Exiting Your Wedding: The Getaway Car

We've all seen it before : a car, limousine, classic roadster, sometimes an ordinary American four-door, cruising down the highway with the words "Just Married" spread across the back window. Couples are getting creative these days with their getaway cars and it makes for such a great photo op!

Traditionally the decorating of the getaway car is handled by the groomsmen (but bridesmaids, flowergirls, and ringbearers are usually welcome to help if they would like to), decorating the getaway car can be a chance to get creative and call upon those artistic talents not often used in everyday living. While scribbling "Just Married" on a window is a start, to really do your newlywed friends proud, bring some imagination and fun along and go all out.

THE CLASSICS

Use soap or shaving cream to write "Just Married" along the back, either on a window or on the paint. But please BE CAREFUL: shaving cream might damage the paint, leaving a possibly hefty fine to whomever returns the car. It might be wiser to play it safe and use the window. Soap should be safe no matter where it's used, but depending on the paint job, it might be harder to see on the paint (especially if it's a white limo!).

Another traditional way of dressing up the getaway car is to tie old shoes to the back bumper. In times past, leather was believed to ward off evil spirits, and so old leather shoes were thought to keep the newlyweds safe.  But be aware that some limousine and car rental companies discourage tying anything to the car; always check with the transportation company in advance.

STREAMER SPLASH

We love seeing cars with colorful streamers on them, definitely a great way to splash on some color and definitely one of our favorites! Try to use the color scheme of the wedding.

BALLOONTASTIC

Another way to add color is to take some deep breaths and blow up some balloons or have them delivered to the venue by a party company. Tie the balloons to the outside, or fill up the inside of the car to bursting.  Nothing adds festivity to an occasion quite like rubber balloons, so don't hold back -- the more the merrier!

BOTTLES OF BUBBLY

While you are decorating the getaway car, put a couple bottles of champagne in an ice-filled bucket and stick it on the back seat. It's a classy gesture, one they're sure to appreciate. . Why not also leave a basket of treats in the car. The couple often misses out on much of the wedding feast, and chances are, they'll be hungry as they drive off.

FIRST THINGS FIRST

Please be safe with your decor on the car -- you don't want to do anything that might get the bride and groom a ticket (obstruction of view), or god forbid into an accident. Be wary of covering the windows up too heavily -- either their driver or they will still need to be able to drive. Take a seat behind the wheel during the decorating and see if you'd still be able to drive.
