Transportation issue / Limo to Reception Only

Help! We are getting married in about a month and half and we have a limo for the wedding party for the ceremony to the reception location.

We do not have a limo all day.  I think this is common, but I can't figure out how the transportation works.

Our plan is to take pictures downtown Minneapolis and then go to the church for family pictures and the ceremony.  Then the wedding party will take a limo the reception.

How does the wedding party get their cars to the reception??!!! We have to drive to the pictures downtown and to the ceremony.  Not only that, the girls are all meeting in Maple Grove for hair appointments and make-up in the morning.

What have others done about this? Thoughts??? I can't figure this out!

We want the end result to be that the wedding party can leave the wedding and their cars will be there at the venue.

    The only wedding I've been to that had us all ride together for pictures and then to the reception site, every one in the bridal party had another person who wasn't a part of the bridal party there with them.  That person simply drove their car from the ceremony to the reception.  I don't really know what to do if you have people who don't have someone else at the wedding with them, though.

    Like pp said, try to get as many people to one place in as few cars as possible for the events beforehand.  We only had a limo from ceremony to reception as well, and quite honestly, I didn't really worry about it because I figured everyone in the WP is adults and figured they can figure it out themselves, and they all did! Most people in WP had significant others with them who drove their car to the reception, and granted a few cars ended up being left at church for the night, but everyone got where they needed to go  after it was all over.

    Most of our wedding party had anther person there that would drive their car over to the reception.  If that isn't possible, then try to get people to the ceremony in as few cars as possible and you can probably recruit close friends or familiy to move them to the reception if the owner of the car is OK with that.

    We had the WP SO or +1s take the cars from the ceremony site to the reception site. Or they carpooled with another person in the WP or someone else they knew.

    I made up a car pool list, putting people that won't be in the limo in charge of driving the bridal party. My parents will be taking me and two of my bridesmaids, one of the flower girl's mom will be driving the flower girl and two more bridesmaids, my older sister (not in WP) will be driving her daughters (another flower girl, jr. bridesmaid, and PA) and my sisters (MOH and jr. bridesmaid), and FI's parents will be loading up the van with the groom and groomsmen.
