Are you still having a wedding party with your micro ceremony?

Jesssss, on July 24, 2020 at 8:41 PM Posted in Planning 0 7
Anyone cancelling their big reception altogether and still having bridesmaids and groomsmen at their micro ceremony? (25 people). What are your plans? These are things I never had to consider before Covid and with 5 groomsmen and bridesmaid each, and our parents we’d be left with 10 people seated for at the start of the ceremony. Ehh, not what I had imagined but interested in knowing what others are doing?

    From the start, we selected not to have a bridal party at all. So that was a huge piece not to worry about when we postponed. But, you’re right... with smaller weddings typically your bridal party shouldn’t be out of proportion in comparison to the seated guests. But that’s just a general rule and not the law. 😉 Maybe you could have 4 reserved seats on each side in the first row. Your bridal party can walk down the aisle and straight to their reserved seats. Then only your MOH and the best man walk up and stand next to you and your FH. For the recessional you and your FH walk out first, followed by the MOH/best man and then the seated bridal party files out in pairs back down the aisle.

    We are! We are having only 15 guests and 10 of them are the wedding party! They are our best friends and have been waiting for us to get married longer than we have, so they pretty much insisted that they still stand with us on our wedding day. It will look pretty silly to anyone driving by, but I'm really happy we're keeping that part of the ceremony even with our much reduced guest list.
    Our parents/step parents will be the only ones seated during the ceremony.

    We chose not have the bridal party. Just doing parents And sibs and best men, matron of honor and maid of honor will give speeches on zoom! This made the most sense to us safety wise but that’s us. I’ve seen a lot of Covid weddings where bridal party has been there! Just do what makes sense to you. I was in a Covid wedding in March and I felt comfortable going and being there

    We chose not to have a bridal party from the start because it was so many people. like 9 on my side and 6 on his. for our micro wedding we will just have us, our parents and our two boys there. that way we didn't feel like we had to pick and choose people beyond that.

    We have a small wedding party and most of them are our siblings and the others are only coming to the reception next year, but I have a few ideas.
    Everyone can walk in ahead of you, but go directly to their seats.
    Everyone but the best man/maid of honor sits before the ceremony starts.There are no seats. All 25 people stand for the ceremony.

    This is what we are planning too! Doesn’t matter what anyone thinks... as long as each couple is happy with their decision 🤗
