In Colombo, most wedding guests arrive in their own cars, park at the hotel and spend the evening celebrating. By the end of the night, a lot of them shouldn't be driving home. As the host, there's a lot you can do to help.
Plan the drive home before the wedding
It's much easier to sort out transport before the day than at midnight in the car park. Think about which guests are likely to drink, especially those travelling with family, and how they'll get home.
Let guests know drivers are available
- Add a line to the invitation or wedding website: "Planning to celebrate? Book a sober driver for your own car."
- Ask the MC to mention it towards the end of the evening.
- Put a small card on each table with how to book.
Book drivers for close family
For parents, grandparents and the wedding party, consider booking drivers in advance for the time the reception ends. A Wedding & Event Driver can also drive the couple or family for the whole day, from the poruwa ceremony to the reception and home.
One driver per car
If a family came in two cars, they'll need two drivers. A driver drives the guest's own car, so the car comes home too, and nobody has to come back for it the next morning.
