Skipping the wedding party entrance

My DJ said that he has alot of cilents who skip it but I haven't seen a reception without one so I just didn't know if it would be considered "weird" not to.

I've considered skipping this too. We'll be doing a first look, so the majority of the pictures will be done. We will probably just take a few more with grandparents or something after the ceremony. We want to join the cocktail hour and mingle for the remaining bit of it, so I feel like it's a bit awkward for us to enter, have this big into, then just mingle. Feels like little abrupt to me.

Third to follow PP's. Our coordinator looked at me like I had 3 heads when I said everyone was getting introduced (this was because my mom wanted it this way not because we actually had a preference)....but I haven't been to a wedding where just the bride and groom was introduced, but I would not think it was weird at all to do.

We didn't have anyone get introduced. We just joined cocktail hour with everyone else (we did a first look so didn't have to do any photos) and then DH and I did a welcome toast at the start of the reception rather than do any march.

ETA: Definitely don't think people even noticed that there weren't any introductions.

Most wedding i have been to recently have skipped the full bridal party entrance and just announced the bride and groom. these weddings had bigger bridal parties so i'm guessing that's why they skipped it. i think you can do whatever you want on this one and no one will notice either way.

A few might notice. less will probably care.

No one will probably notice except for the people being skipped (the BP) lol. Thats really the only time they are announced so I think it would be weird not to IMO.

Props?

@Celia yeah I've seen alot of people use props to introduce their wedding party (star wars, green bay packers gear , wisconsin badgers gear, etc.) basically in the middle of the reception is when the grand march occurs. Its supposed to be a "fun" introduction

Totally not; we're planning to do pretty much as #Anne did.

I've only seen full on bring-in-and-announce-the-team announcements a few times and it's been really cheesy each time.

Plus, as I'm not changing my name, we really don't need to have a "here's the new Mr and Mrs" announcement.

We're skipping it! I've been to several weddings where the BP has not been introduced at all. (I'm in NYC)

We're skipping it.

Yeah, no. Just have your parents stand at the table and have your BP introduced into the room. Frankly, having witnessed enough "cute' intros, I think it's kind of overdone. But I've never had a BP not introduced except at total cocktail style weddings or others that are very casual in structure.

Just pick a song, have them announced and go to the first dance.

We are going to skip having the wedding party make a grand entrance. I was trying to figure out a way for FH and I to skip it, but I cannot.

We are doing all of our pictures before and then mingling during cocktail hour. We are going to do our first dance and father/daughter dance right after, and then dinner. The DJ and I could not figure out a way to transition from the cocktail hour to first dance without some sort of entrance.

I'm having a small brunch wedding and will be skipping the WP entrance-- I don't think I want an entrance for FH and I either, if they're at our wedding, I'm pretty sure they know us already.

We skipped it and no one noticed

I think I'll just keep it simple, everything is too cheesy for me.

Skipping- we are being introduced, that's it. They don't want to do it either.

Actually I've only seen full wedding party entrances at a few weddings I've attended - the overwhelming majority have only "announced" the bride and groom, which is essentially just walking through to fun music to get to the dance floor for your first dance!

We did not do wedding party entrances either. No one said anything besides a few bridesmaids who said "thank god" they didn't have to do one

I'm absolutely not having my wedding party announced with a song or whatever. Once we're done with the ceremony & pics, they can go enjoy themselves. I don't think any of them will like the extra attention
