Unique Reception Entrance

We are required to clean the venue when we are done so I wouldn't want to clean up confetti. If that isn't a concern for you then go for it. You can also walk in waving your arms in the air instead of dancing.

Nas, are you just walking in with no introduction? I feel like my fh and the rest of our families would think I was crazy if I didn't want to be announced.... but I'm also thinking that since we are doing a first look and getting the majority of pics before the ceremony we will have enough time during cocktail hour to walk around and mingle with our guests. So maybe we could just slip in to cocktail hour without it being a big deal??

A dance is definitely not required for an entrance.

I do like when the DJ announces couples "for the first time".

If you hate the idea of making things a big deal when you walk in, I would probably avoid the confetti tunnel... Just walk in and wave your bouquet around like everyone else lol

I'm with Sos here...both FH and I are shy so we just plan on walking in, smiling, waving, maybe doing a fist pump.

My parents, grandfather, and FFIL will all walk out together. Then my wedding party will come out as a group. My FH and I are then being introduced.

I'm not one for the limelight but FH really wants this.

Not a fan, personally. It's awkward.

We're not having one. Since we're first looking and all, we'll just slide on in to the cocktail hour with everyone else. Having the ceremony and reception at the same venue helps with this, I'll admit. (I AM hoping that my bridal status will allow me to get bumped to the head of the bar line.)

Our officiant will be announcing us as newly married at the end of the ceremony; as I'm keeping my name, there's not even any kind of need for a new Mr and Mrs whatever announcement.

We meeting with our DOC today and will hopefully get more clarification on this but, as it stands now, we will be able to join our cocktail for about 20 minutes. We will either just slip in without an announcement or just have the DJ just announce our presence. No crazy dancing intro and probably no introduction of the bridal party. We're all pretty shy and it's a small group.

We will probably just be introduced by the DJ with no dance...my FI is not the best dancer (when sober lol) so we will save the dancing for later lol

We just held hands and walked in as the DJ introduced us. You don't have to orchestrate some big entrance if you're not comfortable with it.

We just walked in. We raised our hands, I held up my bouquet, but nothing too crazy. Some of our BP members did fun things, but others just walked in too. Don't worry too much about it!

I'm so happy that others don't feel the need for a huge announcement. Similar to most of you ladies, I've been planning on FH and I to just slip in during cocktail hour. We're doing a first look and don't plan on being gone too long from Ceremony to Reception.

Our wedding is in the evening so we are doing sort of a tunnel thing but with sparklers.

We just joined the cocktail hour with everyone, and when the reception started we gave a short thank you/welcome speech rather than be introduced.

I've hated doing the little dance entrance as a bridesmaid so the wedding party will just be announced as they walk into dinner. They can wave their bouquets and dance if they want but I'm not requiring it like some other brides have of me. Yuck! But for our entrance we're riding a boat in (venue is on a lake) driving by the reception and then getting off at the dock next to our table and be introduced as we walk in. We will probably wave from the boat and wave as we walk in and maybe FH will dip me or give me a big smooch before we take our seats at the sweetheart table.

We walked in lead into the reception (and around the room to our table) by a bagpipe.Our BP also surprised us by all having light sabers and then creating a tunnel for us to walk through as we came in.

My brother and sister in law had a college football themed cocktail party. The dj announced us like a starting line up and then the bridal party held a banner for the bride and groom to run through like a pep rally

I'm shy and anxious too so we didn't do an entrance--we left right after the ceremony for a few minutes of alone time, then joined the cocktail hour unannounced. we didn't intro anyone--i just thanked the WP in my brief welcome toast.
