Weird to NOT pair boy/girl for reception entrance?

jpreziosi84

We only have 4 attendants: my 2 sisters and his 2 brothers.

We thought it would be cute if my sisters walked into the reception together to the song "Pretty Woman"and then his brothers walking in to a boyish song (like Elivis' Hound Dog or something).

Will people think that's weird? I asked the Best Man and he said:

"Imma let you decide... I'd say guy/girl, but almost more bc then you get maid of honor best man together. I won't be offended either way though. Is there a dance after that maid of honor best man dance?"

So since I AM having a dance where the bridal party will dance together, then it sounds like he wont care too much right?

Thanks!

Ditto on the WP dance.  Usually the WP doesn't like it and your guests will get really bored watching people dance.  If you bestman wants to put the moves on your sister, he can get up the courage and ask her to dance during the night.

Your entrance sounds fine, although you don't have to introduce the wedding party at all.

Please, do NOT have a bridal party dance.

They're not fun to watch or to be in..ever.

The idea of them walking into the reception with different songs though sounds cute.

WP dances are horribly awkward things that no one wants to watch.  You should skip it and your BM can put the moves on your MOH on his own.

I think your idea sounds really cute, aside from that.

Like the entrance.  HATE, hate, hate the WP dance.  Please don't do that.

Your guests will rise up and call you blessed for not doing a WP dance which is boring beyond measure to stand and watch.

If your WP wants to dance together, there will be more than enough opportunities later in the reception.

I like the entrance idea better than the traditional entrance in this case. I think it will be cute to have your sisters together and his brothers together!

I think the entrances are cute, but again, Please no bp dance. They are awkward and are not fun to watch. Also, most people are not good at dancing, especially in front of a crowd. best to keep the dances to just your first dance and parents dances.

Nobody has ever liked the wedding party dance in the history of weddings, ever.  People smile and suck it up to make the bride happy if she insists on doing it.  It sucks for the WP, it sucks for the WP's dates, and it sucks for the guests.  If you really insist on having your WP showcased on the dance floor, call them up with their dates to dance, then open up the floor to general dancing within the first minute of the song.

The entrance sounds fine.  Though I tend to think it's overkill to use multiple songs for the reception entrance, since the entire thing usually takes about a minute and a half.

Wow thanks everyone!

The BM does not want to hit on the MOH lol. They're both pretty much married. I think he thinks it's just traditional.

So I emailed my DJ and told him to SCRATCH the wedding party dance! haha.. I have only been to one wedding so I dont know things like this! THANKS!

Jenn, based on your second post, I'm just going to say this: I like you

Seriously though, cute idea for the entrances, and I'm glad you were open to some pretty unanimous feedback on the dances.
