For many
of your friends and family members, showing up for your nuptial celebration
will mean hopping on a plane or spending several hours in a car to share the
moment with you. These out-of-towners will go to a lot of effort and expense to
share in your momentous occasion, so it's up to you to not only make them feel
welcome, but also keep them informed and entertained.
Though
footing the bill for guests’ overnight accommodations isn't necessarily your
responsibility, if it’s in your budget certainly do. Otherwise, you and your
fiancé should offer suggestions for how to find hotels - and tips on how to
score good deals.
As the
capabilities of the Internet continue to expand, so do your options for
accommodating your out-of-town guests. Many Internet sites are now offering
brides their own personal wedding web site, where they can post pertinent
information for guests traveling from out of town to join them on their special
day.
Bridal
web sites can include an itinerary of the weekends festivities and relevant
information - nearby hotels, a roster of your favorite restaurants and shops,
and sightseeing maps. Leading up to the main event, you won't want to leave
out-of-town guests with nothing to do. If many guests are showing up a day or
two before the ceremony, bridal web sites allow you to suggest ways they can
stay amused while in town - - from historic landmarks and museums to movie
theatres and nightlife.
