Limos

What should I expect to budget for the cost of limos? What do most people do...2 limo's?

Re: Limos

depends on what you need...how many hours do you need? like what time does your ceremony start and end...how much time in between ceremony and reception...going to take pics someplace else? how many bridal party members are you having or just ppl in general that you need to give transportation to? and are you looking for regular car limos or like truck limos?

Re: Limos

Well we were considering using the hotel shuttle to take us to the hotel after the reception so our limo's would not need to wait for us. If we do that, we will need to be driven to the church...then from the church...to our picture location...and then to the ceremony. So I would think about 5 hours to play it safe. We were talking about the limos tonight and we are a little confused as to how people normally work out transportation.

My girls and I would like to get a car/truck to take us to the church...then my FH would need a car/truck to get there too. Once we are all there though, we could really all take 1 car/truck to take pics and to the reception. It would be nice to get one of those old antique cars or something...how does everyone arrange this?

Re: Limos

We just booked limos...we got a hummer that will pick up FH and the guys and bring them to the church, it will then come to my house to pick up the girls. We also got a limo for parents that will pick up his parents. My mom and I will be getting in an antique car. After the church, the whole bridal party will get in the hummer, the parents will get in their limo and FH and I will get in the antique car. We'll go take pictures, and go to the RH. We're going to have to get some people to take cars out to the hall in the morning so everyone has rides back. Thats kind of a pain but it doesnt look like people usually transport people home. We were able to use the set time, 3 hours... 3:15-6:15....

HTH!!
