Wedding Reception Introductions hand tailored by Move It Music® DJ and Lighting
Your Wedding Reception Introductions do in fact "set the tone” and style of your wedding reception.Consider the following when planning the order of who is to be introduced. Grandparents of the bride almost always go first followed by the grandparents of the groom. In most circumstances, grandparents are acknowledged from their guest tables as opposed to walking into the reception site as it is more comfortable for them. The Parents of the bride are next to being introduced into your wedding reception. (Ask your Move It Music DJ for more information regarding the etiquette for divorced parents.) Parents of the groom then follow the parents of the bride in the introduction order. Music for the Parents entrance should be fun while keeping the parents style in mind.
Next should be the flower girl and the ring bearer. Consider making a sign for these attendants to say “let’s party” or “here comes the wedding party”. It is also appropriate to omit the children from the introductions all together if they are very young. Next, in the order of wedding introductions will be the bridal party. The bridal party entrance can be with a new, different and even more upbeat song. This adds to your guest’s anticipation of the bride and grooms entrance. The order of the bridal party is usually consistent with the order of the processional at the wedding ceremony. It is also suitable to have the bridal party be introduced with their dates if it is a small bridal party. The introduction song for the bridal party should be upbeat and high-energy; however it should not include too many words to avoid competing with your Move It Music professional wedding DJ.
Now for the moment all of your guests have been waiting for, the BRIDE and GROOM! Consider a separate song for your introduction. Your introductions have already set the tone for your wedding reception. What happens after the bride and groom come into their reception will create the style of the wedding reception. For example, if you enter your reception in a fun upbeat manor and go immediately into your first dance, your style is more formal. If you enter your reception in a fun and upbeat manor, have the bridal party and guests join in for a fast dance set, your style lends itself to an informal reception.
Remember, this is your wedding; the only right way to develop introductions is what makes you comfortable. The above is simply a guideline for wedding reception introductions from Move It Music DJ and Lighting.
We hope this helps you in the planning process for your wedding reception. Move It Music DJ’s have great suggestions for all wedding songs to include introduction music, first dance songs, bride and father dances, groom and mother dances, anniversary dances, last dance songs, and many more.
