Bridal party intros- yes or no?

If you don’t want a huge intro, could you have all the GM walk in together and the DJ can introduce them as a group, then the BM together and introduced in a group, then the bride and groom? That way they’re not taking forever introducing people one by one. We only have 3 people on each side in our BP, so we’ll be introducing them each by name (MOH and BM, BM and GM, BM and BM). Then us, bride and groom. I don’t want a huge elaborate intro either.

I have a wedding party of 18 so I've been thinking of the samething. I definitely want to introduce my party and give them the recognition that they deserve for going through this big step in our lives. I think im going have them walk out in pairs and give them a 10 second space in between each set of people. Still have time so we will see.

I will be, but we only have 4 people each. So I think it makes more sense for us.

No, we didn't do any special entrances, not even for us. We recognized the wedding party at the rehearsal dinner the night before, thanking each one individually and giving them their gifts. We also included their names on our programs.

We have the same size wedding party! We are doing intros, I think they are cute. Plus, the guys all get to wear cowboy hats (I did not okay that for the ceremony) so I think they will have fun dancing in with their cowboy hats on. However, we have a lively, outgoing group and so are my fiance & I!

We decided not to. Both of us have been in numerous weddings and agreed that we always felt a bit awkward as a bridesmaid/groomsmen being announced, or told to "dance your way in." Recognizing your bridesmaids and groomsmen doesn't have to be done publicly - you can recognize each of them as individuals at your rehearsal dinner. We are also making just a few brief remarks after our toasts, to thank all our guests for coming, and to recognize our bridal party for being the best.

Please don't do it. LOL
This isn't about a matter of if other people did it or are doing it, lets ask all the BM's that have been in weddings where they did this...

Last year I was a BM in a wedding where they did this. The wedding party had to wait outside way to long for the couple so we could start and then it was so awkward as we walked in. Every single member of their wedding party, we all hated this. It was the most uncomfortable thing ever.

If it is important for your vision, do it. If it is not, please don't do it. I mean, please

We are going to short intros! We will have them come out in pairs and do a little dance move while a song is playing. I have 6 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen. I like the idea of recognizing them at the rehearsal dinner though if you want to save time the day of the wedding.

I had them stand up and be acknowledged, not a big entrance or dances or anything. I find that feels like prom, not a wedding.

We're doing it, as well as having our parents enter the reception. Honestly, I think this is one of the things I'm most excited for, because I love the songs we picked. This is when the party will really begin!

I asked my bridesmaids and they were totally ok either way. If you're not sure or set one way or another ask them.

We are, I just think it's fun personally. But the last wedding I was recently in when we did the intros, literally nobody paid attention. Everyone was talking so loud and no matter how many times everyone was told to quiet down, everyone acted like they couldn't hear and just kept talking. It annoyed me and I felt so bad for the bride and groom.

We are doing bridal party intros...I am trying to figure out songs for it! We are heading in a 80s/early 90s direction...so any suggestions appreciated! Our intro will be to Hall & Oates "You Make My Dreams".

We are doing it! I think it's a great way to spotlight your bridal party one more time, before the party gets going. I have never been in a wedding where I felt uncomfortable doing it. I don't think our crew will do awkward dances or anything other than walk in and be excited. I honestly would find it weird if it was not done, unless it was a smaller more formal wedding or no/little wedding party.

Thanks, everyone! I thought about it more and decided to skip the intros. I talked to a couple of my bridesmaids, and they’re thankful that we’re not doing it. A win-win. 👍🏼

To save time you can have the groomsmen escort the bridesmaids instead of introducing everyone solo. We have a song picked out for the Bridal Party and a song picked out for us. The whole thing should last no more than 10 minutes. Even with a party of your size, I can't imagine it would take more than 10 minutes to introduce everyone.

We're doing intros - I have 7 BMs and 8 GMs. One is a longtime friend of FH so he's walking FH grandmother in, then parents, and then pairs of 2 before we're introduced. It can be a quick thing though. It's just a fun way to start off the reception.
