[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a wedding professional, and it sounds like a horrible idea.  It can be over 100 degrees in summer in DC, and shade is in short supply.  People will be wearing heels and uncomfortable clothing, and not clothing they want to sweat in.  They'll arrive to your reception, if they arrive at all, drenched in sweat.  Plus, weddings usually have a lot of older folks, who shouldn't walk 20 feet in those conditions, much less 10 minutes (which could take them 20 or more).

I guess you've probably already paid for the venues and it's too late to change it.  So the solution is for you to provide air-conditioned transportation door-to-door.  [/quote]

DP here.  The older folks will be given transport, and the others will be left to fend for themselves - that is why OP is not coming back and commenting. That is how OP's wedding is going to be remembered, no matter what people say to OP (before, during or after the wedding). Normally, brides want all their guest to be comfortable, and apply the rules across the board (there are other "hot topics" about weddings in this vein, but I do not want to derail OP's original question).

Most weddings are mostly young people, or guests are about the age of the couple, depending on the family circumstances. [If the bride or groom has a terminally ill parent, for example, the bride and groom might want to invite mostly those people who are important to the parents (if they have a loving relationship with the bride and groom)].

So, having mostly young people, OP thinks only the oldest guests matter, and that is quite rude, as most people who need transport do not want to announce their health issues.  It looks like OP is choosing to ignore this significant matter.
