Transportation for the wedding party, as well as out of town guests is a factor not to be overlooked when planning your wedding. As with other aspects of your planning, the first step is to develop a transportation budget that fits your needs.

For the wedding party and guests, private or rented vehicles are often suitable choices. However, some brides opt to rent chauffeur driven limousines. If money is no object, consider renting three; The first for the bride's mother, the maid of honor and a few bridal attendants. The second vehicle could carry the rest of the attendants and the third would carry the bride and her father. With this situation, the groom and his attendants usually make their own transportation arrangements. After the wedding, the bride and groom leave in the car that the bride arrived in.

If money is tight, consider renting only one limo, or using a private or borrowed vehicle.
