    We are having our wedding in early September in the Philadelphia area. We are having lots of out of town guests who are staying at a hotel which is approximately a 20-25 minute drive from the ceremony/reception location (the ceremony and reception will be located in the same place). I would like to provide transport for all of these guests. I have two options: (1) a school bus that has no AC but that only costs $400 for the night or (2) A shuttle van with AC that costs $800 for the night. I am concerned about the no AC. My mother thinks that since it is fall and since it is only a 20 minute drive, people will not need AC. What do you think? Should I splurge and get the van with AC. I want my guests to be comfy and well hosted, but an extra $400 seems like a lot.

    Its only 20 minutes I think it will be fine, if you are really concerned maybe you could buy a couple of those cheap hand held fans that you can get from dollar stores for people who want them?

     

    it sounds like an unnecisary extra expense to me, it will be the evening so it shouldn’t be too hot

    The school bus is fine – no one will notice the no A/C – just don’t even mention it.  It can probably fit more people than the shuttle bus as well.
