Anyone else not planning a reception entrance?

Andrea, on July 21, 2019 at 1:02 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 19
My fiancé and I are having a backyard ceremony/reception with about 60 guests. We aren’t planning a huge entrance, just a quick here are the new Mr. and Mrs. No dancing, no wedding party. Just us.
Anyone else not planning a big entrance?

    We’ll be walking from the beach to the pavilion, not doing any kind of “entrance”.

    We didn't have one. We just walked in together hand in hand

    I’m not going to have one. My wedding will
    be very intimate. 25 people total, no dancing either.

    My fiance and I aren't doing one. I really don't care either way but this was his decision. He's a very shy person and not big on crowds so he'd rather not have everyone's attention if it can be avoided.

    We didn't do one. We were married at an Arboretum then went our favorite restaurant for a lunch buffet reception. We wanted to get there first to greet guests.

    We’re not doing a cocktail hour(photos before ceremony) so we’re just walking in with the guests and doing our first dance while everyone eats.

    That’s exactly what we want too.

    We are having a smaller, more intimate wedding too. It just seems unnecessary to do one.

    That sounds incredible! We considered renting a restaurant at first, but then decided to have a reception at my father’s home.

    That’s a great idea! We are planning to have our photos taken before everyone arrives. That way, we will be able to enjoy our cocktail reception.

    It was! We did photos before the ceremony. It was his Best Man, my two sons as attendants and not a lot of staged family photos. We zeroed in on the ones we wanted. Our photographer came back to the restaurant with us and those photos are some of my favorites. Best wishes!! I had the big church wedding, dinner, open bar and dance the first time. This time it was scaled waaaaay down, lol.

    Our venue is at the same place, so we probably won't do anything huge either, especially if we end up not being able to afford a DJ

    I'm not actually sure if we're doing a big entrance. Something tells me my fiance wouldn't want to do it.

    We didn't do one. I think they are obnoxious and we joined our guests during cocktail hour. No big deal.

    We're not doing one. We'll just join people in the tent for dinner!
