So I basically have our Guest List completed and I started to go through to see how many people we would need a limo for (just so I can get a rough estimate for our budget)
FH and I really love the idea of the limobus just because it's more spacious (esp. for the dress), it fits a lot of people, and you can walk around (plus on some there is even a bathroom). But, when i went through the list and got a count of who would actually be in the limo it was only 20 people. Most Limobuses are for 32 passengers and above.
Do you think we should still consider doing the Limobus even though we have about 12 less people than it would hold, or save ourselves the $$ and go for something smaller?
I guess I could always throw some more people on the bus that don't feel like driving but the thing is most people are going to be driving straight to the hotel after the ceremony to check in and then take the shuttle from there so they won't need a ride and the people in the Limobus (WP) are going to be taking pictures at a separate location.
sorry so long and TIA!

Re: Your thoughts for Limobus
we were in the same boat--we did a limobus- i liked the space and not having to have everyone on top of eachother even tho it was bigger than we needed
hth!

Re: Your thoughts for Limobus
for me, it would probably depend on how much extra a limobus would cost ....

Re: Your thoughts for Limobus
We have a limobus and our BP is 13 people plus FH and I. So we have a limobus for 15 people. We did it for the fun of it......it'll be nice and spacious that way too. And my dress is going to take up half the space anyway

Re: Your thoughts for Limobus
I'm pushing for a limobus, FH kinda wants two limos. but we only have between 20 and 24 people and thats a perfect number, or so we were told at the expo last night.
have you thought about a trolly?

Re: Your thoughts for Limobus
i think we had 22 in a 40 pass..thy upgraded us from a 30 to a 40 that day as a surprise ...and we had plenty of room and thats why we got it...between all the people the dresses.the coolers ..it was well worth it..also since we were going from queens to long island we were thankful for the bathroom
also when they say 32..it really holds less..i guarentee 32 in that would be squashed.i think u guys will be fine

If you go through Tran Star Executive, you will save money with the limobus. It's only $750. Most Escalades are more than that! They are really nice to. Good company!!
I'm having the limobus and we only have like 18 people! I'd rather have the room and it's a great price.

I would actually LOVE a trolly but it's a 45 minute drive from the church to the RH so I'm not sure if that's the best idea.
I think we are just going to go for the limobus and if we have a couple of extra people that need a ride, then at least we'll have the room.
thanks Girls!

Re: Your thoughts for Limobus
I think the limobus is awesome! I've started looking into limos and really, the bus isn't much more than the hummers or escalades that hold 20-24 people, and you'd have so much more room! You actually might SAVE money by not having to get 2 escalades or limos.
I sort of want one for my wedding and we only have 13 people! My only concern was that while the inside is super cool, the outside still only looks like a regular bus. Kinda blah for pictures... but how much do I really care? hahaha

Why not let the WP's dates ride in the limobus with you guys? Are you getting a separate limo for your families or are they going to be on the bus, too?
Honestly, most smaller limos cost almost as much as the buses for some crazy reason. I'd go with the bus, then again I'm biased.

Anthony loved the limobus too. The wiseass said, 'look baby! It has a pole!' sigh...
I'm afraid to let him on one of those now!

Re: Your thoughts for Limobus
WE are not having too many people in the limobus either. Just the bridal party and parents, but we got such an awesome deal, we just had to take it!! Plus, it will be roomy even if its not 32 people.

Re: Your thoughts for Limobus
We're going to limobus and we'll be 19 people on a 32 pass. Totally worth it! You are able to socialize wiith everyone more on the limobus than a limo. Which is a nice thing for a bridal party if they all don't know eachother. And the bathroom is a plus! Not that I will be able to use it...

Re: Your thoughts for Limobus
i guarantee you that it wont be too big! they over-estimate just for marketing and sales reasons but you will fit very comfortably- not too much room at all. i highly recommend it! good luck!

Re: Your thoughts for Limobus
I think it'll be more than fine. We have 6 GMs, 7BMs, the two of us and 2 others on ours. I do not want people on top of eachother. Its so much nicer and roughly amounts to the same as two limos, and less than 2 limos+ bentley. FUN!
