Parents and the limo

So I'm trying to figure out what to do about my limo. My dad asks me the other day, how is he getting to the wedding? And I'm thinking, the parents of the bride and groom can just drive their own cars to and from the Ceremony and Reception. What are you girls doing about your parents? Is it even an issue? I was thinking of getting a limo just for our parents and siblings, but it's going to cost more than I planned for transportation. I don't know what the typical protocol for this is. Help!!!!

I'm getting a limo for my parents/fh's parents/godparents/grandparents. All the VIP's.

See if a black limo might be more cost efficent.

Re: Parents and the limo

We arent getting our parents any kind of transportation...My father will be riding with me to the church and thats it. I dont really think it is neccessary to arrange transportation for them, if they really want transportation they can hire a towncar or something similar...
FH and I are paying for everything ourselves and parents should understand that and not expect that we would pay for something extra...

Re: Parents and the limo

I don't really want to put my parents with his parents anyway, I don't want any drama occurring. They get along but you never know with our parents. I was thinking of having my dad ride with me to the church and then that's it.

thanks for your replies.

Re: Parents and the limo

I am prob going to get like a bigger limo instead of the antique cars for my mom and dad grandma etc to ride to the ceremony with me and then after the ceremony is done to bring them back home.
In which they can drive themselves to the reception

Our Gm went with DH and his parents to the church in a limo

Re: Parents and the limo

I'm getting two limos (one for the guys and one for the girls). My mom will ride with me and the girls and FHs parents will probably drive there.

This is exactly what we're doing.

FH, his parents, and GM's will go in a Limobus to the church,

Me, my parents, and BM's will go in stretch navigator to the church.

Then me, FH, and BP go in the Limobus to reception and my parents, their dates (parents are divorced) and FH's parents will all go in the Navigator together to the reception.

Re: Parents and the limo

Are you getting married on site? Are you seeing FH before?

My parents didnt want to come earlier with us to take pics (we started early, like 9:15am) so they drove their own car and met us there. They wouldnt have asked us for a limo because we were paying for everything ourselves.

However if I got married at a church, I would have had my parents ride with me.

We got one large limo and my parents rode with my and the bm's & fg's to the church. Groom's mother came in her own car to the church. The morning of our wedding my brother and my dad dropped off my parents car at the church and they drove the rh on their own.

We have 2 limos.....1 for me, my parents, and my bridesmaids. the other for my FH, his parents, and the groomsmen. Our ceremony is at our RH so we wont need any transportation home just there.

Re: Parents and the limo

I am going to get only a Rolls to take me, my dad and mom to the Church. The Church is literally 2 minutes from my house, so most likely my mom will have her own personal car dropped off in the church parking lot. The Rolls will take FH and I to the reception. His parents will take their own car.

Re: Parents and the limo

We had budget issues with getting multiple limos. We ended up getting a limo bus in the end. The bus picked up my family and the girls, then went to DH's house and picked up his family (minus him) and we met him at a park to take pictures.

We saw each other before tho....I don't know what your situation is.
