I am doing something unique for my wedding and I will disclose it all when the time comes but I have a question. How does a general reception lineup go: 
Do they announce it as the brides parents? Grooms parents? Best Man/Maid of Honor then rest of bridal party? I am trying to get the formal introductions. Thanks

    That is usually how it's done..

    But you can change it up -

    We had -

    Bride's grandparents (they walked in)
    Bride's parents
    Groom's parents
    Groomsman #1, bridesmaid and Groomsman #2 (together)
    Matron of honor, flower girl, Groomsman #3 (together)
    Maid of Honor and Best man
    Then we came in.

    I stressed about the order, but my sister advised me this way would look best as to who was walking in together.

    So that's someting to think about. (Who will walk with who)

    Good luck!

    (Also, my DJ said that grandparents are usually acknowledged from their seats)
