OK, hive—let’s chat about transportation. This is a subject that, during my short time interning at a wedding venue, I saw overlooked COUNTLESS times! People would be at the rehearsal the night before trying to figure out who would take the fall and be the DD for those who drank throughout the night.
Now, while we won’t have that issue (still planning on no alcohol at the wedding, as of now), we definitely will need some from of transportation for the big day. Actually…we may need MULTIPLE forms of transportation.
Here’s why: the girls and I will be staying at a hotel the night before the wedding, and we’ll be getting ready there for the day. The guys are going to be staying (as far as I know) at our apartment and then getting ready when they’re actually at the venue. Let’s face it, I can totally see these boys getting dirty in the ten minute car ride from our apartment over to the venue. 
So we’ll definitely need either a giant bus for the girls and two cars for the guys, or three cars for the girls and two for the guys. That’s a lot of carpooling!
But throughout this thinking process, one thing came to mind—no limo. Now, if this is your favorite thing—go for it! By all means! But when we take photos with our car, I wanted it to be something different and unique.
…And then I saw the always lovely Mrs. Fox talk about her transportation. A BUS! How cool is that!?

So now, I’m thinking a bus. Or at least something equally as cool to the bus. Because, after our first look, we’ll be doing something similar to Mrs. Fox and her group (depending on how set up at the venue is going) to move around and take photos at different locations.
For our getaway…well, that’s still up in the air, but my brother and dad have quite the collection of Camaros, so it’s only fair that they share, right!? 
What kind of transportation did you use for your wedding? If you decided to carpool, did it go off without a hitch?
We’re going the carpool route and crossing our fingers that it works! It’s an early-afternoon wedding, though, so I don’t think people are planning to get smashed anyway 
I let our bridal party figure out their own transportation, it gave me a headache and I figured they were all adults and could figure it out without my help
We drove ourselves to the church, had a party bus from the church to the reception, and all of our guests were shuttled from the hotel to the reception in school buses they loved it!
We’re carpooling to the church and our getaway car will either be my dad’s 74 chevy truck or his dad’s convertible mustang. I’m with you on the sharing 
We’re taking a trolley and I couldn’t be more excited. The pictures are going to be AWESOME!
A bus would be awesome! We hired a vehicle for me and the Mr and borrowing friends cars for the rest!
I know this post is from awhile ago, but this summer I went to a wedding where the transportation for the guests was a duckboat! No kidding!
Mrs. Otter, Indianapolis, IN Age and Occupation: 22, Freelance Social Media Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, CVS Shift Supervisor Engagement Date: November 11, 2011 Wedding Date: April 2013 Venue: Mustard Seed Gardens About Me: I'm a born and raised Hoosier girl, but a diehard Michigan Wolverines fan. I have a tendency to take too many photos and spend full days having TV marathons. Mr. Otter and I met in high school, started dating a couple years later, and moved in after a month of being official. He is easygoing and makes plans on a whim, while I'm color coordinating my planner and organizing everything in sight. He hates glitter, but it's my favorite thing. I have tattoos and he still won't get one, despite my attempts to convince him. We're planning a small, rustic, and (hopefully!) peony-filled wedding to get our married life started. (And yes, there will be glitter involved!)
