my parents drove themselve I guess it would be nice if you could do it.. But remember then they need away to get home.

We asked our parents and neither one of them wanted it. I thought everyone gets their parents a limo to the ceremony and reception and they both said they didnt want it or need it...but my FMIL also said that it was an added expense on my part and not to worry so...maybe in the end I just might get them one anyway
Ask them-if you can afford to do it why not...I think it is a nice gesture and will most likely wind up getting them one anyway

I am not worrying about them when I order the Limo's I will ask if they want to pay for one for them. If they do then I will order it for them. The wedding is a fortune already I don't think I should have to pay for either of their transportations.

we did for my in-laws, b/c they paid for the limos. But my aunt drove my parents.

Not sure yet what we're doing about that.

Re: Are we supposed to provide transportation...

We are getting 2 limos.

My mom will ride in the Rolls to the church with me & my brother. The BM's will ride in the other limo. FI's parents will drive themselves.

To the reception, the bridal party in 1 limo, me and FH in the Rolls. My mom will ride with my Aunt to the reception.

Re: Are we supposed to provide transportation...

they felt it was just another added expense and didn't need it. Maybe if we had gotten married at a church or something, I might have been inclined to do it anyway, even though they said no. But since it was just getting to one place, and they had to get home from that place later on - it was just easier to not do it.
