Processional

It’s not typical to have friends who aren’t in the wedding party to walk in the processional, so there’s no etiquette or place where they “should” walk, just stick them wherever you think works. I don’t think that there’s any place to put them that wouldn’t seem a little weird and there are probably better ways to honor them, but if this is what you think is best, I would have them walk after the parents and grandparents.

I would have them walk after the family and before the wedding party

Thank you for your response, that was my original thought- for them to go last after parents before wedding party, but then I read something about the bride's mother being last before the WP and it made me question it. Yeah, I'll stick with that order. It's definitely not about to be a typical wedding lol It's actually a surprise so there's not even any expectations. I just want them to walk because they're a big part of the support system, just as the parents, grandparents and siblings are. It's only going to be 50-60 of our closest family and friends and I honestly don't think anyone would find it weird. Hmmm, maybe I'll just give them the option after the surprise is out and see what they wanna do. I appreciate your input!

That's the way I was originally thinking! Thanks so much for your input.

I know some of my bridesmaids were rather shy, but they knew walking during the processional was a requirement so they had time to get used to the idea. As for what order, I would probably have them walk right before your bridal party.
