[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in the midst of planning a summer wedding. Our ceremony and reception are at different venues but the two are a ten minute walk from each other (five minute drive) and both in downtown DC. My usual instinct is that when a wedding has two venues, it's incumbent upon the hosts to provide transportation but I'm not sure if that's true here.
Would it be unreasonable to ask guests to walk from one venue to the next? Or otherwise make their own way? 
I have not made my mind up either way so would love advice on balance cost (of transportation) and etiquette. [/quote]

I've never been to a wedding that provided transportation to guests to a reception from the ceremony. Ever.[b] And I don't think I've ever been to a wedding on the same premises as a ceremony. [/b]Maybe provide it to elderly or if you know someone has a health issue but the vast majority can figure it out. [/quote]

WTF? Is this a troll? [/quote]

Um, this is VERY typical where I am from in the midwest. [/quote]

I was invited to a friend's wedding in the Midwest (not Midwest as in Chicago, Midwest as in farm country), and she was describing the day's events as including a "typical cake-punch-mints reception" at the church afterwards. And I rolled with it, but it was not typical to me (East Coast farm country). The most perplexing part to me was that the mints merited a special credit. [/quote]
