Limos question? need advice-

Ok- so we have 5 bm's and 5 ushers 1 fg & 1 rb- & us

SO I was going to get 2 limos.

What about parents? Do I get a seperate one or what?

My fh parents are happily married but my parents are shall we say bitter, twisted and apart for many years.

What are you doing? What should I do?

Thanks for your responses

If i were you i would have you parents in separate limos and have FH's parents in one...I don't think you need to get another limo

Both our parents are divorced (not bitter) But all the woman are in one limo and the men in another..

I would get 1 big limo for the bp and 1 limo for the 2 of you ( unless you would prefer to ride with the bp)

as far as your parents I would ask them. We gave our parents the option ( his are also seperated and mine divorced ) and both sets said they would honestly prefer to drive so they dont have to worry about having a way to get home at the end of the night.
If they would prefer a limo I would get small towncars instead.. that would save you some $$

Great idea! We only have a MOH and BM so we are only getting a car for the two of us. I don't know how you guys figure all this out!

Re: Limos question? need advice-

i would get one for the bp one for the 2 of you - and ask the folks maybe they want to bring themselves - if not i would say either stuff them in with the bp - this way they dont have to sit together or 3 town cars one for fh' parents one for your mom and her date and one for dad and his date- you could get them for less than a limo this way they dont have to pretend to be civil to one another.

personally we have a large limo for the bridal party and one car for fh and me -
my father isnt comming neither are fh's parents so mom and grammy can either come in the limo with the bp or we will get them a town car
hope that helps

Re: Limos question? need advice-

SUPPOSEDLY from what my limo company told me, the parents usually pay for their own limos. I found that to be ridiculous because my parents have given me all this money, then I am going to make them pay for their own ride? No, not happening. So we are all taking one limo, while JT and his guys are taking another limo. HIS PARENTS on the other hand can walk there for all I care. But in your case, I would have your parents get a car. But how are they going to get home from the reception hall? maybe it's best if they take their own cars.

FH and I are getting two limos. We got the Escalade for our bridal party and us. We got the second limo for our parents and grandparents. I think that if you can afford to do it, it is a nice idea to have a limo for your parents.
