I had called a hotel about 2 months ago to set aside a block of rooms for people. I told them I would need 50-100. There are people coming in from out of town as well as people living in town who wanted to spend the night away from home.
They said "No problem!" Started giving me details. I hung up the phone feeling confident and completely at ease. Fast forward to today. Amy! Calls. She was unfortunately confused, she thought I was getting Married 10/19 not 9/19. Since it's back to school time they can only give me a block of 15 rooms.
...
33 is the low ball on rooms. That's doubling up on people who know each other and might stay together. That's expecting/hoping that some of the people will be staying at their parents houses.
So now I look for a new hotel and see if I can find one that'll give me ~50 rooms.

We didn't really bother with blocking rooms off like that. We came up with a list of reasonable and reputable hotels between where the ceremony and reception were located, avoiding all the shady cheap motels on the Boulevard, and included those with the directions in the invitation. That way people from various financial levels had some choices.
