Jonathan Schlussel: It's O.K. if you ask the wedding party to carpool. But also consider this - they are doing YOU a favor by being in your wedding, not the other way around. So it'd be nice to at least ask them if they mind carpooling that day. Also consider that, if they'll be drinking alcohol throughout the day, then they'll need a designated driver, a taxi or a hotel room to stay in for the night. I would talk to them and see what they think. You could get a party bus or a van to accommodate everyone. Renting a school bus would probably be fairly cheap. Call some local limo and transportation companies and see what their pricing is like. Also remember that you are getting married during Prom Season, so rates may be higher than normal due to supply and demand....Show more
Erin Arron: Okay, there are many schools of thought on this as you have seen already.Traditionally, the father of the bride provides transportation for the bride, bridesmaids, mother of the brid! e, and himself.This doesn't have to be limos or town cars, it can be any car. It is only ARRANGED by the father of the bride, and usually only because the bride's parents traditionally paid for the majority of the wedding.Obviously things have changed over the years so this is not set in stone.As for after the ceremony - from the ceremony to the reception...It is common practice that the bride and groom have their own car (be it limo or otherwise) and the wedding party has a separate ride (be it together as a party, which is common, or on their own, which is also common).No matter what you decide your mother may feel "left out" just because you are getting married, you are no longer her "little girl" and she is going to have to "share" you with everyone else. So the transportation issue may be stemming from something else entirely, I would sit down with her and discuss your budget and your wishes with her and see if the two of you can't figure out a good solution together.! Maybe she just wants to be more involved. As for creative ide! as...I have seen everything from renting multiple cars (pricey) to renting a "limo bus" (also not cheap, but often more affordable than multiple cars). I have seen people rent a trolley (this actually wasn't too expensive, surprisingly, and was very cute in the pictures). I have also seen people do horse drawn carriages. I would search in your local area yellow pages for transportation and then call for estimates.Good Luck....Show more
Maye Delk: let them come in their own carsits your wedding not "hers". If she wants everyone to come in a limo, i suggest asking her to pay for it, if money is the problem here.if you got money to waste, like water, then why not just rent 100 limos and drive everyone there?...Show more
Mark Hovanes: you do not choose gas, your in basic terms 14. do not be lazy like something of society, experience a bike. its best for you, and its exciting. and its in certainty loose, apart from the fee of procuring for the motorcycle interior th! e 1st place.
Donald Caravalho: First of all congratulations on your engagement! I bet you are super excited. Honestly, I am sure you will hear this a lot, it's your wedding and you should have the right to choose what you want to do.I am getting married in April. What I am doing is going in the limo to the ceremony location with my parents and sister and then from there I am leaving to the reception place with my fiance. I mean, we are starting a life together, we might as well start by being driven there alone. I think other people would understand....Show more
Lucille Saetteurn: I am going through the same thing! In my opinion this is about you and your hubby- no one else. As selfish as that may sound I think there is no way you are able to accomodate everyone's transportation needs. Someone somehow is always going to feel left out in some way. So, i would just concentrate on how you and your hubby are going to get to the reception and not anyone else. There ! is always someone that's going to feel unhappy. As nice as that would b! e to provide transportation for everyone else it gets pricey and you will definatley have to pick and choose who is going in the limo etc. Do yourself the favor in just worrying about you and your hubby. If anyone feels so strongly about it then they can do it themselves (plan, pay etc.) I have been in 7 weddings and only once was provided with transportation and in the other weddings didn't feel like it was wrong i had to drive etc. That is not your job. Your job is to show up and enjoy your day....Show more
Dalila Yoon: It is typical for a chauffeured car to take the BM's to the church, and a 2nd car to take the GM's to the church. After the ceremony, one of the cars takes the Bride and Groom, and the 2nd one takes the wedding party.This is only typical though. It also typical to slowly walk down the aisle but as we have all seen from the latest YouTube hit, some people like to dance :) People are opting for other desserts instead of a traditional wedding cake, I! 'm even attending a wedding in october that will take place in a field that annualy hosts a music festival that the bride and groom met at 4 years ago! How your bridal party exits the ceremony and arrives at the reception hall is YOUR choice. They may even be alright with taking their own vehicles so they cant keep a change of clothes in there or other belongings they may want to bring with them. You are providing these loved ones with food, drink, and a party to never forget. If you would like to have them drive themselves there, then so be it!Congrats and hope your wedding day is beautiful!...Show more
Kalyn Proietto: Well every wedding i've been to the groom, bride and wedding party ride in the limo, the parents usually ride in their own vehicles, I mean you dont really have to provide transportation to the bridal party its just a luxury. If you guys want to ride alone, so be it, its your wedding do as you please.
Elva Batie: no it's not required that you p! rovide a limo for the entire wedding party. because chances are you'd ! need 2 limos to do that. I've been in 4 weddings and only had a limo ride after 1 of them. for 2 of them, the bridesmaids rode to the church in the limo with the bride and her mom. the groomsmen and groom just ride in cars to the church. after the ceremony, only the bride and groom rode in the limo. so how do the bridesmaids and groomsmen ride around for pictures after the ceremony? well you have to plan in advance and park some cars at the church the night before, so that everyone has a ride after the ceremony....Show more
