Reception Entrance Order

I've always heard it like this:

Mother and father of the bride

Mother and father of groom

Bridesmaids escorted by groomsman

Flower girls escorted by ring bearer

MOH escorted by best man

Bride and groom

I thought the parents of the groom came in first, then the parents of the bride .. but I could be wrong.

Bride's parents; groom's parents; BM & GM; FG & RB; MOH & BM; B&G

For the reception I let everyone find their seats with all of the guests. Only DH and I made an entrance.

The parents and bridal party were announced for their dances so that was enough for them.

Yup always thought it was that way too ... MOB and FOB, MOG and FOG, BMs and GM, FG and RB, MOH and BM, and last but not least Bride and Groom ...

We also had Karlyn Z's order.

For the grand entrance we don't usually announce or include the parents. We do recognize them after everyone is seated.

Wedding Party announcement is usually the same as they enter to the ceremony, with the exception of groom, who enters with you.
