Reception Introductions?

I've been debating about this so I thought I'd get everyone's opinion and see what you are doing/have seen done...

Every wedding I have been to or been in the entire bridal party has been introduced at the beginning of the reception and there is a big production and people walk or dance in awkwardly. I'm just not sure it's my style, and I'm worried about logistics because we are having an uneven bridal party (4 bridesmaids, 6 groomsmen). I think I might rather just have the DJ announce my FI and I, and skip the whole bridal party and the awkward dancing, lol.

I asked my fiance what he thinks, and he thought it might be weird because we have just never seen it done that way. But I'm SURE that lots of people just have the bride and groom announced. SO what do you think? Would my bridal party feel snubbed? What's your preference?

    My DJ totally sucked and even after I gave her a list of names and pronounciations, she took it upon herself to not introduce them. I was peeved; and my bridal party asked me about it. i think some of the girls were a little offended. I mean they did put in a TON of time and the money they spent to help me. I think they desereved some acknowlesgement.

    i would talk to your BP first and see what they say. If they dont care, then do what you'd like

    they can all come in together while the DJ just rattles off the list of names, or skip it and acknowledge them in some other way, like a toast.

    I completely agree with you- I'm pretty much in the same boat.  "Dancing in" really isn't our style either.  We are going to be the only ones introduced and we're going to do something that we saw at a wedding over the summer.  During the evening, the bride and groom each introduced their wedding party (Bride introduced her girls, and the groom, the guys).  They just gave a short introduction and said a few words about how they became such great friends- or a cute story about them growing up together (in the case of brothers or sisters).  It was so meaningful.  GL!

    I like TeamBaby's idea! I think that will be more meaningful than a 2 second introduction! :)
