Transporting the BMs

JaclynMarie11

Am I required to rent a limo to take the BMs to and from the ceremony and reception site? We're getting married and having our reception at the same place, which is about 45 minutes from where we're all getting our hair done. My mom & I are paying for hair and makeup, and I bought everyone's jewelry for them. There's really not much money left in the budget, so I was wondering if it was ok to leave it up to the BMs to get to and from the site. One is pregnant, and another has a 2 yr old, so they will probably leave earlier than the others. I just don't want to be rude. Help! Thank you ladies!!

My DD didn't.  All of the BMs who were able to attend the rehearsal and then went for hair the next morning just came back to our house after hair.  Then after a quick lunch, everyone drove their own cars to the ceremony/reception place (same place) to get dressed together in their bridal suite.

That way the girls all had their own cars for after the reception.  It seemed like an unneccessary and extra expense to hire a limo when ceremony and reception were all at the same place.

Just make sure that all the BMs have a way of getting from the hair salon and to the wedding location.  There's no need to rent a limo.

It's not rude to skip the limo.

Just give them a heads-up about it now, so they can talk to their dates and figure out a game plan if necessary.

It's absolutelyfine to skip a limo.  I don't think limos are terribly expected in my area and we never considered having one.  It wouldn't have made sense anyhow since we and our 6 WP members were driving in from 4 different towns.  Some of us carpooled, others drove themselves.

No limo is okay, I'd just let them know so they can plan ahead.
