Most brides only think of wedding transportation in terms of getting to and from their ceremony and reception. Many couples fail to realize the positive impact a great transportation plan can have on their wedding day.  A great plan ensures guests arrive on time and at the correct location. By considering a transportation plan not only for the couple but their bridal party, brides can have a greater impact on their wedding day. Here are some great tips on how to manage your wedding transportation

Transport Out Of Town

Guests If guests have travelled far to be apart of your day , the best you can give to them is a car service or a shuttle. By providing a shuttle , you can ensure your guests get to and from the ceremony and reception on time. If cost is an issue, contact guests before hand and reserve a car service  with directions to your wedding

 Give Bridal Party a Ride

The worse thing you can do on your wedding day is allow your bridal party  to drive to and from wedding on their own.  These people must be on time! They are crucial to the ceremony, therefore, you should provide transportation for them. The last thing you need is a wedding that can’t be started because the Maid of honor is missing.  Provide transportation and require that they use your transportation. Its your best approach to ensuring they arrive on time.

Give Immediate Family a Ride

Just like the bridal party, this group is crucial to the entire event.  There is nothing worse than getting ready to walk down the aisle , than you realize your parents have yet to arrive. Provide car service /limo to the most important people in your life.

Prepare for Delays

In every wedding, there will be some sort of delay. It is inevitable.  Give your self extra time just in case your running behind schedule.  Create a timeline  which allows a 30 to 40 minute cushion time.  This time would allow room for late arrivals and unexpected delays.  When creating a timeline for your transportation vendor, set them to arrive 30 minutes early to each location.

Make a playlist

Create a fun array of your favorite songs to play during the bridal party limo ride.
