How Do We Choose the Right Room Block Size?

Choose your room block size based on realistic guest attendance, not your full invitation list. 

  • Typically, 30–40% of invited guests may not attend 

  • Overestimating leads to unnecessary risk and pressure 

  • Underestimating may limit availability for guests 

A balanced approach: 

  • Start with a conservative estimate 

  • Add flexibility to increase rooms if needed 

  • Monitor bookings and adjust accordingly 

Key Takeaway: 
Base your room block on expected attendance, not invitations. This reduces risk and keeps your options flexible.
