Re: How many limos do I actually need???

hmmmm, this sounds like a lot of limos to me....We have one for the bridal party and one for my father and myself which will then be for me and my FH. And one limo for FH and I to go back to the hotel at the end of the night.

Re: How many limos do I actually need???

That sounds like A LOT of limos. Why don't you guys jump into the bridal party limo after the ceremony to save some money? Then ask you limo company for a car service home. Is it absolutely neccessary to have another limo for family? If it's just your parents/siblings what about getting a limo big enough for your family and BP?

Re: How many limos do I actually need???

We are just getting one limo. One to take GM to church, then pick myself and BM to go to church. Everyone will jump in the limo after to go take pictures and then on our way to the hall. We were going to get a lead car for myself and FH but ultimately decided we wanted to celebrate with everyone in the limo after church.

We went to Camelot and I would highly recommend them. Joe was great. They are moving to Farmingdale next week.

Re: How many limos do I actually need???

we got 4 limos and i wouldnt have it any other way

1 stretch nav for my parents/aunts/uncles/grandma
1 stretch nav for ILs/aunts/uncles/grandma
1 rolls royce for me and my dad to go to church in and then me and DH on the way to the RH (this 20 minute ride was honestly the best part of my whole day - it was 20 minutes in the car with DH alone right after the ceremony ended and was really special)
1 party bus for the BP

my BP had 23 people so i guess if there was less in my BP i could have nixed the navigators all together and through the families in the party bus also

HTH

Re: How many limos do I actually need???

I'm only getting one limo. It's going to pick up FH & GMs and go to the church, then go to my parents and pick up me and the girls. It will be big enough to take everyone to the RH.

Re: How many limos do I actually need???

You could always get a limo bus for your bridal party and family and a small car like a Rolls Royce for yourself to arrive at the church and take pictures in front of.

Re: How many limos do I actually need???

Is it important to get a limo for the family? I only have one family member left on my side, and the FH has his mom, brother and grandfather.

We are looking to save money since we are paying for the entire wedding ourselves, but also there is tension on the FH side, the FML wants nothing to do with us and to much drama.


Would like some input on this,
