I'm confused about the wedding walk-in

LuvCG

I know that parents are part of the reception walk-in but are grandparents?  I can't remember if I've seen this at weddings before or not.

In my family grandparents are normally in the procession.. But it's really up to you, there are no hard fast rules on the subject.

If you mean the ceremony processional, the grandparents, then parents are seated.  Sometimes this is during a prelude.  Then when the MOB is seated last, it's the cue for the WP processional to start.

If you mean the receiving line, then as a minimum, it would be the couple, and the parents.  I don't care for it when the whole family or WP is in the receiving line.

If you mean the entrance into the reception, I've only seen it where the WP and couple are introduced.  Usually the parents are already mingling by that point and acting as official or honorary hosts of the event.

I would not include grandparents in any of those events, unless they would be offended not to be included.  As grandparents are usually elderly and might have mobility problems.

At all of the weddings I've been to, the parents do the entrance into the reception hall too, and the only times that grandparents do not is if there are no grandparents.  I would include them, but why don't you talk to your grandparents and see if they want to be?  My guess is that they'd be honoured.

In our circle, parents are introduced into the reception, but I've never seen grandparents introduced.

If it's for the ceremony, it depends on the wedding. I've seen ceremonies where the grandparents get seated before the MOG and MOB, but I've also seen just the moms getting seated before the BP enters.

At my wedding, we didn't do a special "seating" for the grandparents, because DH's were not able to make it, and on my side both my parents and grandparents are divorced and remarried (And one of my great-grandmothers is still alive), and if we did seating for everybody that was there the ceremony would have been like 10 minutes longer than necessary.

As for the reception, I've never seen grandparents introduced, just parents.

Most the weddings I've been to have included the grandparents and parents in the ceremony entrance, but not the reception. It probably depends on your parents/grandparents, but mine would hate it if I asked to announce them. They'd rather just talk to the guests and let us have our moment.

I've never seen anyone except the wedding party doing the reception entrance.

Grandparents will be the beginning of our processional

i've only seen the bride, groom, WP and parents announced at the reception, and every tiem i've seen it i've thought abotu how silly it is since everyone knows who the bride and groom and the parents are, and no one really cares who the WP is.
