Because we are having a destination wedding and about 90% of our guests will be OOT, I'd like to get our save the dates out as soon as possible--preferably by 9 months out (mid-July).
This got me thinking that we will need our wedding site up before those go out, which of course means we will also need to have some information to put on the site!
My family has been paranoid about how much hotel rooms might cost in Napa, so I've been particularly anxious to at least get some hotel rates and blocks. I've managed to block a small group of rooms for a great rate at the local Travelodge. I'm not sure, though, if I need to figure out a 2nd hotel before the site goes up? Should we even consider blocking at a second hotel or just do more rooms at Travelodge? I feel like most guests would be concerned about getting an affordable room rather than a variety of options, so I don't know if it'd make sense for us to block somewhere else that might have more expensive rates?
Also, should we have a registry set up before the STDs go out? It seems kind of early to start that now, but I feel like people will probably expect to see info about that when they come to the site. When is the right time to start creating a registry?
