Who Gets Introduced During Grand Entrance?

JadedRaven, on August 30, 2016 at 4:41 PM Posted in Planning 0 20

I can't think of who is normally included in the introductions during the entrance into the reception. Of course the bridal party, but FH and I are not having one.

Are parents or anyone else I'm not thinking of usually included before the bride and groom are formally introduced?

    Usually the parents are, and sometimes the grandparents. I think it's all personal preference though!

    Parents can be included, but it's not required. If you don't have a BP, then I would suggest just having the two of you announced, no need to complicate it with other people, just make it about the two of you Smiley smile

    I'm going to be all over the place with mine! I'm having my brother bring in my Mom even though he's not a GM, and I'm having my sister walk in with my Dad even though she's not a BM (my parents are divorced).

    I just did bridal party and then DH and I. Actually, it never even occurred to me to include parents in that, ooops Smiley smile No one ever said anything or brought it up, so I'm assuming they didn't expect it.

    I don't think there are any strict rules or anything. I'm not even doing my BP because they wouldn't like it. So do it however you like, but just bear in mind your guests won't want to hear 20 announcements, so keep it short and sweet.

    I usually see just the BP and the B and G. I think families would be appropriate to include. We are doing just FH and me.

    It's all personal preference. We are doing just our bridal party (no parents or grandparents)

    Wait I'm a little confused. Does this happen after the ceremony while everyone is sitting eating and B & G enter? I wasn't planing on announcing the parties

    We're not having a BP, so we're just introducing parents. But even that is getting complicated because both my and FH's parents are divorced (and NOT in a nice way). So we're having FMIL enter with FBIL, FFIL enter with his wife, my mother enter with her significant other, and my father enter with my stepmother. Then the kiddos as a group.

    One of my friends is the maid of honor in her sister's wedding and the bride wants the BP to be introduced in the grand entrance but the MOH thinks it's a bit awkward. I say you just make your grand entrance as husband and wife especially since you don't have a BP. I don't think there's a set rule for this Smiley smile

    KNB - typically after the ceremony many couples take photos with the photographer, either alone or with the family or bridal party. The guests have food and drinks and mingle during cocktail hour then the couple is announced (everyone welcome the New Mr and Mrs so and so! Yay!) .

    We included our moms before the bridal party. I think they liked the acknowledgement. :-)

    We will include our parents, well not sure about FILs, we won't force them if they aren't comfortable, but my parents are expecting it. We'll also have our BP, but there's only two members per side, and of course FH and I.

    You couldn't have paid my mother, to participate in something like that. We just had the 6 bridesmaid/groomsman couples, and then hubby and I came in, to a second song.

    Thankfully, most entrances are not grand, in my social circle. I've seen some that have taken forever and are really awkward, usually in an attempt to be funny. In one, the bandleader read all the bridal party bios, that had been in the church program. Borrring....
