInn hotels are conveniently
located across the country. For more
