Bridal party reception entrance

I have the same question! We aren't doing a look before picture so I am trying to figure out our entrance as well.

Yes! I think that is totally fine, no one will care, and if that means the party is starting sooner, I'm all for it!

Sounds like a great idea!

I've been in 2 weddings and both times only the bride and groom were announced. I think it's totally fine. You could always have someone round up the bridal party members right before you are announced so they can be gathered around where you are entering if you like that idea. No need to announce them, they just stand there or could create like a tunnel type of entrance that you see in some of the exit photos if that makes sense

Yes, that makes sense. Thank you! As a member of the bridal party did you feel like you "missed out" by not being announced?

I have been a part of a bridal party that was and was no announced. I personally like the announcements. Makes the BP feel special. Again, it's up to you and how you want ur day to flow.

We had our dj announce only us. We had asked our bridal party beforehand if they would mind and they didn't care. We went back and forth on it a bit but I had gone to a wedding where there was just bride and groom introductions and I had preferred the simplicity of it.Our wedding party just slipped in after us. It also doesn't matter if you have the formal announcement before or after cocktail hour. We did before because it didn't make a lot of sense to us to mingle and greet everyone and then leave and be formally introduced. However, our ceremony/reception were in the same room due to rain so it was really easy for our dj to do a quick announcement and then have cocktail start immediately. (Since everyone was already gathered in the same room and we didn't have to wait for everyone to wander in from outside)

I actually like this idea and I plan on running it by FH. None of my bridal party are very outgoing and I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

It's fine , no one will notice the BP isn't introduced.

Most of the weddings I've attended have only announced the bride & groom, not the full wedding party. We didn't do a bridal party entrance either!

We are the only ones getting introduced. We have a really small wedding party. Just seemed more logical for us

Worked as a day of planner a few weeks ago, overheard one of the bm's saying that she spent all this money on the wedding and was not even going to be acknowledged

I don't plan on doing a bridal party entrance, just bride and groom. Having been a bridesmaid a few times, the bridal party was announced but I wouldn't have cared if we weren't.

I want to announce my bridal party, but none of them want it so I'll just have the DJ announce us (bride and groom)

As a guest I am usually like "I don't care" when they announce the bridal party

For my brother’s wedding this happened. The wedding party was “excused” from pictures to cocktail hour. When it was time to change rooms from the cocktail hour to the reception area, the bridal party gathered up and we were all announced.
