It’s for the beginning of the reception. The guests are all seated and the wedding party is introduced, followed by the introduction of the bride and groom. I reckon it’s a honestly new thing… just a way for the wedding party to get special recognition. Lots of couples question the DJ/band to play a song for this entrance and the DJ/band introduces the people during the song. It’s usually all pretty quick.. less than a minute.
ETA: In all the cases that I’ve seen, this does not replace the recieving line or the bride and groom visiting their guests table to table at the reception. It’s just a fun way to give the bridal party recognition. We used our wedding party entrance song to set the tone for the reception. We had a gorgeous, elegant, dignified ceremony, but we had the bridal party enter the reception to a fun, upbeat song… we wanted it to signify that the reception is for kicking back and having fun!
They are usually referring to when the bride and groom and their attendants are announced into the reception.
At the reception, after the wedding ceremony & picture taking, the wedding party joins the rest of the guests. Some couples choose to have the wedding arty announced by the DJ/Emcee.
Example: “Ladies & Gentlemen, Mid of Honor Jane Doe & Best Man John Smith”
This all leads up to the Bride & Groom being announced.
Some couples choose to have music for them, whether it’s an inside joke or just a fun song for them to dance to. It can often set the tone for the wedding and reflect formality (or lack thereof).
Unfortunately yes, the receiving line has been eliminated and replaced with those annoying catwalks from a BM and GM pair. They come in (some of them doing goofy moves), the DJ announce the person and a small bit about them and then they get seated or standing awaiting for the grand entrance of the bride and groom. Those are the new trends, I particulary dislike it, but to each its own.
Excellent luck
The recieving line has not necessarily been eliminated. I am having both. My recieving line will greet my guests outside the sanctuary in the narthex after the ceremony. And I will have a grand entrance at the reception when my husband and I are presented as husband and wife for the first time. There is nothing rude about celebrating your first party as man and wife if you have a recieving line as well.
Excellent luck!
The receiving line is most often done at the church, just after the actual wedding. I would have thought you, Kill, of all people would know this. You so often preach about the proper way to do things!
At the reception, the bride, groom, and party generally are off in another area to take pictures (still open for guests to view if they so desire) while guests delight in the reception room which generally has a bar and plenty of hors d’oeuvres while they mingle and find their tables. After the pictures are complete, the bridal party are announced and the new Mrs and Mr Newlyweds are introduced to everybody.
In most cases the guests have cocktail hour at the reception venue while the wedding party is still getting pictures or whatever and that is why the wedding party would come in later. Then when they come in some people will have a song play when they come through the doors and are introduced as Mr and Mrs ______.
I reckon it is a matter of opinion or culture whether they have a receiving line. I have been to weddings with either and I didn’t feel unwelcomed with the one without. As long as at some point in the night the couple comes and talks to everyone.
even if you have a receiving line, the wedding party is still formally introduced by the DJ when they enter the reception before dinner. one doesn’t have anything to do with the other. if the bride and groom don’t do a receiving line, they just have to work the room after dinner and greet each guest at their table. but usually after the ceremony the wedding party goes off for photos and the guests go to the reception hall for a cocktail hour, and then when the wedding party is ready the DJ will play some song the bride and groom picked and introduce all the groomsmen and bridesmaids in pairs, and then lastly the bride and groom as mr and mrs jones and everyone cheers. then the DJ goes to quieter music and dinner is served.
I’ve been to over 30 or 40 weddings and every one there was a receiving line after the ceremony at the church and then at the reception the bride, groom and wedding party are secluded until after the cocktail hour and are then introduced to everyone. They play music as they are introduced and come in to applause.
Really with you on this one. And I’ve never seen it done at a wedding so far. Only the bride and groom should have a grand entrance to the reception, and the wedding party should already be there keeping the guests pleased in the coupe’s absence.
