Wedding Invitations

Consider alternatives to the traditional (and expensive) limousine exit. You could go by horse-drawn carriage, boat, hot-air balloon, taxi, streetcar, vintage automobile, motorcycle, convertible, horseback, or even tandem bicycle if your dress permits. Choose a fun and clever send-off if that suits your style or wedding theme.

Have a friend be your chauffeur in a rented town car.

Arrange for food and beverage to be waiting for you in the limousine or car in which you exit. Changes are you will have eaten very little at the wedding and won’t realize how ravenous you are until you get into the car.

Be sure to have a few extra slices or wedding cake packed away for you to nibble on at the hotel. Wedding cake tastes great as a midnight snack in your honeymoon suite or for breakfast the morning after!

Is someone from your wedding party planning to decorate your going-away car with balloons, a “Just Married” sign, empty cans, or shoes tied to the bumper? These touches make for a more festive send-off.

Other fun ways to decorate your exit vehicle include fresh or silk flowers, streamers, painted messages on the windows, pom-poms or ribbons attached to the antenna, and even a funny enlarged photo of the couple displayed in the rear window.

Have the driver of your send-off car drive you around through your town or city if you so desire. This is the one time all eyes are on you, and you may want to relish the moment even more.

Kiss, cuddle, and savor your first drive together down the highway of life as husband and wife.
