Crafting your best unique reception with Tanya: Introductions

Introductions at your wedding reception can take various forms, including a traditional reception receiving line, parent reception entry, wedding party entry, and the couple’s grand entrance. These introductions set the tone for your reception and formally announce your presence as newlyweds. You have the flexibility to choose which introductions you’d like to include, and these forms will help you make those selections. The form below will allow you to select what you would like to include and what you would prefer to leave out—it’s your choice.

If you’re unable to complete the form in one go, don’t worry. You can save your information and return later to finish the remaining details. The option to save and resume later can be found at the bottom of the form. This way, you can take your time to provide all the necessary information for your wedding reception.

Tradition reception receiving line include or not, no rules

A receiving line is a traditional practice in which the newlyweds and selected family members form a line to greet and welcome guests. This usually happens after the ceremony, although it’s becoming more common to have it at the entrance of the reception venue as guests arrive.

Best parent reception entry include or not, no rules

The “parent reception entry” refers to whether you would like a special introduction for your parents as they enter the reception, typically just before the wedding party.

Wedding party entry: special ways to introduce the entourage.

The “wedding party entry” is a segment of your wedding reception that is dedicated to introducing the members of the wedding party as they make their entrance. This can be done individually or as pairs, and each person can enter in their own unique way or according to a collective theme you’ve chosen. It’s a fun and creative way to kick off the festivities and set the tone for your celebration. Some couples choose unconventional entrances like dance routines, piggyback rides, scooters, quirky masks, or even exchanging attire with another member of the wedding party to make it memorable and entertaining for guests.

Entrance of the wedding party, music, start the party

The choice of having music for the entrance of the wedding party is entirely up to you, and there are no strict rules. However, incorporating music can add to the lively party atmosphere and enhance the enjoyment of the wedding party as they make their entrance. You can select music that reflects the mood and style you want for this moment, whether it’s upbeat and energetic or more traditional and elegant.

Newlyweds entrance: special time introducing the newlyweds; start of reception

Your entrance into the reception as newlyweds can mirror the approach of your wedding party or take on a distinct and personalized approach. Similar to the musical choice, you can opt for continuity or choose something entirely unique.

Alternatively, you might prefer a newlywed grand entrance. In this scenario, the wedding party either enters as a group either behind or in front of you or enters at their leisure during the cocktail hour, and they are seated before your grand entrance. This can create a sense of anticipation and allow you both to have a dramatic and memorable entrance as the newlyweds.
