5 Clever Ways to Use a Golf Cart in Your Wedding

You’ve seen the limos, the school buses, fancy cars and party buses, but have you seen golf carts at a wedding? Whether you’re getting married at a golf course, on the beach or anywhere in between, golf carts are a great way to get everyone where they need to go.

The best thing, though, is that you can use golf carts in more ways than just transportation. Here are five clever ways to use a golf cart at your wedding.

Skip the photo booth — use a golf cart as your backdrop! Photos of you and your bridal party or guests riding in a golf cart will be ones you’ll cherish forever.

You can be romantic with the photos by having you and your new spouse riding away into the sunset. Take a little drive around the reception venue for some quality time with your spouse — it’s a secluded space, and your photographer can get some great candid's.

Golf carts are perfect for silly pictures as well. Pile the groomsmen into one cart and the bridesmaids into another and have them “race” for some hilarious photos!

Your guests can have fun with them too as a photo prop. Maybe Aunt Sue pretends to run over Uncle Larry, or Grandma goes rogue. There are so many options for photos using a golf cart.

A golf cart is probably one of the easiest transportation options to decorate, and your bridal party will enjoy helping you decorate a fleet of golf carts! The decorations are more likely to stay in place on a golf cart.

With the bars on the four corners of a golf cart, you can tie ribbons and balloons effortlessly. Plus, it will be less to decorate since it’s a smaller vehicle, which means you can save money.

The options are endless for golf cart decorations. Pinterest has a plethora of golf cart decorating ideas, or you can get creative on your own. It might even be fun to make golf cart decorating into a competition. Each bridal party pairing can decorate their own golf cart, and guests can vote on the best.

Many newlyweds use cars to get away after the ceremony or reception. Often, family members or the bridal party take it upon themselves to customize it with car paint and beer cans. Just what you want in your car, right?

If you don’t want your car to be decorated, tell the decorators to deck out a golf cart in all of the “just married” glory. You won’t have to worry about cleaning up your car after the fact. Plus, some golf rental businesses allow for an extended rental period, so you can wait until after the honeymoon to safely return the golf cart.

Golf carts tend to be an eco-friendly option. If you’re environmentally conscious, then choose to use golf carts as transportation on your wedding day. Depending on where you live or where the wedding is, you might be able to drive the carts on the road as long as it has a license plate.

Most golf carts are battery-operated, so harmful emissions won’t be an issue. You can help the environment and save gas money on your wedding day traveling by golf cart.

Destination weddings are a great way to get your closest friends and family together for your wedding, and everyone involved can explore the destination. However, if it’s an entirely new place, your guests may have difficulty navigating the area.

Put a few people in charge of driving golf carts from the hotel to the ceremony or reception and back. This will take away the stress of finding each destination so your guests can be at ease and enjoy the time watching you get married.

With the versatility of golf carts, it’s hard not to want one at your wedding! Whether you decorate it, use it as a getaway car or take the best candid's with a golf cart as the prop, you’ll be thankful you rented one for your big day.
