Here's the abbreviated situation, not a huge deal but wondering what would you do?
FI's family always has a morning after brunch, my family never does. We were not going to have one. In order to compromise FMIL booked a 20 room gorgeous inn in the area for immediate family so that we could all meet downstairs in the morning for breakfast (she also reserved the HM suite for us as a gift). Now I'm 4 months out and everyone is scrambling to stay with us. I have one room left and 5 people who want it. FMIL and her friends booked 10 of the rooms (so much for immediate family). We don't even have room for our bridal party or my oot aunts and uncles. What would you do?
p.s. everyone is out of town except FI and I
Re: Morning after brunch, WWYD?
I would send them information on nearby hotels and invite them to the morning brunch. Maybe talk with the current hotel about having extras in for brunch (at a cost) or if you can add rooms to the roomblock.
I think moving to a different hotel already will create a lot of bad feelings with your in-laws and anyone who has already booked in the current hotel.

Katie: she has 10 just for her personal friends and family, which means we have 10 that has to go between my family, our bridal party and our friends; I can't say much though since she did get us the suite. I just hope no one is pissed that they were left out. I will also check to see if I can pay if extras who aren't staying at the hotel show up for brunch.
That being said though, does staying or not staying at this hotel affect who can attend the breakfast? Is it something included in the hotel? If thats the case I would see about either working out something with the hotel so people not staying there could come at an additional fee, or moving the breakfast. Simply not staying at the hotel is a non issue, but being excluded from the brunch as a result has the potential to hurt feelings.

[QUOTE]I can't imagine anyone reasonable is going to be angry that they have to stay at a hotel right down the road instead of at this teeny tiny Inn. It only has twenty rooms, people will understand that it can't include everyone. That being said though, does staying or not staying at this hotel affect who can attend the breakfast?

This is the issue. The breakfast comes with the hotel stay. The other hotel has a breakfast too, but we won't be there. I am going to find out if they will accomodate extra people for a fee. I'm just worried people will feel that we don't appreciate them as much as those who are staying at the inn with us. I should have thought this whole thing through better.
