Oh one thing I was advised to out on mine last time I got married was about eating. It was the photographer that told me to mention that although the wedding was at a certain time by the time photos, etc were done it would be a fair bit later that we'd be sitting down to eat and so he said to advise people to eat something light before they went to the service. I worded it something like "Our photographer has mentioned the amount of time between the service and the meal and recomends you eat something light so you don't all feel and look hungry, fed up and grumpy on the photos" Most people said it was good advice that they took and as a result weren't stood about starving hungry while the photos were been done. Also it helps soak up the welcome drinks a bit!
Perhaps something about if people are veggies they need to let you know by x date, also estimated finishing time for people who want to book taxis in advance. You might have this already but how about alternative hotel accommodation? eg local b & bs, etc? Also might be worth mentioning that you can sometimes get better rates at www.laterooms.co.uk
We did a list of accomodation that was very close to the hotel, but it all got booked up quite quickly, i wish i had put the local tourist information centre phone number and website on the invite info. We ended up doing quite a bit of sorting out for people!

The mention of my child's name may bring tears to my eyes,
But it never fails to bring music to my ears.
If you are really my friend,
let me hear the music of her name!
It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul!
I put a big choice of places to stay on mine, not just hotels. I had B&b's, a couple of caravan parks and even Butlins as it was just down the road. The local tourist information number might be good in case the hotels you've listed get booked up or otherwise the local tourism website. If your venue has any rules about ******** then it might be good to put them down too. For example our church didn't allow ******** in the church yard so we had to wait till we got outside.
I also included a contact number and email in case anyone had any questions.

Do you mind if people bring their own video cameras? If you don't mind, don't mention it, but if you'd rather they didn't it might be good to let them know. We're having a strictly no videoing policy!!
Our vicar also asked us to inform guests in advance that only the official photographer will be allowed to take photos during the ceremony.
The other thing I think I might do is put down an emergency phone number (like one of the Ushers' mobile numbers) in case people get lost. I'll have to remind him to turn it off before the ceremony though!!
