Another Hotel Option

Hi everyone, I hope you are making or planning to make your hotel reservations soon. We have rooms on hold at the three designated hotels only until Sept. 15. For those of you coming from abroad or planning an extended stay, you may also want to consider the Four Points by Sheraton München Central Hotel (click for link), (we have not blocked rooms here), especially if you have Starwood points or corporate rates for Sheraton. They could have special deals available (free nights, reduced rates, etc.). It is not far from the Munich center, about a 10 minute walk. It is a 5-10 min cab ride to the reception location. And a review again of the three designated hotels (can click on name for link) **Please Note: We have reserved double rooms, so if you need only a single room, please mention this when booking to receive a different rate. Rates below are for doubles/Einzelzimmer müssen erfragt werden.**:

Laimer Hof - cozy German B&B type hotel/gemütliches nostalgisches Familienhotel, rate: Eur92/USD123. 10 minute walk to reception. 10 minute walk to public transportation. City center - 10-15 minutes by public transportation. **Please Note: Bus transport to the church will leave from here**

Erzgiesserei - German Standard hotel, modernly appointed/moderneres Hotel mit Boutique-upgrade Zimmern, rate: Eur90/USD120. 5 minute walk to public transportation. Löwenbrau Biergarden 2 blocks away. City center (main station) one subway stop away. 5-7 minute cab ride to reception.

Sofitel - Boutique upscale hotel/ein erstklassiges top-modernes Boutique Hotel, rate: Euro127/USD170. 2 minute walk from central station. 10 minute walk to city center. 10 minute cab ride to reception. **You must contact directly: Ms. Petra Seebach, Group Reservations Manager, +49 (0) 89 59948 2921.

We're looking forward to welcoming you all!

Honeymoon Registry and Wedding Games / Flitterwoche Gutscheine und Hochzeitsspiele

(Post first in English then in German)
Dear family and friends,
In lieu of a traditional registry we have set up a "Honeymoon Registry" (vouchers). Contributions may be made to the accounts listed in the invitation (coming very shortly). Contact (in Germany) Lidija Pleic at +49 173-5485613 [please note, the number listed in the invite is incorrect], lidija.pleic@TUI-LT.de or (in the U.S.) Simon Joyeux at +1 917 774 9134, simon.joyeux@ey.com
Lidija is a professional vacation advisor for TUI (http://www.tui.com/) (and a good friend!) and will assist us in booking our honeymoon (probably to Thailand and Hong Kong)
For those of you who have already given so generously for our civil ceremony, please do not feel obliged to give another gift - many of you are coming from great distances and that is gift enough!
If you have any ideas for the traditional German "wedding games" (where the MC's and guests find ways to make fun of the couple), please contact Joe Blum at +49 173 676 27 29, joachim.blum@creyfs.de or [NOTE E-MAIL AND TEL HAVE CHANGED] Mark Schüssler at +49 172 620 3705, mark_schuessler@yahoo.com

Liebe Familie und Freunde,

Statt eine traditionellen Hochzeitstisches bitten wir euch, uns finanziell für eine Flitterwochenreise zu unterstützen, in Form einer Überweisung an Lidija Pleic in Deutschland (kontakt: +49 0173-5485613 [Bitte merken: die Handynummer in der Einladung ist nicht richtig], lidija.pleic@TUI-LT.de) oder Simon Joyeux in den USA (kontakt: +1 917 774 9134, simon.joyeux@ey.com), oder den Zuschuss direkt zur Hochzeit bringen.

Lidija arbeitet in der Tourismus Branche bei TUI und wird eure "Geschenke" in eine tolle Hochzeitsreise für uns umwandeln.

Diejenigen, die uns schon reichhaltig zur Standesamtlichen Feier beschenkt haben, brauchen natürlich nichts mehr beisteuern.

Diejenigen, die Ideen oder Vorschläge zu witzigen Hochzeitsspielen haben, sollen sich bitte and die Co-Organisatoren Joe Blum (0 173 676 27 29, joachim.blum@creyfs.de ) oder Mark Schüssler [Kontaktdaten waren falsch und sind hier korrigiert] unter 0 172 620 3705, mark_schuessler@yahoo.de wenden.
