limo confusion

Hi ladies, I have a really dumb question. How does the whole limo thing usually go? Do the parents ride in the limo with the bridal party, do they get a separate car, or do they drive. I am so confused! Also if 1 limo picks the guys up and 1 picks the girl up, to go to the church, do you have to keep the same 2 limos or can you get 1 big limo for everyone after the ceremony? Sorry so many questions. Any info would help. Thanks!

No Question is a dumb Question. Ok Here goes. For Us we wanted one big limo for everyone. We are getting 20 passanger Escalade. Limo will be picking up the boys first dropping them off. Coming to my house and picking us up. My dad will go in the limo with us since he is walking me down the aisle. It all depends on what you want. And what you can afford. The limo Leaves usually after they drop you off at the reception. So remember you will need a car there as well as everyone in the wedding party. My limo Company offers a pick up after the reception. All they ask is for a 50.00 'tip' for the Driver Good Luck.

We are doing something kind of similar. we are gettng a 12 passanger for the 6 of us girls and an 18 passanger suv for the guys. drop us all off at church.. wait the hour and a half.. then me and FI go in the 12 passenger together to the hall and the BP goes in the suv. We offered both our parents town cars or small limos but they wanted to drive.. esp since they dont want us to waste money and want to make sure they definitly have a ride home that night! The limo company since we are spending so much offered to throw in a town car at the end of the night to pick up FI and I ( everyone in the BP is dating someone not in BP so they can all get rides with them coming home) Hope I helped!!

we got two 10 passengers one for the guys one for the girls, after the church I guess it will be us and the maid and matron of honor and the rest in the other car. I am driving to the motel on saturday so our car will be there, and we are having a pick up after to take us back to the motel.

Re: limo confusion

aside from riding to the church, most people dont have their parents in it afterward... either they get a towncar? or drive themselves..

were having 1- 14 passenger,
the girls and i are being brought to the church,
then the bp and are are all going in it afterwards

Thanks to all who posted, I guess there are quite a few options. Just checking, do the bride and groom generally leave alone and the bridal party follows? I guess I'll talk to the limo companies and ask their opinions also.

In my case, my FI, his family and the GM all come from LI so we are having 2 limos sent there. One for FI and the GM and the other for his parents and family members that we wanted in the limo (his godparents and their spouses). Then I am having a Rolls sent to my house (in Bklyn) for me & my dad and another limo for my family. Since the church is 4 blocks from my house, when the limo with FI & GM drops them off at the church it will come around the corner and pick up the girls. After the church, the whole bridal party will go in the same limo that picked them up, our families will go in their limos and we will go in the Rolls.

We are having three limos. One to pick up the guys and part of the parents from NYC and take them to the church. One will pick up the girls in LI and take them to the church and the last one is for me and my parents to go to the church.
After the church, the big limo (H2) will take the bridal party to the reception. The mid size limo will take the parents and the smaller bridal coach will take my FH, me and our MOH and Best men to the reception.

I have the same setup as NY Lisa and Robeymuse. It was the easiest way.

Re: limo confusion

We got 3 limos. An Escalade, a 10 passenger lincoln and an excalibur. Me, my mom and dad will go to the church in the excalibur. My BMs and my grandparents will go in the 10 passenger lincoln to the church and FH and his parents and GM will all go in the Escalade to the church. After the ceremony, the Escalade will turn into the BP car, so all the BP will go in there; the excalibur will turn into FH and I car and the 10 passenger lincoln will turn into the parents/grandparents car.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a limo company? how much does a rolls royce cost?

we are getting one limo- that is picking up the guys. We got a limo bus- that is picking up all the girls. My father is going to drive to the church and meet the guys.. long story- dad lives in ct. traveling down to my aunts where I am getting ready... the limo bus is taking all the girls, my aunt and my dads fi to the church. after the churchthe whole bridal party is taking the limo bus to the Watermill.. nothing fancy nothing extra... needed to cut corners

Well I only have a MOH and a BM, and thats it. How would I handle that situation? I cant afford to schlep a bunch of ppl around in a limo all day and night!
