Limo Confusion

I'm so confused about what to do about limos. I have 5 bridesmaids, 5 groomsmen, and a flower girl, but two people in the wedding party have serious significant others that are NOT in the wedding party. One of them does not have a car. Should we invite them to be in the limo? Also, how many limos do most people get? Two? One for the guys and one for the girls? How about the parents? Which limo do they go in? And how does everyone get their cars to the reception site to go home? Is anyone getting a shuttle bus from a hotel/airport/train station to the ceremony and reception? How much would it cost because you'd need to get it for the whole day and possibly the next morning...I'm so confused! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'M CLUELESS! thanks.

Limo Confusion

I have 5 bridesmaids too. We are getting two limos. Going to the church, it will be me, my father and my bridesmaids. My fiancee will be in the other limo with his groomsmen. After the church, it will be me, my fiancee, best man, maid of honor and a bridesmaid and a groomsmen. Ive never heard of significant others being in the limo. My bridesmaids and groomsmen parents will be at the wedding, so thats how they are getting home. As far as the person who doesnt have a car, maybe he can catch a ride with someone. Some limo companies offer to take you home after the wedding and pick you up the day after, you would have to look into it. Hope this helps.

Limo Confusion (really long)

I was also confused about the limo situation and here is what we are doing. I have 6 Bm and 6 groomsmen, 3 flowergirls plus me and my parents. We got 1 8 passenger limo and an excursion, which holds up to 24. We are having the excursion pick up the groom and the groomsmen and bring them to church. If my in-laws want to ride in they can too. Then the same car will come to my house along with the 8 passenger limo. The girls will get in the excursion and my mom, dad and I in the limo. After chruch, FI and I will be in limo and bridal party in excursion (with their dates, I think). My parents will get ride home from either the limo or excursion, haven't figured out those details yet. Because we have a huge gap between ceremony and reception, parents will go home and then I think we will have the limo or excursion go pick them up. Still haven't ironed out all the details. After the reception, our limo company is having a limo pick us up to take us to the hotel. I think we are going to rent vans or cars to take the rest of the bridal party and guests to the hotel. I hope this helps a little. Sorry it is so long but I waited a long time before booking limos b/c I had no idea how to manage. Good Luck.

Limo Confusion

We got one 14 passenger limo. Its going to the grooms house and taking the guys and his parents to the church. Then coming and picking me up with the BM and my parents. After the cermony, all the bridal party will be in the one limo (we wanted everyone to be together). The parents will either have town cars or drive themselves, or go with others to the reception (they haven't decided what they want to do yet) Significant others of the wedding party are on their own (which actually works out better since it provides a way for the bridal party to get home). I haven't decided if we'll have the car pick us up at the end of the reception - if we go out afterwards, we'll just hop in with someone.

Limo Confusion...Here is what we are doing LONG!!

I have 4 BM and 4 GM. We booked 3 limos and we will possibly be booking a Van. We have one limo taking me and my girls and my mom to the church,(who is walking me down the aisle) then we have the 2nd one picking up my FI and his GM. Then the 3rd one is for the parents. After the ceremony my FI and I will be in one, the guys and the girls will be in the 2nd one, the parents will be in the 3rd one. My mother's hubby will be driving his car so my mom will be riding home with him. Any significant others will be driving their own cars so that is how that will be handled. I always thought this was understood. My FI has been in weddings and I had to drive our own car, then when the wedding was over that was how he got home. The bride or groom, I have never seen make any arragements for her BP to get home. THat is a thought for me, b/c all of my girls except for one is single. They all drive, but now I don't know how they will get from the reception to their cars UUMMphhh decisions decisions. Happy Planning all
