Show me your maps/directions card

I've been dealing with this all night. I tried google, weddingmapper and mapquest.  Maybe I'm just being too picky.  Share yours with me please.

    Do you need to have a directions/map card? Alot of people these days just put addresses in their GPS or phone to help get them to the destination. We didn't use maps for ours and no one had a problem getting to/from the ceremony, to the hotel, and to/from the reception. Just a thought and it will help ease the stress you are having.

    I have a lot of family from out of town and they're all country folk! LOL
    I don't know if I necessarily need one but I would like to provide one.

    I know Etsy has some super cute ones... I am not to that part of my planning yet, but we definitely need maps as well!

    We didn't use maps.  I had a lot of family/friends from out of town, but like corinne said, they all just plugged addresses into the GPS and/or they relied on our shuttle to/from the wedding.

    I included a map in our inserts -- it was just a map that was on our venue's website that showed both the park (ceremony site) and where the reception hall was.  They were pretty basic -- http://www.meetinghousegrandballroom.com/directions.html

    I also included a map in the OOT bags at the hotel that showed the hotel, ceremony and reception sites, as well as my IL's house where we had a brunch the next morning.  I am not sure if people used these or not, but it only took me a couple minutes to make.  I saved a map from Mapquest as a JPEG, dropped it into PowerPoint, then I used the lines and stuff to draw on top of it to show only the roads I wanted.  When I was done, I just deleted the original Mapquest map and VOILA. 


    But yeah, I don't think they are necessary and if it's too much work, just skip it.
