Room Block HELP

[elleinad16]

Hello everyone!

So I got the email about the dreaded room block!

We have over 100 guests we're inviting, but have estimated a little over half will show up. Most are traveling as a family and turning our wedding into a vacation. Most likely will stay at least 2-3 days...

However, going over the estimate of DF's guest list and my own, I don't think 25 room nights is enough.

After a lot of math and thinking, we're now thinking that 40 room nights is safer (with the 20% cushion that gives us 48 room nights)...

I mean, us and his parents and my parents are staying the whole week, so that's already a good chunk right there....

Does anyone think this is sufficient? Or am I over estimating too much?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know too much about the room block as we are doing an escape. But I'm sure I read recently that they are now allowing you to reduce the room block up to around 90 days before the wedding. In that case I shouldn't imagine there would be a problem with starting off by overestimating and then adjusting once you have a better idea of numbers.

I'm sure someone who knows more about it will come along soon though!

Yes, I wouldn't worry about this. Block as many as you think you'll need now and then adjust it as you need to when people start making their reservations.

Awesome!
Thank you both so much!
