FI and I had decided that for the reception, we would just to do a bride and groom intro at the beginning, instead of introducing the entire BP. We have both been in many weddings, most of which also only introduced the bride and groom and only a few where the entire BP was introduced. As BP members, we both liked being free after the ceremony to find our dates, enjoy the cocktail hour, and not have to worry about being back to the bridal suite by a certain time for introductions. I also thought it was nice when the focus was just on the happy couple.
However, when I told my mother our plan, she seemed a little upset that she and my father would not be introduced at the reception, since they are the ones hosting. If we have them introduced, then I feel that we have to do an intro for FIs parents, who are recently divorced, and pretty bitter, which could cause issues. My thinking was that both sets of parents would be introduced when they gave their speeches, so we would have the band introduce my parents as the hosts at that time.
So, I wanted to see how all of you did BP reception intros. Did anyone just do the bride and groom intro and no one else? TBH I didn't even think about it offending anyone until my mother said something, so I just wanted to get some opinions! TIA!
