Reception Entrance Ideas

Alright so for some reason my mom and I hate when the bridal party dances into the reception. She says just walk in, but I want to do something fun. I don't want to do a choreographed dance it's so overdone and if you don't put 100% into it looks horrible. All I could think of is everyone in the bridal party wears sunglasses and they form a line on both sides then we come in and then we go through to the song Run DMC- It's Tricky (Or who knows maybe a different song, this one just makes me laugh). I think that'd only work if we danced though...Or maybe not I have no idea what to do lol. Ideas please :)

Re: Reception Entrance Ideas

  • Or don't make your BP do any kind of entrance and just have yourself and your H introduced into the reception.
  • That doesn't sound as fun, but oh well we will probably just walk into a  upbeat song playing.
  • I like when people just walk in normally or are introduced from with seats and only the bridal couple walk in to and into. (walk in, not dance in)

    I would just do a regular intro and walk in without dancing. (that is actually what I am doing)
  • My FI wants us to do a "skit".  He's been trying to think of really creative ideas...all of which sound mortifying.  He's really passionate about it though, so hopefully he will come up with something fun. 

    His last idea was that we walk in together, and he just walks ahead of me talking to people (and basically ignoring the fact that we are supposed to be together), so then I am supposed to pretend that I am mad and "catch him" on a fishing pole and reel him back to me.  LOL He's got work to do, but he's on the right path.

    I'd say go for your idea!  I think its fun!  If you can't have fun on your wedding day, well...that's just no fun!

  • Heather that sounds funny and cute. Good luck :) I can't think of anything in particular so I think we aren't going to do anything special. Who knows maybe we will think of something before...I've got 4 months until the big day anyway.
  • I love that song! I am personally not a fan of sunglasses because I think it has been overdone. My bridal party is walking in to "Pour Some Sugar On Me" They are all required to walk in and do some sort of a dance or shimmy. I think choreographed dances are tacky because it takes away from the inviduality of each person. I hope this helps!
  • You could always have you and your H walk in from different doors while the introduction to your first dance song is playing, and meet in the middle of the dance floor and instantly start your dance without missing a beat... ?

    That way, you get your walk, AND your first dance back-to-back..?

    Just an idea. :)

  • Wow...I REALLY like the above idea. A lot!
  • I've been to weddings where each "couple" of the bridal party does their own entrance - some people dance, some people just wave like royalty etc...The best I've seen (and okay maybe I'm a smidge biased) was when my fiance and his cousin took a few steps, struck a pose, took a few more steps in, struck a different pose and so on until they got to their seats.  It was amusing but not over the top and actually quite unexpected because they just walked in normally at first.
  • Princesscastillo3 that's a really great idea :) thank you! I think I'm really going to consider that.

    nguiles- love that song! I have it on my list for the DJ to play. Makes me want to party lol!
