It may be that if you stay at the hotel she wants you to stay, she gets a discount on her room - but in the end it is your choice.
It's totally reasonable for you to pick the hotel of your choice. Sometimes they get a group discount for the hotel & that's why they'll suggest that particular hotel, but it's not necessary for you to stay there. Maybe she's mad because not enough people want to stay at the place she chose, so they won't honor the discounted rate anymore? I don't know, just a guess. So, if some people have already booked rooms with the discount they were offering, those people will have to pay more now because not enough guests are staying there to honor the discount. Did that make sense? I'm very tired & I feel like I'm rambling but you get the point. Other than that, I can't figure out why she would care where anybody stays as long as they show up.
The bride can get over it. Guests paying for their own accommodations are not obligated to stay in the hotel of the bride's choosing.
If she gives you attitude about it, just say, "Thanks for your concern, Susan, but this hotel will be a lot more comfortable for us and its definitely close enough to the wedding venue that we won't have any trouble getting there."
Then change the subject and consider the matter closed.
That's odd. Honestly, if she's not paying, why does she care. This is one of those things that not even worth fighting with someone about. Honestly, if it's really that big of a deal, make a reservation at the fancy hotel and then cancel it. You can cancel reservations up to 48-72 hours without getting charged. Then, go down the street to the less expensive place. By that point in time, she'll be freaking out over her dress or other last second things and she'll never realize you didn't stay at that other hotel. But, again, only do this if she's really, really picking a huge and unnecessary fight over it.
The only reason she might be upset is sometimes there is a discount for a block of rooms. If not everyone books at that hotel, that those that do (which may be her and/or her family) may end up paying a higher rate.
Or she may have had this "fantasy" of everyone staying at the same idea - thought that would be fun.
Or she may have had planned something special in regards to those that are staying at that hotel. (Gift basket, etc.)
Or she may have just been offended that her hotel wasn't "good enough" for you.
However, that is really her problem, not yours.
All she can do is suggest accommodations, she can't demand unless there is a specific reason - but she should have been more clear if that was the case.
I think if you have to pay then you should be able to stay anywhere you choose.
However from the brides point of view she needs her bridal party close as there is lots to do and her maid of honnor should be with her at all times. But friends and family who are not in the actual bridal party should be able to stay wherever they want specially if you have to pay.
Good luck hope the wedding day goes well.
Guests can stay wherever they want.
She may be mad be mad because she reserved a block of rooms at a certain hotel (as a courtesy). At some hotels, if rooms get filled, that you reserved, they'll give you a free bridal suite. She's probably mad that she's going to have to pay for it.
Too bad for her, it's your money, you stay where you want.
The bride sounds like a spoiled brat. She should be paying for out-of-town guests' rooms, anyway. That she is expecting you to pay for your own room is bad enough....then to dictate where you choose to stay on top of that is outrageous. If she is having a hissy fit about that I think I'd save her the grief and simply not attend the wedding. And I'd tell her why, too.
If the bride isn't paying, it's none of her business. Now, this is bridezilla at it's best, huh?
Ignore her. If you can't, then tell her you didn't realize she was paying for the rooms at the other hotel. When she says she isn't, then say, "Exactly! My money, my choice!"
And no smiles allowed for this gal!
I don't know why she's even worrying about this. She has sooooo many other things to be concerned about. Everyone should have the chance to stay where they want. They had to travel and stay in a hotel, essentially it's a vacation. She has no right to tell them where to stay.
Tell her to go play bridezilla with her attendants - you're not playing her games.
IF she's not paying the bill for the rooms, she has no say in where people stay and needs to get over herself.
Are you bride's side or groom's side?
Wow. I'd cancel that hotel room and stay home. Usually a bride recommends a hotel nearby and gets guests a discounted rate to be helpful. If you want to spend more money and travel more it seems weird but she should not care.
that bride has lost her cookies. Tell her that you love her the same but you will stay where you please..jeeze-a-lou.
I am with you. It's your dime, it's your time. She has no say in it. Why would she even care????? She sounds crazy. Why would she care where you slept? Cuckoo
She's a bridezilla. You have the right to stay wherever you want. Tell her so.
She needs to get over herself. It is uncalled for that she dictate such a thing.
She's crazy!!!!
You are paying stay where you like. It is not her call
i think if you want to stay in a nice place then go ahead... as long as your not LATE!!!
