[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh gosh, you don’t have to provide transportation unless you have some elderly grandparents out of respect. I’d do wedding party, parents, and that’s it. If you were in NY/ NJ you would leave a church and drive to reception. Uber exists if ppl can’t hoof it 7 blocks![/quote]

No one wants to go to anyone's wedding this badly. [/quote]

Especially since covid.  Things are different now.

People are really thinking "can I send them a check?" They are happy for you OP - just don't make it difficult, and don't only supply rides for the one or two "old people" on the down low - it's rude. The guests I know that attend weddings buy new dresses, and matching heels, and get their hair done (they don't just grab anything out of the closet and show up) and it is just rude to treat them like that. Besides, where are you going to put 100+ sneakers? I think making them change their shoes, while dressed up, is rude. I know someone who broke a foot bone walking in heels on a brick sidewalk, needed cast and crutches for six weeks.  - I don't think you want to be responsible for a bunch of injuries.

I would feel differently if the guests were wearing shorts and tee shirts.  I mean, you can be snarky and rude and tell them to wear that - but is that how you want to act, really?

What is the big deal with hiring a nice bus/coach for everyone? I have been to plenty of weddings that have just that. How much did you spend on the dress??  Is the bus really that big of a deal, in perspective??  Can the IL's kick in some extra money, or don't you want to ask them?  Some ILs might not be kind or generous, understanding or most of all, selfless. [/quote]
