  • How are your BMs getting to the wedding?

    Fo my sisters wedding the entire wedding party drove to the ceremony location in their own cars.  Some car pooled others drove by themselves.  After the ceremony my sister and her husband and their parents took the limo to the reception site.  The rest of the wedding party drove their cars.

    I would suggest having your FI and his guys all drive to the ceremony in their own cars.  I would speak with your wedding party and see if car pooling and such would be possible after the ceremony.  Are many, if not all, of the wedding party bringing dates?  If so, this would solve your problem about how people will get home and to the reception.

  • We are just utilizing a limo. I have it for four hours so first they'll pick up the guys and take them to the church then pick me and my girls up at the hotel and take us to the church then the limo will take the whole WP to the reception. Most of the WP has dates that will be driving to the reception so that's how they are getting home in our situation. We also have a hotel block that is providing transportation as well.
  • We just utilized a limo too.

    Here were the logistics:

    I got ready with the BMs and left with them for the church in the limo.

    Post ceremony DH and I along with the entire BP took the limo to the reception.   The BP's SOs took their own vehicles.

    Leaving the reception all of us were in charge of our own transportation.   DH dropped his car off that morning so we would have a way of getting to the hotel that night.    It was up to the BP to organize their own ride home from the reception / to the ceremony depending on the limo situation.    It was rather simple for everyone since everyone had a friend / SO that they would travel with anyway.
  • We did a trolley for the ladies and my parents to get to the chruch.  The guys rode over with wives and other family members.  After church, my parents drove themselves to reception and the BP took the trolley.
  • I got prepared with my bridal party and the mothers at the salon, then took a limo that could hold all of us to the site of the ceremony. Afterwards, to keep costs down, we took our own car as the getaway vehicle, and the bridal party carpooled with family members to the reception. It was fun to decorate the getaway car with cute decals and flags!

  • Because our reception was at the same location as our ceremony, and no limo company would book less than 4 hours at a time, we realized that we wouldn't do fancy transportation.  It would have required paying an arm and a leg for like 7 hours of their services to drop the 8 of us off (WP) then drive us to the hotel that was 4 miles down the road.  Instead, H rode with his GM who all rode together, and then were getting rides with their wives/gf at the end of the night.  My BMs and I hitched a ride with my mom to the site from our hotel.  Then H's dad drove us to the hotel at the end of the night, and returned to pick up H's mom and a few goodies and our cake top and drove home.  My BMs caught a ride with another family member that was going back to the hotel. 
    H & I both knew we would have some drinks (although it's surprisingly difficult to even get a buzz on your wedding day) so we didn't want to drive at the end of the night.  We didn't want our WP to drink and drive either, which is why we were communicating plans early on so we could make sure cars were in the proper locations and carpooling was coordinated ahead of time.
