What is the traditional day like in terms of limos/party buses/cars.... The limo or party bus picks up the groomsmen, groom and his family and drops them off, then the limo picks up the bridesmaids... but if there is a car (for example, a Rolls Royce), then the bride and (both?) her parents get into it... and then after the church do the bride and groom go with their bridal party or do they go in their own car? And what are YOU doing? We are trying to figure out how this works!!! lol

What are you doing limos/party bus/cars
Ugh, limos/transportation makes me want to vomit, it's the most stressful part so far I think. Our plan right now (because I'm sure it will change since we're so far out) is to get a regular limo for me and my girls/my parents and a party bus for the groomsmen/his parents. After the church, us and the wedding party will all go into the bus and parents will go into the limo. We don't want them cramping our party style haha. When my friend got married, she had a rolls royce take her and her dad to the church, her mom got in the limo with us. After the ceremony, her and her groom took the rolls and her dad jumped in with us.

I'm hating this too. I put my fiance in charge of this part. We're most likely going to get a party bus, bring him and his guys to the RH, then pick us up. We're going to be using an old Chevy Impala as our 'getaway' car for pictures. It's a show car that a family member uses that happens to match the colors of our wedding!

Good question! My situation is a little different. I want to do the traditional limo/party bus arrival for groom bride and bridal party, but I also want to book shuttle buses for my guests because a majority of my guests will be from out of town (plus I hate the idea of open bar followed by a drive home). My main concern is doing this in the least expensive way.
My idea right now is limo/party bus picks up groom, his groomsmen and parents (7 people) drops them at church. limo/party bus turns around to get me, bridesmaids, my parents (6 people) and drops us at church. After the ceremony is where this gets tricky. Limo/party bus takes bridal party and us (8 people, 13 if we include parents) to photos and then to the reception. Everyone would get to hotel via the shuttle that I would provide.
Any other suggestions? and/or vendor raves, especially for shuttle buses?

We're getting a a limo that will pick up me and the girls and my mom, etc. and bring us to RH then it will pick up the guys and do the same. End of the night me and FH take off in a Bentley to our hotel and family is going to take themselves home. Nobody seemed to mind :)

We have a party bus that is making two trips to drop off the guys/girls at the church and a RR Phantom to take my dad and I. The Phantom will take me and FH after the church and the party bus will take everyone else. We're thinking of getting an additional limo for our parents and grandparents so they don't feel uncomfortable or too cramped.
