Bridal Party Entrance/Annoucement

You can have them announce it however you want. First we had the grandparents announce, then his parents, then mine. Then we had each groomsman announced followed by the bridesmaids and then my and my husband.

Its really up to you how you want to do it. For the groomsman and bridesmaids they said brother of the bride, friends of the groom and so on.

How many were in your bridal party, we have the parents entering, then the FG, then JR BM & GM then BM & GM then MOH & BM then us. We are all doing this to one song, and I have to make sure that the song is long enough. Did you have anyone with hard last names? did you write the list out for your DJ phonetically?

Coming from a DJ's perspective... every wedding is different. Some couples want a very basic grand entrance. Some want to make a bigger entrance. Some want to emphasize their relationship with the wedding party, and some want to go all-out and announce their relationship, what they have in common, and a different song for every couple to add more "punch" to their grand entrance.

Ultimately, as Stacy mentioned, it depends on what YOU want. Do you want to build up the excitement slowly and create more of a party atmosphere? do you want to just get it over and done with? It really depends on what you want.

You can do a search on youtube for grand entrances...

We had the grandparents introduced from their seats, then my mom and brother (who was escorting her), then IL's (DJ called MIL by the wrong name), then the wedding party in pairs, then us. For the wedding party it was just Bridesmaid Jessica accompanied by Groomsmen Alex. The wedding party had the choice on if they wanted their last names used or not and they all said no.

We went the simple route of introducing our MoH and BM (that's all we had) and then us. When everyone left the church, the four of us went to the Capitol to take photos so everyone (parents included) had a 30 minute head start to the reception. Our cocktail hour was at a reflecting pool on a lower level of the site so as soon as we got to the reception the DJ announced the MoH/BM and us as we walked down the stairs....we used "This will be an everlasting love" for the entrance.

Like everyone else has said, you can do it anyways you want. We are just doing the wedding party and us. I let FH figure out our entrance, so we are doing something more on the fun side. Our wedding party is walking into the Boston Bruins goal song and we are walking into the intro to I'm shipping up to Boston wearing our favorite NFL team jerseys waving NFL team flags. Our wedding party might be carrying flags too.

We had my grandparents (3 people), his dad and son, his mom and stepdad, my parents, 4 groomsman, 2 bridesmaids, and then us. We all used 1 song and it was fine. I wrote out eveyones names and the order in which they were walking out. We didn't have any really hard names.

You can do whatever you wish. My husband and I were the only ones announced. I kind of wish we did every one but by time the reception came I just wanted to sit down. I have a bad back so I was tired of standing.
