Often times, a newlywed couple does not leave for the honeymoon trip until a day or two after the wedding. Many local hotel or bed and breakfasts offer special honeymoon packages that allow the couple to start the honeymoon before actually leaving town.
It is important to make sure that your out-of-town guests are comfortable and well taken care of. Most hotels offer free airport shuttle for your wedding or business guests.
Be sure to ask about discount rates for several guests reserving rooms at the same location. This doesn?t just save money - it allows guests to get acquainted and simplifies transportation arrangements. But make sure you?ve got firm commitments before making final reservations.
Guests will greatly appreciate a ?welcome basket? in the mail prior to the celebration, complete with an itinerary, city map and perhaps a few lists on special restaurants in the area, entertainment, and suggestions for sightseeing in the area.
To help wedding attendants keep on top of the details their positions involve, you might want to present each of them with a planning calendar.
Some hotels and motels offer special services for your guests, like providing transportation to and from your event. Ask what kinds of amenities are provided. The basic complimentary items include toiletries, writing supplies and fruit baskets. Some hotels provide in-house dry cleaning or beauty salon services. Arranging for a newspaper to be delivered at the door each morning and other small niceties will make your guests feel special.
