'Grand Entrance'.....? First Dance...when??

Everyone gets introduced usually. They did a little shimmy and walked up to the front.

You can just do your first dance, or dance with a sibling or whatever you want.

We are just doing introduction for us, not the bridal party. The last few weddings we've been to are like that. We are going straight to our first dance after our introduction. If I were you, I'd probably just do the first dance and call it a day. The parent child dances are really more for the parents themselves, it's not as if anyone will miss it if it's not there (imho).

I thought the wedding party does get introduced into the reception. Our DJ had it on the form we were filling out last week... but then again he also has dollar dance as an option to check off on his form so I guess that doesn't mean it's a list of things we are "supposed to do."

Introduced the bridal party and parents, then they introduced us and we had our first dance immediately after while having everyone's attention! As far as other family dances, do you have an kids or siblings you would like to dance with? If not, just do the first dance at the beginning so all the 'formal' items are out of the way

Everyone in the bridal party is introduced, and then the bride and groom. There's no need to do anything more than "Hi we're here!" haha I think anything too elaborate is cheesy. I have always seen the first dance done immediately after the introductions.

Our whole bridal party was introduced before we were, and we came in to the Star Wars theme and had a "light saber duel" that ended in a kiss. I have seen it done where the couple came in and immediately did their first dance, but I have also seen just as frequently the first dance taking place at the close of dinner. Some of my couples have been going straight from being announced to cutting the cake with the dance happening after dinner.

We introduced the whole wedding party at ours then went straight into the dances.

We are skipping the Grand March and just having the two of us introduced. We will give a brief welcome and then have our bridal party hit the buffet first. First dances will be during dessert.

We introduced our entire bridal party because we wanted to make sure they were recognized (they all played important roles in our day also!) We also chose to go directly into our first dance since we were already out on the dance floor after the grand entrance, and everyone had a chance to eat appetizers during cocktail hour, so they weren't starving for dinner quite yet.

We're doing the entire bridal party and then us straight into our first dance

We're going to have our bridal party introduced, and I would do my first dance when we first walk in.... But my farm venue has a gorgeous courtyard we can have our first dance under the stars and when the trees are lit up. We're going to have to wait until after dinner, because it will still be light out around 6 in my area.

We're doing our first dance after we eat... our reason is that after our dance, the dance floor will open and the party will start.
