Hi everyone I am toying with the idea of not doing a bridal party entrance except for me and my groom.

Sorry about my spelling. Absolutly changed to Absolutely

    We didn't do one.  I had never heard of it until I came on TK.  Only we were announced.

    I've seen some now and honestly, as a guest, they do nothing for me and if I'm in the WP, I sure don't want to do it.

    We did an announcement but I made sure everybody was with their SO even if they were not in the WP (most 'matched up' except I had my bro, who was a GM, escorting my g-ma; cousin, an usher, escorting my MOH; and FIL escorting our nephew/his g-son). 

    I voted "it's up to you" because I don't think it makes that big of a difference.  You know your WP better than us.  I would consider if they are a shy type and have SO's.

    Our reception is super short only 1-1/2 hours so I think it will take up too much valuable time. I think I'm going to X it!

    Totally up to you. It's not necessary but it's kinda fun. I've seen it at I think every wedding I've been to. Apparently we do weird things around here (dollar dances and cash bars are pretty common around here too, haha). But anyways, like PPs said, you know your bridal party best and if they'd feel comfortable doing it.

    It's usually NOT done at weddings I've been to. Not necessary, and not missed.

    Although it is up to you, I voted "No, Absolutly not necessary," because it isn't really necessary.

    It IS up to you, but it's not necessary. Personally, I find them pretty corny. I like it when they just announce the bride and groom. That's who all the guests are truly there for, after all. I would nix it, especially if you're trying to conserve time.

    We didn't have one, and we weren't announced formally until our first dance a few hours later.

    All the weddings ive been to growing up had them and so did my FI's friends wedding we went to a few months ago, i just assumed it was the norm and that I would do it till I started on these boards. Ive started thinking about it and i think I would much prefer my wedding to not have one. I voted no but its totally up to you. If you are looking to save time then I wouldnt do it although it usually doesnt take very long.

    I've never been to a wedding that didn't have one but I still don't think it's necessary. It's completely up to you and I"m sure no one would miss it.

    I have never been to a wedding that didn't have one, but I like the idea of my FI and I being the only ones announced.

    We are planning on doing one.  I think they are fun, and as a guest, I always enjoyed them.  But its really up to you.
