Hey Girls,
One of the groomsmen asked if his girlfriend of 5 minutes could ride in the bridal party limo with him. I was just going to have the bridal party only- not their girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, or wives....once I start that I'll have to get a bigger limo, and everyone will want to include their partner. What are you girls doing? To include or not to include? Am I being snotty?

Can she get a ride with another guest? or with another groomsman's significant other? I'm sure it can work out.

I have to be the different one here! My bms (with the exception of my MOH) are all from out of town (and mostly out of state), so we got a limobus that seats 32 so that all the bp and their dates can fit. Some of the bp's dates don't know anyone else and I want everyone to be comfortable and have fun. Its also a 30 minute drive to our hall.
If your hall is close - then it doesn't matter at all. If its far, then its totally your decision. Its not expected at all. My friends were very excited and happy when I told them but I don't think they would have thought twice about it if I didn't.

We did the limo bus too, because our site was an hour from the church.
All the members of our bridal party had husbands or wives and I didn't want anyone to have to worry about the logistics of transportation. I felt like it was the least I could do, considering the expenses they incurred to be in our wedding.

My cousin's BF of 2 years came to the church with her parents but went on the bus with her to the reception. My MOH's date (a guy she'd only been seeing for a month) just met her at the reception, but if he wanted to come into the city and jump on the bus, I wouldn't have minded. I wanted everyone to have fun and be as comfortable as possible.

It probably makes a difference as well though, that I'm friends with all the S.O.s of those who were in our bridal party, so I wanted to be nice to them as well.

It's a nice gesture, if you can afford to do it, but in no way is it necessary and no one should expect it.
