Skipping toasts and reception introductions

We are skipping them entirely. We don’t have a wedding party and we are paying for it and it’s my FHs second marriage so we figured we didn’t need to bother with all the unnecessary toasts.

We skipped the introductions for the wedding party at the reception. i felt like it wasn't needed cause i had programs at the ceremony so they would know already who they were

I skipped the intros. I don't really get it anyway and think it's kind of cheesy and dumb - people know who we are, lol. I also just feel super uncomfortable as a BM being introduced like that especially if B&G want us to do a dumb dance or something. None of your guests care who your bridal party is if they dont' know them already, imo.

Yes, we plan to skip these! My FH and I will briefly say hello and thanks for coming and then proceed with dinner. No speeches. And no introductions. I mean if you're at my wedding you know who I am and that I just got married lol.

What exactly are reception introductions? I've never heard of that.

Skipping as well

You can see some on Youtube. Usually a song or several played by the dj as the couple and their attendants are announced, often in the style of Monday Night Football, as they enter the reception. Honestly I have never seen them at a wedding or heard of them prior to WW.

Gosh, I can’t remember the last time I saw introductions at a reception. Are people still doing those?! We will definitely not be doing intros.
As far as toasts, we will likely have a couple. But we want to keep them to a minimum and short & sweet.

Hi Michelle:

We are not doing the intros because as other posters said, the guests don't care about the WP ... and, may I add , the parents,grandparents. The guests only want to see the couple.

We are only doing 1 speech at the reception: the "welcome and thank you" speech by the two of us, we're skipping other speeches/toasts/roasts at the reception ... but we're having an open mic at the rehearsal dinner.

We didn’t do introductions for reception and the only toast was by my husband for us to thank our guests for coming.

Skipping being announced, definitely!
As for toasts, if people in our lives want to give them, they're certainly welcome to, but if they're not comfortable with it, no pressure

My fiancé is a huge wrestling fan so he’s already written out how he wants our wedding party announced, as well as the intro song for us. Yes, cheesy but our guests completely know this about our humor. Plus our DJ happens to be a good friend who will do so great with it. We’re also having the matron of honor and best man give a toast. They’ll keep it short and sweet. We’re not opening it up for others. That can take place at the rehearsal dinner if wanted.

We're skipping reception intros for the wedding party, but FH and I will be introduced.

We have no bridal party, so no long introductions and dont want toasts. We are only planning on being announced so we can walk into the reception to "Enter Sandman" playing, with my crazy fiance wearing his Metallica battle vest!
