Bridal party reception entrance

Taylor , on February 23, 2019 at 3:32 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 12
How did you or how are you planning for your bridal party to enter into the reception? By couples or all of the groomsman separate and then all of the bridesmaids?

Thanks in advance!

    Everyone will walk individually for both the ceremony and reception.

    My bridal party will be going down in pairs including my 2 flower girls and my 2 ring barers. We will be doing oldest to youngest parents/ grandparents first then bridal party then ring barers then flower girls and lastly me.

    All but like 2 of our wedding party would be too shy to do the reception entrance, so we decided to omit it and just have them already be at their tables. But if we were going to do it, I'd actually leave it up to the bridal party of whether they want to enter separately or by couples, since they're the ones who should feel comfortable with the choice!

    Our ceremony and reception are in the same place so that helps us to forgo formal entrances. They make me very uncomfortable as a witness haha. I dread seeing people awkwardly toss the bouquet to their counterpart like a football or play leap frog off each other backs, etc. But mostly I've seen male and female groupings walk into the reception together.

    There is no need for formal entrances. Traditionally only the bride and groom are announced. This grand entrances and separate music stuff is a recent add on from celebrity pauses, applause, and signature music in Show Biz. And monarchs and some lesser royalty have special entrances. So lots of people do have WP do it because they see it on TV. But in real life social situations, people only have a planned formal procession in to a room in the ceremony itself, never at a reception. So follow traditional etiquette, and have them walk on in as they choose, no special thing. ( Unless super formal like a royal ball. But then, the formal name of every guest is announced as they enter the ballroom, too, for the first time that night. Unless you are going that White glove and top hat formal for everything, planned entrances are mot needed for anybody. They come in, they sit down. Any introductions occur in a receiving line or later when introducing themselves to people at the same table, and are informal then.

    My wedding party was announced in just to the same song we used and no special/silly dances or anything. Bridesmaids name escorted by groomsmans name
    My sister walked in the bestman and my bridesmaid walked in with my husbands groomsman. Then they went and sat with their dates/spouses. Then we were announced and went into our first dance.
    We did the same thing 10 years ago for my cousins wedding so it’s not so recent a trend

    Bridesmaids will enter as couples with the groomsman they walked down the aisle with. Think I’ll just have them introduced with background music, no dances.

    All of our wedding party are couples with each other so they will walk together for both ceremony and reception. I haven't asked if they wanted to do a dance going into the reception, but knowing our bunch they will! Lol but I will leave it up to them.

    Our bridal party will be introduced separately with their dated and so will the groomsmen with their dates. After that we will be introduced.
