Introducing Parents at reception

I've always seen them before, sometimes at their tables, sometimes walking in.

The last wedding I went to few weeks ago only the wedding party got introduced. Parents were already seated in reception area with other guests.

Someone asked me if I was having our MC introduce our parents. My dad would not like this at all. My mom would not mind. FH's parents I do not think would like this. Do they get mentioned at all? Like even though they are seated?

If they don't want it, don't do it.

The wedding I went to just set aside time for parents to do a toast to the couple and thanked guests for coming

Nope! Our parents greeted guests as they arrived, at the ceremony. Everyone knew who they were. I don't think you could offer to pay my mother enough, to participate in a grand entrance.

After 2-dozen weddings, we may have seen parents introduced 4 times. The introductions went on way too long. One of the DJs thought he was a sports announcer and yelled and we were rolling our eyes.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I don't think we will do it. Pretty sure my mom would be the only one who would be okay with it. And I don't want to make them uncomfortable. Plus as @Dreamer said introductions went on too long and I would not want that. Thanks again guys!

We're introducing our parents, both sets. Then the wedding party. Then us. That's how we want to do it. Talk to your DJ and your families. See how they feel about it and what the DJ suggests.

We introduced both sets of parents before the wedding party. But my DJ specifically asked if that was something we wanted to do.

Seems like the DJs ask now instead of just doing it. Many times if the parents are being introduced, they come before the Bridal party. If you have a huge Bridal party, nix the parent introduction and allow a special mention. (Maybe pick a song and allow both sets of parents to have a slow dance with their spouse)

I have not talked to my DJ yet. Only the company and I have a contact person if I have questions. I am told the DJ will contact me in the next couple of months to go over and finalize everything, I have a form to fill out with song and music needs and preferences and do not play list options. Maybe I am thinking too early on this. Either way, I am going to ask both sets of parents and see what they say before making the final decision. The wedding party consists of 6 girls for me and 6 guys for FH. Would that be too big of a party for introductions? I keep changing my mind cause I just don't know what will work and what won't. Thanks again ladies!
