Mixed Gender Party

Alyson, on December 2, 2020 at 11:17 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 14
Hi there! So my fiancé and I are getting married next year. I have a mixed gender party (5 ladies, 1 man) and my fiancé has 5 guys, plus our “officiant” (we are going to the courthouse for our official wedding, he’s just going to say a few words) who is also a guy also join them on the walk up.


I’m trying to figure out how to do our procession... I’m stumped!
If you had a mixed gender party, how did you do it?

    Are you talking about a procession for the courthouse? Or you plan on having a bigger wedding later?


    I'm only asking because courthouse weddings don't generally have a procession. I work at a courthouse and although I've seen bridal parties, that's more for picture purposes.

    Everyone walked separately in the processional, we would have done it the same way if we had one gender per side.

    I had mixed gender party where my bridal party was 4 girls and 1 guy.

    so here's how mine went:

    MOH 1 and groomsman

    MOH 2 and groomsman

    bridesmaid and groomsman

    bridesmaid and bridesman

    groomsman and groomsman

    ideally i would have wanted it to be bridesman and groomsman so that it looked more even in terms of walking up and splitting evenly to their respective standing sides but for really PETTY reasons the groomsman didn't want to walk with the bridesman. the groomsmen were friends already so they were happy walking together and yet not happy walking with the bridesman -.-

    but like PP has mentioned, i've seen people do it where bridesmaids and groomsmen enter in singles one by one.

    Oh okay that sounds more like it lol you could have them all walk separate or just pair them up. I understand that it'll end up being two males together but I don't see a problem with that!

    We had a mixed gender wedding party, but we had one guy on my side and one girl on my husband's side so they walked down the aisle together. My brother-in-law's wife had three guys on her side and my brother-in-law had all guys on his side so they walked in pairs but didn't link arms.

    If you're doing a courthouse wedding then maybe a processional isn't necessary

    I think this is what we will do! One party at a time. Just wanted to hear from others that it works well. Thank you!

    Not sure why my edit didn’t save, but we are getting officially married at a courthouse and then having a ceremonial wedding later. Processional is at the ceremonial. We are counting our officiant since he is just a friend saying a few words at the ceremony as a groomsman as well. My initial wording wasn’t good.

    My wife and I each had a bridesman. Every member of our wedding party walked individually.

    Have everyone enter individually, same as if they were a single gender group

    Have each person walk seperately or maybe make it fun and have them dance down the aisle to make it memorable my best friend had her wedding party an odd number so the last groomsmen walked with the ring bearer

    Hi!! I also had 1 Man of Honor who escorted my little sister (she is disabled and came down aisle in wheelchair) and the remainder of my girls walked down individually. Going out of ceremony my brother/Man of Honor took my other sister immediately to his right to escort her out. I’ve seen many bridesmaids being escorted by two groomsmen as well when numbers are uneven and I think it works well ❤️ Good luck!!
