Wait a Minute, are the parents included?

missowens

Sorry for ALL these last minute questions yall...lol  But are the parents included in the wedding party entrance song for the reception?  If so, I might have to switch up the music a little.

Yes they are included. I am using a separate song for my mom and dad, another song for FI's mom, a separate song for bridesmaids and one for the groomsmen and then we have our song. Yea, I might be doing too much:-)

Depends on your circle of friends but our parents are not included. And all the weddings I have been to the parents were not included.

I say you can do what you want.

I didn't think the parents were included. All the weddings I've been too the parents are already seated ! Girl you got a lot with all these songs..what times does your reception start and end ! I won't have time for individual party entrance.

I agree with Carla it just depends but we will include everybody! Even send a shout out to the grandma's who will just already be seated. The parents will have a different song though.

I've been trying to think about the past weddings I've attended and honestly I don't remember if the parents were seated or not.  Part of me wants to say they were seated, hmmmm idk..lol

Edit:  Actually now that I think about it, our parents will be out taking pics with us, so I guess they will enter as part of the bridal party???

<div>Ok, so when I said yes parents are included, I should have said, I am including parents. I think Carla is right, it depends on your circle and what you want to do. I would like to include my parents. </div><div>
</div><div>And to answer your question, we only have five on each side so I don't think it will take that long to do the introductions. And I like the idea of introducing them separately. My reception starts at 6:30pm and ends at 11pm. </div>

For us everybody has their own song, down to the ring bearer and flower girl. They are coming into to Hakuna Mata from The Lion King.

You can do whatever you want with the introductions

O..well yea..that shouldn't be too bad ! What songs are you using ?

M1ssJ

I'm including them but they are walking in to the trio playing Never would've made it before the song changes for the BP

RealHappyGal

I'd love to include the parents If FI's mom is up to it.

Our moms, FI siblings, and my grandmother will come out on one song. The BM/FG/RB & I will come out on another song. Men will come out before the first song starts and stand.
