We're just having everyone drive their own cars to the ceremony site, and then we're going to ask them to carpool to the reception from the ceremony. It's not a parking issue- I am just trying to keep the wedding as eco-friendly as possible, and also I thought it would be nice for the big drinkers to carpool with designated drivers who were not planning to drink at the reception, so I don't have to worry about drunk people hitting the road in their own cars after the party.
There will be 2 miles between the recommended hotels (we've blocked rooms for our attendants and guests) and the church and reception sites (the church & reception are less than 1/2 mile apart). And we aren't getting cars.
I think most of our wedding party will drive themselves and my fiance & I are going to use one of our own cars as well.
As for designated drivers, that is left up to our guests and wedding party. They can opt to carpool if they want but I'm not going to arrange that for them. I'm also limiting them to beer & wine and cutting off all alcohol 1hr before the end of the wedding.
Me (the bride) and my bridesmaids and my side of the family actually stayed at the venue the night before; and all the others just drove themselves to the venue in the morning.
We also stayed at the venue that night so there was no need for designated drivers ( no one in my family drinks anyway), and the guests just organised themselves as best suited them…
Hope this helps
Everyone took their own cars. Since most of my family don't drink, designated drivers weren't an issue.
Instead of an open bar, just serve a single champagne toast and then make it a paid bar only. That will cut down on the amount of drunkeness (and the expense). Then make sure the hotel has a cab company available for those that get drunk, but make the drunks pay for their own cabs. Maybe it's cheap of me, but my motto is, if you're going to get stupid drunk, you better be prepared to pay the consequences.
I did rent a limo for my wedding, but the majority of my wedding party just drove themselves in their own vehicles. The last wedding I was just in had us drive ourselves in our own vehicles.
drove sepertly, But the brides and grooms fathers had more than 1 car that they owned so they let the groomsmen drive the bridesmaids to the reception in those cars and there was a shuttle for people who drank to much
I'm getting married at a lake resort so my attendents are staying there in a room (on opposite sides!). We are then having the reception at the ceremony site. Less travel.
We carpooled.
We're just going to use cars. Easier to get in and out of than limos and a really good place to cut costs.
