Do the Grandparents walk in the wedding?

I did not have grandparents walk in the processional. However, I did get them personal flowers. We had a small wedding and bridal party. However, even my SIL who had a traditional wedding with a large BP did not have grandparents walk. Do whatever works best for you!

They are not a part of the ceremony, but I am having her introduced because she is a the only living grandparent left on both sides!

This may be a yes and no situation. Many grandparents would be honored to walk in the processional if decided on by the couple. Some choose not to, but instead asked to be seated early due to mobility issues.

If either one of our grandparents were in attendance, I would've gone with their wishes. As for flowers, yes I most certainly would get them something to recognize them as a guest of honor.

It’s your wedding—they can walk if you want them to walk! It’s not traditional—at least not within my cultures (Dutch and Southern US)—but it’s not unheard of, either.

Thank you! I was thinking they wont be walking but I didnt want to insult them if that was how this works. But i will certainly get them corsages then!

We’re having my grandmother walk down the aisle, mainly because she’s the last grandparent left.

My Fiance's mom is walking with her mother (his grandmother) for the ceremony. I dont mind at all, but my grandparents, and his grandparents on his father side may feel some type of way. Or maybe I am over thinking and just need to tell everyone whats up.

View Quoted Comment I’m having a close male relative waking her down. She will light my grandfathers memorial candle, then she will take her seat.

It depends on how traditional to your faith you want to go. We’re having our grandparents walk in ours but it’s not “mandatory.”

I am going to have my grandparents walk in during the ceremony!

We’re having the seating of the mothers and grandmothers. Tho between FH and I, there’s only 1 living grandmother. I feel like it’s something that it up to you and every situation would be different

They are escorted to their seats before the Bridal Party enters.

Yes to Boutonnieres and Corsages.

Congratulations and 🍀‼️

We did not do anything for grandparents. No flowers, they didnt walk down the isle.
I’m not close to any of them, I didn’t want a long processional, saved money, and i didn’t need to give my grandmother a way of making any part of my day about her.
I went to one wedding where it seems like the processional never ended! Lol. That’s the only one I’ve been to where people besides the wedding party proceed in, but it was enough for me to know i didn’t want it.
that being said, I think it’s up to you. If you have a good relationship and want to include them, i think it would lovely and they would LOVE it!!

My fh grandmother will be walking in the preprocessional and be escorted to her seat. It’s totally a matter of preference.

Because of how our family is, we have 5 grandmothers between the 2 of us so we are not walking them down but I am giving them all flowers.

Unfortunately I have lost both my grandfathers. I do have both grandmothers though. I will be having them both ushered in before the bridal party and my mother. My FH has lost all grandparents and father. His mother will not be in attendance.

You could certainly give them the option! Ask them if they would like to walk - that way there is less pressure on you.

We had ours walk, because we're close to all of them. They also all got flowers.

I think Ushering them in before the bridal party is the way to go, we have majority of our grandparents with us, and step grandparents, it'll be alot.
