Grand Entrance participants???

Megan, on August 13, 2021 at 3:36 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 5

We just got confirmation from my 2 step sisters that they will be attending our wedding in 64 days.. I am not super close to them but my mom is a " gotta do the right thing" kinda person and asked if they should be a part of the grand entrance... We have a super small wedding party so i was ok with it.. its really no big deal.. As a stepmom myself I know how important it is to feel included.. I told my mom to let me talk to the DJ to see how we can make it work before we tell them just in case we can't make it work.. well, one of my sisters is apparently super excited about the wedding so my mom told her oh btw you guys will be a part of the grand entrance.. SO my question is... how in the world do i make this work? haha.. I have a meeting in the next 2 weeks but I have no patience and need to figure out details like asap... Do they come in by them selfs? with my parents.. with their dad??

our grand entrance includes.

Dad and stepmom Mom and step dad ( I think they are all coming out together)

grooms mom if she even comes

best man and maid of honor ( his best friend and my sister)

groomsman and bridesmaid ( son in law and step daughter)

JR grooms men ( our 2 boys)

flower girl and flower grannie

Me and my hubby..


Where in the world do i fit them in at??

    I admit I don't understand why you would include people not in the wedding party and/or not a close relationship in a "grand entrance", but I also don't really understand announcing anyone but the wedding couple and *maybe* wedding party into the reception because the guests are only interested in the wedding couple's entrance. All of that said, it sounds like you are fine with the suggestion, so I would just add them into your list and have them walk in together after the parents.

    Don't overthink this or worry about the perfect place to fit them in. It will only take a second and most people won't even take notice.

    I wouldn't include them in the grand entrance, especially if they aren't even part of the bridal party. That's like having every uncle, aunt, nephew, cousin, etc be in the grand entrance. I'd politely tell them they're invited but aren't in the grand entrance. Your mom was out of line to even say that to them.

    I think I would have Dad and Stepmom together. Then Mom, Stepdad, and stepsisters together as a family unit. (Then continue with how you had it planned!). While they typically wouldn’t have walked out during intros, not worth hurting any feelings over it now!

    I've only really seen the couple, wedding party and parents in a grand entrance, so I personally wouldn't include them.

    Grand entrance is only for the bridal party.
    I’ve never heard of announcing the parents or siblings, that theoretically could be A LOT of people.
    Just the bridesmaids, groomsmen, and couple get announced.
