Limo Service for Bridesmaids and Groomsmen

I'm planning on having two limos for the day of my wedding to take all of us from the hotel room to the wedding location, however I'm wondering...do you usually pay for limo service to return the bridemaids and groomsmen back to the hotel or are they supposed to figure out transportation for returning back to the hotel? My wedding is in Vegas and the groomsmen are all local, however my bridesmaids are coming from out of town (so most likely will not have a car to get around).
Thanks for the help! :D

    Typically you do not pay for return transporation.  Does you WP have any friends or family coming to the wedding?  If so, would it be possible for them to carpool with them on the way home?

    Also, where in Vegas is your wedding taking place?  Is it within walking distance to the hotel?

    Whatever you decide you need to communicate what you are doing to the WP so they know what to expect at the end of the night.

    We are doing the same thing. We just offered to take people to their cars the next day if necessary.

    I think it definitely depends on where the wedding is taking place and where they're staying.  Driving around the Strip can be... challenging; I'd probably prefer to hoof it or take the Monorail if possible.  But if their only option for getting back after the wedding is to rent a car or take a cab, you should probably help them arrange for rides.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    You don't HAVE to pay for transportation for the WP after, but if someone will be stranded without a car and made to call a cab after the wedding, I might help arrange something for them.  Definitely let people know up front if there will NOT be transportation after the wedding so they aren't given an unpleasant surprise the night of.

    let them know from point what to what will the limo take them and when it will leave so they can make their own arrangement for transport later since car pooling some people will feel stuck or others feel they have to stay too long than they wish.

    Very helpful, thanks all! I will let them know to arrange transportation at the end. They all have boyfriends or girlfriends who will be attending so I'm sure they will be able to catch a ride.

    Are you okay with some of the bridesmaids/groomsmen choosing not to use the limo so that they can have their car with them for the return trip?

    Does the hotel they're staying at have a shuttle?  What are you doing for your out of town guests?  Every wedding I've been in (and mine coming up), has transportation to and from the hotel for ALL guests.   The WP goes w/ the bride to the church and reception hall, then everyone (bride and groom and WP included) take the shuttle/bus/whatever back to the hotel.  Maybe that's a northeast thing?

    I'm not sure where you are getting married, but lots oh hotels on the strip do offer shuttle service which might be an option for your wedding party to get back to the hotel. I would call the hotel & see if you might have that option. Good luck!!
