Some help ladies please!!!!!

What is everyone doing about limo's and the parents? I thought the parents didn't get limo's from the Church to the Reception just the bride, groom and bridal party. But a friend of mine is getting their parents limo's and I don't know what to do now. What are you all doing?

FI's parents will drive their own car.

My parents will probably get a ride from a relative being they do not have a car.

Re: Some help ladies please!!!!!

My fiance, his guys and his parents will be taken by limo from the hotel at noon (along with anyone else who may tag along)
Then..
My father, my girls and myself will arrive at the church at 1pm.
My mother is getting a towncar to take her, and then after mass the limo will take me, my husband and the birdal party for pictures and my mom and dad will take the towncar back to their home and Df's parents will take a shuttle or a family car back to the hotel for a bit.

(basically, my father doesn't drive and my mother doesn't want to be behind the limo driving by herself as she is balling her eyes out.. it makes sense and was a minimal charge.)

Re: Some help ladies please!!!!!

We were only going to get a limo for us and the BP, but our parents did not want to work or have to rely on someone to drive them. My father and my FI's father are paying for their own limo from the the house, to the church, to the reception and then back home after the reception. We put the two limos in our limo package but they are paying for them.

Re: Some help ladies please!!!!!

We are getting married at the same place where the reception is, so this isn't an issue for us. But I always believed that traditionally the parents had limos and if we did need them, I would make sure that all parents would be in a limo.

Re: Some help ladies please!!!!!

We are also getting limos for all the parents, plus grandparents. This just creates an issue at the end of the reception, but I think I have enough people going in the same direction to give them rides

Re: Some help ladies please!!!!!

My parents will drive themselves or tag along with someone else. I am getting a rolls and a 10 passenger for us and the bridal party.

My house is 3 blocks for the church and the reception is less than 10 miles away.

Re: Some help ladies please!!!!!

My parents are driving in with me, fh's with him. (we're all staying in the city) and as far as returning, they'll probably take a cab or go with someone else.. they have told us not to worry about it.

Re: Some help ladies please!!!!!

I hired a limo for the parents to take them from the hotel (where everyone is staying) to the Church and then to back. My reception is next to the hotel so this plan works out very well.

Re: Some help ladies please!!!!!

My father will come with me on the way to the church but then he will grab a ride with my step mother as my mother will probably take her own car of hook up with someone
