Skipping reception introductions

I've only been to one wedding where they didn't do a grand introduction. It was my sister-in-law's wedding. She had a very low key wedding in her backyard. She was actually walking around in her wedding dress prior to the ceremony so everyone knew what her dress would look like and everything. She is also very shy and doesn't like attention bought to her. There also really wasn't a place for them to do a grand entrance and it started pouring shortly after the ceremony ended so we all gathered under the tents she rented. At my brother's wedding, the grand introduction was pretty low key. They said our names as we walked down a set of stairs with music playing in the background. There was no crazy dancing or anything like a lot of people do during grand entrances. But if it isn't something you want to do then don't feel like you have to.

This is one of those that is 100% your choice, since it doesn't affect the guests at all (unlike, say, not having enough food or chairs at the reception or something). I've been to plenty of weddings without an MC and without formal introductions. Everyone there does indeed know who you are.

We won't be skipping the intros. I've never heard of anyone being introduced during the ceremony. I was originally planning on walking in normally for the reception intros but FH was part of wedding where the wedding party danced their way in. He liked it and thought it would be a fun idea. Only because he rarely asks for anything, I thought it only fair to let him have it. You're absolutely right though, it's not mandatory so you're totally fine not doing it. Especially if it's uncomfortable for you.

Oh that part! I misunderstood. I was focused more on the wedding party portion, not the couple. I see what you mean.

It's completely up to you whether you want to skip them or not! Guests are rarely affected by this part of the wedding, so feel free to skip it if you would like!

We are doing intros into the reception. We're both fun-loving people and so is our bridal party, so we like the idea of the pairs being announced and dancing in!

We did a big introduction - but we're actors and we love that stuff.

If you don't like it, *don't do it*.

Since it's not common in your area, no one will blink.

We did the intro only for the bride and groom. i didn't want to wrangle all my bridesmaids and groomsmen in for the grand entrance haha.
