How are you being introduced at the reception?

Sparkles, on July 7, 2015 at 12:08 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 15

Who is being announced at your reception? And how? Bridesmaid Molly & Groomsman Alex? Or Molly and Alex?

How about you and FH/FW? The new Mr. & Mrs. Doe? It feels weird to be referred to as Mrs. Doe which is why I think I'm having so much trouble with this!

    Undecided.

    FH is more inclined towards Mr & Mrs Surname (he's taking my surname so if he wants to go this route, I'll go with what he wants)

    Personally I'm leaning towards "the happy couple".

    One of the GMs really doesn't like attention/gets very anxious in social situations so we'll probably not be introducing the WP.

    Just the bridal party and us. First Name Last Name & First Name Last Name for the BP, and (although this is actually the first time I've thought about it) probably "The New Mr. & Mrs. Cueva" for us!

    We're doing the same as @LizzyS. I went to a wedding where they introduced the newlyweds as "The Newlyweds" and it was a little weird. Just off feeling... Like.... Why didn't they introduce them as "The New Mr. And Mrs. X".... Did the DJ not remember their last name?

    I honestly hadn't thought about this detail, but I would be inclined to go with LizzS and go with first and last name for BP, and the new mr. & mrs. so and so for us.

    I don't think we will be announcing the bridal party, just Mr. and Mrs. Banks Smiley smile

    FH is a huge sports guy so we're having the bridal party introduced like a starting lineup. The BP will probably be just their first names and then we will be mr & mrs. pyron.

    Though the BM is his dad and my sister is MOH so that one might be a little weird. still trying to figure it out.

    We're doing first names and last names, but most of our BP is walking with their SO (married) anyway. We'll do Mrs. So and so escorted by Mr. So and so. For us, we'll be introduced "for the first time ever" as the new Mr. and Mrs. Our DJ says it the same way for every wedding.

    Our dj announced first and last names, and had a little fun with the bridal party. For us, the week before he called DH and I individually and did a phone interview with each of us, where we told him about the other and what we loved to "introduce" to our guests. He then spliced the interviews together and played that (about 2 minutes or so) before blending our entrance song together and were then announced by our first names and DH's last names. It was pretty awesome and we got a lot of compliments and people telling us how neat it was.

    FH and I were actually talking about this the other day (he's started asking his groomsmen to be a part of the wedding, so this was his next etiquette question about the wedding - not to mention that we discussed it with our newly-booked DJ). We're leaning toward first and last name for the BP and Mr. and Mrs. ____________ for the two of us.

    Our BM and GM will be introduced by their first and last names- I think it's redundant to say "bridesmaid Sally" because everyone knows she's a bridesmaid, that's why she's being introduced lol. I am going with the traditional "Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan lastname" for our introduction.

    I think MIL was first, then my parents, then MOH and best man, MOH and groomsman, BMs and groomsmen, then us (as the new Mr. and Mrs. HisLastName. All we introduced by first/last name and I gave the DJ phonetic pronunciations for all of them and we went over them so he said them right (none were very difficult but people pronounce things really strangely sometimes...)

    The bridal party will be introduced just first name and last name. I think the MOH and BM get their titles, but I'm not 100% sure. FH and I will be introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Patrick and Rebecca Lastname. I don't like the idea of being introduced as "Mrs. Patrick Lastname" so I wanted my name in there too.

    ETA: Both of our parents will be introduced too.

    Our BP isn't being announced in, they will all ready be in the room to save them the 'awkwardness'. We will be announced as Mr. & Mrs. Haines.
