How is everyone doing introductions?

If you don't want to do grand entrances for them, you could just have them introduced once they're seated at the head table (or whichever table you seat them at)! Otherwise, if you do grand entrances for them, I would stick to one song for all, instead of different songs for each.

A different song for each person does seem excessive! Perhaps your girls can all walk out together as a group.

View Quoted Comment This is what I want to do, but don’t think he’ll go for it. I don’t understand the point, everyone knows who they’re there to celebrate and that we just got married why do we need a big introduction.

I know FH wants each of his groomsmen announced, but do the groomsmen want that? I would first find out that information. A lot of people don’t enjoy being announced and find it awkward to be singled out that way. Surely (I would hope anyway!), if the GM don’t feel comfortable, FH will drop the idea. If all the groomsmen agree they do want to be announced, then I would tell FH there needs to be a compromise so that everybody feels comfortable. I think the best solution would be to have all the groomsmen come out at once and be announced as a group to one song (so they can be silly or whatever it is your FH is envisioning here), then have all bridesmaids come out at once and be announced to another song (so they do not feel as awkward being singled out individually or having to “perform”)

We just did one song for everyone - even switching songs between parents, wedding party, and us seemed like too much, considering it only takes a few seconds for someone to walk into a room while their name is being called Also let them know they don't need to do a funny routine or anything - they can just walk in and wave! Our order was: bride's parents, groom's parents, bridesmaid + two groomsmen (we had uneven numbers), maid of honor + best man, and then us.

I was just in a wedding where there were 5 pairs of groomsmen/bridesmaids and each pair got their own song snippet and a "funny" intro. Personally, if I didn't end up with a partner who already had an idea to steal the show for ours, I would've hated it lol.

For our own wedding, we plan on getting groomsmen/bridesmaid photos before the ceremony and big group pictures first afterward so they all can go enjoy cocktail hour with their SOs. Because of that, and the fact that we know everyone would hate it, we're not doing intros. Like someone else mentioned, if the groomsmen are actually interested in them, you could do group intros for groomsmen and bridesmaids. Guys can do something crazy and girls can walk in and wave.

We’re skipping all introductions at the reception. First off, we don’t need them when everything is ag the same venue. Plus they are not done in our families/circles and our attendants are way too introverted to be comfortable in that much spotlight. We are skipping toasts for the same reasons.

Another vote for skipping introductions!

we are doing a few photos with our bridal party then releasing them back to their spouses for the majority of cocktail hour while we go for photos. They'll be seated when all the other guests are, and we will be announced alone.

At my sister's wedding they just said 'the bridesmaids - x and y' and paused for a few moments, and then 'the groomsmen - a and b!' or whatever. I think individual songs for each person would be a bit long and tiresome for your guests, to be honest - and too much chopping and changing. It really is only a couple of seconds.

My FH & I have chosen to do introductions, we’re mostly quiet/shy but we’re surrounded my friends and family. We have let everyone decide what song they would like to be introduced to. We also paired everyone up, so it’s a bit quicker then 1 at a time & they won’t be introduced alone.
