Do I need to have a Limo for the wedding party?

Jaimie, on June 4, 2013 at 8:15 PM Posted in Planning 0 17

I'm beginning to look at prices for limos. We already have one for us that comes with us venue's package. I'm beginning to wonder if its acceptable to forgo having a limo for the wedding party. Is anyone not doing it?

    I've only ever been to one wedding where I've seen a limo at all. All the weddings I've been in and been to everyone just uses their own car, which is what I intend to do

    I don't think it's necessary. Is the limo provided to you not fit the BP too? I've never actually been in a limo, so I don't really know how many they seat.

    I'm so glad I don't have to deal with this. We are staying at our venue the nights before and after the wedding, and both the ceremony and reception will be held there.

    We are probably going to have a limo. Both FH and I, as well as the whole bridal party will be riding in the limo.

    From what I've seen the bms ride with the bride to the ceremony in the limo & then after the ceremony they ride with their dates or the GMs to the photo spot or to the reception so that the bride & groom can have alone time in the limo & soak it all up. The BP will likely need their cars after the reception so they can get home & this makes it easier. At least this is what I'm doing.

    NO. You do not NEED a limo, you WANT a limo. If your budget allows, great. If not, carpool.

    Of course you don't NEED a limo. If you WANT and can AFFORD then do it. If NOT, then DON'T.

    You don't need one. We're driving our own cars to our wedding! Smiley smile Noone will remember the limo but you. So if it's a NEED for you then go for it Smiley smile

    Definitely not necessary. If you are traveling a great distance for pics you could always rent a van to get the WP around...it's what my friend did!

    Do you need to? No. If you want to, and can afford it, that's one thing. But if you'd rather put your money somewhere else, do that instead. I don't feel that it is a requirement at all.

    I will not be providing a limo for the wedding party...in my opinion, it's not a needed expense.

    We are doing the limo. its only costing us 75$ and I am not seeing FI before the wedding so i think it will be fun to have the lmo pick us up from the hotel & stop at starbucks while the BM and I run in to get our morning coffee Smiley smile

    We have a white hummer limo! Im using it for the bridal party to arrive at the ceremony (myself and my party) but the grooms party will already be at the church by way of their own cars.. the reception is at a different location so after the ceremony.. my FI and I (or i guess then it will husband, lol) are taking the limo by ourselves to the reception- where will have a entrance of just us- no party entrance with groomsmen or bridesmaids! Smiley smile

    I tried to model the logistics of my wedding after Kate and prince William, lol. You know, she shows up at the wedding in the limo with her sister (bridesmaid).. goes in, has the ceremony and then leaves with the prince!

    A limo is provided to us from the venue to take me and my bms to the ceremony and then my fh and me to the reception. I'm wondering if I need an additional for the rest of the wedding party, but I prob won't be. It's not really in our budget.

    I prefer no limo honestly. It's not like they won't need their cars to get home or to the place you're getting ready at in the morning unless you make them all stay at the same place as you before the wedding and than make them stay at the same hotel afterwards. Which imo would be bridezillaish.

    I'm having all my girls get ready with me, 1. for photo op and 2. I DON'T WANT ANY LATE ARRIVALS!!! LOL So it worked in my best interest to get a limo from our "getting ready" location to the ceremony venue, and then then the whole wedding party will ride together to the reception.

    Most weddings I have been to usually have a car to shuttle the bridal party to the ceremony and then reception. But its not necessary. We are having a limo, some seat 10 people. Their cars will be at the hotel which is a 3 minutes walk from the reception venue. The limo will pick us up seperately from the hotel. They are driving there in the morning.
