We knew that creating our invitations ourselves would be difficult. I don't think we were prepared for the amount of work that went into their creation, but we're both glad that we did it (and even more glad that we're almost finished). Making them ourselves saved us a lot of money, and it allowed us to personalize our wedding.
One remaining invitation task is related to hotels. We will include hotel cards in our invitations, as many guests are from out of town and might want to stay over before or after the wedding. I've started calling hotels to arrange for room blocks, and luckily, most have plenty of rooms available. Unfortunately, a lot of hotels require 2-night minimum stays if you're staying over on Saturday--kind of inconvenient, although some hotels can be flexible with this policy, and there are hotels that are a bit further away that offer more lenient booking policies.
We've selected two hotels in different price ranges at which to do room blocks, and we're also offering two additional suggestions. Of course, there are *tons* of hotels and B&Bs nearby, and we want our guests to feel free to book wherever they want as they might have a preferred location.
Assuming we can get the hotels wrapped up this week (and then create the hotel cards), we'll be good to go for sending the invites out this weekend. Woo hoo! Can't wait to check that one off the list.
