Arguing with future mother in law.... help!
Okay, so here's the deal. I'm getting married at the chapel at Manhattan College on a friday at 3:00 next July. My reception is going to be at the VIP Country Club in New Rochelle at 6:30. I want to block out a bunch of rooms at the Radisson in New Rochelle so people can stay there that night if they want. I was thinking of having a shuttle bus (like a 55 passenger) run from the hotel at 5:50 and then again at 6:15 from the hotel to the party (the hotel and the party are 2.6 miles apart).
My mother in law is seriously fighting me on this. She says that people don't need bussing (even though she did had 3 for her daughters wedding...) and that people get themselves home from weddings all the time. I have friends who will get drunk and some family members too so I would like to provide them bussing. Even if I pay, which I think it might come down to (mother in law is paying for most of the wedding.... but her guest list is also larger than fh and mine plus my parents), she still has a lot to say about it. She is very opinionated and its rough with wedding plans. She thinks that people are going to get stuck in traffic and miss the shuttle bus and thats why she thinks its a bad idea.
Here is my wedding idea:
Church 3-4
Receiving line 4:30
People will leave the church by 5ish I assume
People will get to the Radisson by 5:30 if there is traffic.
Then people have a couple of minutes to freshen up in their rooms, grab a drink at the hotel bar.
Hop on the bus at 5:50 or 6:15.
What do people think. Am I cutting it to tight and is she right or do you think it will work. I am assuming that maybe 100 people will need the bus (55 passenger).
Also, does anyone know a bus company and an idea what there rates are? Please help!
