Parents formally walking down aisle or just take a seat?

We are having a small wedding with about 35 guests. Most of those 35 are family (our kids, parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts and cousins).
With this size guest count would it make sense to have our parents walk down the aisle formally? It would be my dad and step-mother, my mom and FH’s mom. We don’t really have anyone to escort my mom in so she’d most likely have to walk alone. I’m not sure her thoughts on that and I will talk to her about it. I just want to make sure it would be ok to not have them walk in formally but instead just have them seated.

I am having a wedding of 20 people, and our parents and grandparents are formally walking down the aisle. They will be a part of the processional, but that’s just what we chose to do. But it’s really up to you - either way is fine, I think. 😊

I’m a firm believer in “your wedding, your vision.” How do you picture it?

It is completely up to you. My brother (bride's man) and my husband's brother (groomsman) did double duty and walked with our moms then walked with the groomswoman and one of the bridesmaids. If you want them to be included in the processional, is there a male relative that could walk with your mom?

Whatever you want to do and what they're comfortable with is totally fine!
We had 35 guests, and both my parents walked me down the aisle. We thought about having my grandmothers as part of the processional, but with everything going on we figured they could just find their seats normally.

I think just having them all seated makes the most sense.

Only my brother-in-law but my mom isn’t a big fan of him so I wouldn’t think that would be a good idea. I talked to my mom and she would prefer to just be seated. I’m sure my FH’s mom will feel the same so that’s helpful.

Totally up to you and I agree with how your vision comes together. My mom and MIL actually walked in together as a “mom moment” and lit candles together 🌸

We had 15 guests and because my hubby had no parents left, my parents (divorced) took their seats with guests. Less awkward that way.

It's whatever your vision is. Your wedding, your rules.
