Ceremony entrance order - HELP PLEASE

Susy, on February 22, 2011 at 4:32 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4

OK I have our second meeting with the minister tonite. We are supposed to have our order and such outlined for him. I am trying to figure out if the grandparents or god parents are brought into the church first. Thanks

    In our wedding any 'special guests' (Close family that were not directly in the bridal party, like sisters, aunts/uncles, and grandparents) were escorted in and seated up front first. Then my mom and brother walked in, followed by the bridal party (MOH/Best Man last), If you have a ring bearer and flower girls they'd be here, the flower girl is right before you so that you are the only one to step on the petals. Then you and your dad/escort. At least that's how we did it...

    Thanks - we are planning same but we have both grandparents and god parents who are going to be escorted in, so we aren't sure which order they should go in. WE have 4 grandmothers to walk in, he has married godparents (so they will walk in together) and I have a god mother. .

    />Catholic entrance is different than Jewish entrance. Here is some ideas to get you thinking.

    God parents and grandparents... I think it is up to you on that one.

    Traditional Wedding Etiquette Seating Option: The general wedding etiquette rule of thumb with grandparents is to seat them as they arrive. This prevents them from having to stand longer than would be comfortable. This also prevents the hassle of figuring out who walks with whom, when and where they sit when they get there.

    Modern Wedding Etiquette Seating Option: Seat your mother's parents first, then your groom's mother's parents, then your father's parents, then the groom's fathers parents. Wedding processionals and seating always favor the bride and then the maternal side of both families.

    Polite and Modern Wedding Etiquette Seating Option: If you really want to have your grandparents walk before the wedding processional, a polite seating option would be to seat the your grandparents first (both sets) then seat both sets of the groom's grandparents. This is a spin off of the modern wedding etiquette option for seating that is very popular.
