When would you do the DD bus tour?

CamilleJon

So we have already booked and put down a deposit for the DD bus tour and we no longer need it to bring our guests from the ceremony to the reception. I emailed the DD bus company and they said we could use it anytime that weekend.

So, any suggestions of when/where we should use it? Here is a timeline of our weekend:

Thursday night: bachelor and bachelorette parties

Friday: M&G in Vista Suite 6-?,
Travis Allen vists at 7pm

Saturday: Bridal Brunch (ladies only)  at Eiffel Tower at 11:30am, maybe boys will golf 9 holes?
H/MU in Vista at 2:30pm
Ceremony at 5pm with reception following right after

So... should we do a Sunday morning Champagne Farewell bus tour? A Friday afternoon bus tour (prior to M&G), or use it Thursday for the wedding party prior to going our seperate ways? Or let the boys use it Saturday while girls are at brunch?

I'd say Friday before the M&G- like 4-6.
Our original plan was to do a M&G then girls/guys split...and it never really happened because everyone was having so much fun together. You may find this happening if you get everyone boozed up prior to the bachy parties.

What about after the M&G? I think the strip looks its best at night.

That's true... I guess I just thought people would be hanging out in the suite all night.

They could always come back to the suite after the DD tour. Might break things up a bit?

I say the Sunday after your wedding.  It's a nice, relaxing way to wind everything down.  It's like the ribbon on the present.

That's kinda what I was thinking, too. Otherwise I feel like it will feel too cramed into the rest of the events.

I was thinking maybe we could do bloody marys on the bus. We could do it during the day (1-3 maybe?) when it will be warme. I like the strip better at night, too, but it is a little too cold in January.

We could tell everyone to meet for buffet brunch somewhere beforehand.
