Uneven Wedding Party - Grand Entrance

sac542 · August 2013

We will be having an uneven bridal party - 7 groomsmen and 3 bridesmaids. I'm not sure what to do for the grand entrance into the reception since there's no good way to pair everyone up. My options are:
1- skip the grand entrance
2 - just introduce the best man and maid of honor
3 - have the wedding party walk in all together as a group
4 - have everyone walk in individually
5 - have the maid of honor and best man walk in together, then have remaining each remaining bridesmaid "double up" and be escorted by two groomsmen. The remaining two groomsmen could: a) be escorted by our unofficial flower girls (they are going to be carrying a sign during the ceremony, not actually tossing petals) or b) be escorted by their girlfriends who aren't in the wedding party

Does anyone have any advice or opinions? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Lots of good options there, but I would not include the flower girls in any presentation. You could have the three girls all walk in together and then the guys walk in all together. They could be introduced as "MOH Mary Jane Smith, with BM's Susie Someone and Hillary Jones." The guys could be "BM Greg Something and Groomsmen George Whatever, Bill Whatshisface, etc,". Or, you coud just have yourselves introduced. Personally, I like when these necessities are quickly completed.

I had an uneven wedding party (no flower girl or ring bearer) and did a grand entrance. We had the parents introduced and then we had two groomsmen come out together, then my bridesmaid and another two groomsmen, and then my MOH and best man. Like PP said I wouldn't include the flower girls in the introduction.
