Should we include a wedding party grand entrance for reception?

We included them. A way to recognize the important people in our life. They walked in in pairs, bridesmaid escorted by groomsman.

We had our bridal party walk in pairs and then parents and then us. We played some really fun songs and each couple did something funny as they came in. It was a great way to get the party started.

Hello Richaelyn:

" I’m trying to decide if we should let the wedding party have a grand entrance as well before us." : If I asked you to answer this immediately, would you answer "Yes" or "No"?

Everytime I attended a reception where the WP has a grand entrance, they walked by pair, but there's no hard and fast rules: If you want the GM together then the BM together, there is no requirement about the order.

I have always seen the bridal party included in the grand entrance. The way we did it was in pairs. We also included our parents so it went parents, bridal party then my husband and I.

As a BM, I really really hate this trend. I feel ridiculous dancing in and having to "hide" in order to be introduced. As a guest, I couldn't care less about who your bridal party is if I don't already know them. My vote is skip it 100% and just have yourselves introduced.

We included our wedding party in the grand entrance. We had them introduced individually before us. I figured since they took the time to stand up with us for our wedding, and spent the money that came along with it, they also deserved a moment in the spotlight.

We won't be having the full wedding party introduced - just FH and I. For us that mostly came down to the logistics of the venue and the fact that quite a few of the wedding party are very introverted and prefer to not be in the spotlight as much as they can avoid it.

View Quoted Comment Yes, a few members in my wedding party is introverted as well. I decided on only having me & my fiancé introduced since it’s our day and having the DJ give them a shoutout for being apart of it while they’re in their seats during dinner.
