does bridal party enter reception the same way they walk down the asile?

Nicole, on February 24, 2014 at 9:38 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 16

So my maid of honor's boyfriend is one of my fiance's groomsmen but not the best man. she would like to enter with him at the reception which i want her to be able to do too since they can pick a song that fits them best which i'm fine with, but is it weird for the MOH and best man to not enter together?

    I have never seen the maid of honor not walk in with the best man. she can't handle walking in with someone else? it's like 10 seconds

    Walking into the reception, that's perfectly fine.

    They would essentially just trade off, so his bridesmaid would walk with the best man.

    This is what we did at my MOHs wedding. I was a bm, my sons father was best man. We didn't walk in together, but we walked back down the aisle together. She didn't have the reception entrances, though.

    Well yea she can handle it...but were thinking of doing something fun and letting each "couple" have their own entrance and song. she would just be more comfortable doing something funny with him and they can pick out their song together. i just try to put myself in peoples' shoes and if i were them i would want to enter with my boyfriend if possible. thats what i was thinking just put her with her boyfriend then the best man with whoever her boyfriend walked down the aisle with. i dont think anyone will even notice and if they do then they can get over it!

    My MOH and BM won't be walking into the reception together. My sister is my MOH and her two sons are groomsmen so she'll be walking in with them. FH's brother is his BM and his daughter is our FG so the two of them will walk in together. I think if it doesn't bother you, go for it.

    But for the ceremony obviously ill do it all traditionally, made of honor walks down with best man and then the brides maids walk with the other groomsmen and exit that way too. im talking about the reception though. i just want it to be an informal party and everyone to have fun and not be stressed about it and be as comfortable as possible

    I think it could cause some confusion. I am getting married in August and my friend and her fiance are in the wedding party but since he is a bestman and she is a bridesmaid they won't be walking together. Even though I am a BM at her wedding and my fiance is a groomsmen in their wedding in September they aren't wanting us to walk together. It's not a huge deal i don't necessarily understand her reasoning I think it might have been out of spite but I don't see it as being a big deal. It's normally how it goes. It is your wedding though I would just make sure that everyone knows what is supposed to happen and hopefully they won't get confused or anything. Smiley smile

    Oh fro the reception I don't see it as being an issue for her to be with her boyfriend.

    I agree with it being confusing but i think if we go through everything with everyone present before hand it'll be fine. its just a matter of changing around 4 people, i hope as adults we can handle it! lol

    If you choose to do it that way, i would make sure the MC knows to announce the MOH so-and-so escorted by groomsman so-and-so, and then bridesmaid so-and-so escorted by best man so-and-so. or something like that. that way the MOH and best man still get the recognition and people will know who they are

    I don't think it's confusing at all. it's nice that you are trying to make your wedding party as comfortable as possible!

    How many bridesmaids/groomsmen do you have? Having each of them have their own song is a lot and will take up a lot of time.

    We would have done the same thing if we did a bridal party intro into the reception. i don't think it's weird at all and i think it'd be a nice touch to let them get announced however. totally not a big deal at all

    I think the bridal party can be announced at the reception any way you want. I've seen it done both ways. I think just for ease it's whomever you walked up the aisle with. Ours are going to be mixed up when being introduced into the reception.

    We had our BP enter the same way they walked down the aisle but nobody was dating. I completely understand what you and your friend are saying. I think it would be cute to have them enter together to a fun song. I don’t get the big deal with mixing it up, personally.
