Outdoor Ceremony Exit

Traditionally they announce you husband and wife when you enter for the reception. However, you can do it at the end. Whoever is doing the announcing can tell everyone to please line up to send off the happy couple. Also make sure your wedding party or family members know what you want to happen and they can assist people with any confusion.

Typically what I've seen and what I will be doing is we do our kiss, they say something along the lines of the new mr. and mrs. whatever. We walk out (we have a place we are going to wait/hide) and then the bridesmaids and groomsmen will exit as well. The officiant will ask the immeadate family to stick around for pictures but ask everyone else to make there way inside for cocktails. Then we come back out as well as the bridal party for pictures.

The grand exit where your guest line up is when you're leaving the reception. Our ceremony and reception were at the same location. When we exited the ceremony our guest just stayed at their seats. We went to a separate area while everyone cleared out for us to come back and take pictures.

View Quoted Comment Yea I know some couples exit the reception, some exit the ceremony church or venue, but we are doing the ceremony exit as our grand exit. I’m just stuck as to how to coordinate it.

We will be doing this as well.

I think we may do the thing where you to each aisle to dismiss the guests (shake their hands, kisses, etc.) and that way they exit before you. By the time you get to the last aisle, everybody will have been dismissed. You will need your MC, Officiant, or ushers probably to help line people up, but once the first few line up, the rest will follow. If you are having them throw or hold anything, you can put a little insert with that, or at the bottom of the program if you have one.
