Re: Jewish Brides - Limo Question

one reason I wanted a limo was for the pictures... traditional, I know. But I got 'em and they're great pics.

it was only about $100 more than car service would have been. I looked into that option as well. for $100, it was more than worth it to me.

I put on the dress at teh hall. WE didn't use limos, my mom drove me there, and at the end of the night, DH and I and his parents got into a cab! One less thing to spend $ on for us....

I agree, there are a million other places I'm wasting money! I like the idea of just getting a town car. We have a car, but the idea of getting into our junkly little car and driving home after the wedding seems too wierd... Thanks for the feedback!

We are getting married after the sun goes down in the dead of winter so taking pictures outside before the wedding wouldn't have been an option for us. To pay hundreds for a fancy limo to take me (and my MOH who is staying with me) in plain clothes to the temple is just silly. I will have given FH my clothes for the next day and make up the night before at the hotel where we will be the night of the wedding (and where he is staying the night before). I'll have a bag of clothes with me to change into when the wedding is over and someone ELSE will take my dress home.

OHHH - good idea, I didn't think about someone taking the dress home for me after the wedding. Very practical! (I'm stuck in obsessive mode about little details - this is sooo helpful)

Re: Jewish Brides - Limo Question

we're not doing limos either. i'm getting dressed in the bridal suite at the temple.

Re: Jewish Brides - Limo Question

We didn't use one. My dad drove to the wedding from Staten Island with me and my mom, and I got dressed at the temple.

Re: Jewish Brides - Limo Question

if you're getting ready at the temple - do you get everything done there? hair and makeup? Is it important to have those getting ready at home pics? I'm leaning more and more toward forgetting the limo - thanks everyone!

IMO, this is 100% a personal preference. there is no wrong answer.

if you want pictures at home, you obviously would be getting hair, MU & dressed at home. and that would be a good reason to get a limo.

if you want to get dressed at the hall, no need for a limo. might as well save some $$.

JMHO
