Skipping the bridal party entrance????

I don't think it's weird at all. We skipped the whole entrance and just walked in with everyone else to enjoy dinner.

I don't think it's weird, but I think that your reasoning is. I'm sure that your groomsmen are secure enough in their relationships that they can walk side by side with someone into a reception where, assumingly, their significant others will be waiting for them.

View Quoted Comment 100% agree. I’ve been on both sides of this. I’ve been with FH and walked in with a single groomsman and I’ve been a guest in a wedding where FH was a groomsman and he walked in with a single bridesmaid. Neither of us ever felt uncomfortable.

Actually, for me, it would not be a matter of single/married status of WP. More a matter of not liking the recent trend that everyone make special entrances, like celebrities at photo ops, instead of behaving more normally, with only hosts or guests of honor making any special entrance. They had their place in the procession, very nice. And if BM, MOH, or B or G want to take a minute to name and thank the wedding party, from their seats, fine. But enough with multiple grand entrances. Last wedding I went to, coworker of hubby, people were snickering. Every one of 8 in bridal party stopped briefly coming down the aisle, for special photo pause. 8 made individual entrances to reception, each announced by mc. And spotlight! Then each set of parents. Then bride and groom. Then 5 special spotlight dances, no one else on the floor, 20 minutes including introduction to each couple. 35-40 minutes, after a 20 minute ceremony in the next room of venue, followed by 1¼ hour scheduled cocktail hour that stretched to 1½, for photos. So after all the pauses and stops, and three speeches lasting more than 10 minutes each, people were bored to tears. No single pause in the social activity is bad. But I think that planners need to consider the flow of things. 2 minutes, too many times, and guests have lost interest Better to trim the schedule of some of the presentations in favor of 45 minutes more to talk or dance with the bridal couple, wedding party members, parents and other family, than to sit endlessly watching and applauding like a variety show audience.

It’s definitely okay to skip it Nelly! Go with whatever works best for you and your party!

I think it’s fine either way. This is one of those things that you can do what fits your personality.

We are skipping it. I didn’t want to burden my bridal party with thinking of something cool to do while they entered. And I didn’t want to pick a song. We’ll just get introduced to a song we like, cut our cake and go sit at the head table with everyone else.

I've never been to a wedding where it was skipped but I dont hate the idea. I hate the pressure of coming up with something funny to do while being introduced. I dont think it is weird in the sense some people are in a relationship in the bridal party and some are not, it isnt like you're making them slow dance together. We're doing introductions at ours but I'm not expecting any crazy entrances.

It's fine. i've been to several weddings where there were no grand entrances

Hey Nelly!!

I agree with Neffe, do whatever is best for you, your FS, and your party

How was your wedding?! Do you have any pictures you would be willing to share? We would love to see them!
