As you plan your wedding, you've undoubtedly thought about how you will get yourself and your future spouse around on the big day. But, what about the rest of your party and guests? Should you provide transportation for some or all of them? While most bridal couples can let most attendees arrange their own transport, here are a few situations when you really should do it yourself.

1. When Wrangling a Large Bridal Party

Are you going to have 10, 12, 15 or more people in your bridal party? Couples with extended families or a lot of close friends can easily see their bridal party swell — sometimes to an almost unmanageable size.

The more people who need to be on time and in the right place, the more you should charter reliable transportation to get them there. Look for as few separate vehicles as possible — ideally one for each partner's side of the bridal party. 

2. When Grandpa Might Get Lost

Will some of your friends or family members have difficulty getting themselves to the wedding or reception? Take the stress out of the day for both you and them by arranging to take care of transportation for a few people or the group at large. 

3. When You're in Unfamiliar Surroundings

Are you getting hitched in a destination wedding with which most people are unfamiliar? Or, alternatively, are there a lot of out-of-town guests or wedding party members coming to you? If you think that people will have a hard time navigating the area or may not have easy transportation choices lined up, take the worry off their hands. A single chartered bus (or mini-bus) can get everyone there with no worries.

4. When Parking Is a Challenge

Many couples these days choose offbeat venues that don't always offer the traditional perks of a dedicated wedding venue. If your chosen location has any challenges in store for those who arrive and depart, chartered transportation is an easy solution.

This could be perfect if there aren't enough parking spots for your guest list as well as vendors or if the route between the parking and the venue would be dirty or onerous. A large transport vehicle can drop everyone off and pick them up curbside.
