Travel & Lodging
Keep guest travel choices simple
Travel & Lodging should help guests choose from available hotel or travel options without burying them in planner-only detail. The current guest portal should focus on actual hotel choices and concise instructions.
Hotels
Room blocks
Guest choice
What to include
| Field | Guidance |
| Hotel name | Use the public-facing hotel name guests recognize. |
| Booking link or code | Make the booking action obvious. |
| Address | Include enough location detail for maps and transportation planning. |
| Deadline | Add room block deadline if applicable. |
| Notes | Keep notes guest-friendly: shuttle, parking, rate, or check-in reminders. |
Guest portal behavior
- Show the hotel choices clearly and compactly.
- Remove extra non-choice sections from the guest lodging tab when they do not help the guest decide.
- When RSVP/portal changes are closed, show lodging selection as a read-only summary and tell guests to contact the couple for changes.
Before sending guests here
- Enter only active lodging options.
- Remove placeholders and old test hotels.
- Test from a guest account.
- Confirm lodging report matches guest choices.
Common issue
| Issue | Check |
| Hotel choices too long | Condense notes and keep only booking-critical information. |
| Guest cannot change selection | Check RSVP/portal mode; closed mode should be read-only. |
| Report mismatch | Check whether the guest saved their lodging selection and whether the report is reading the current state. |
