I need to know in what order the wedding party
goes into the
church. We have one flower girl, a ring bearer, two brides maids, one maid of honor,
two groomsmen, the bride and groom, one mother, one father(both divorced) two
grandmothers, one grandfather. Please tell in which order these people need to be
ushered into the church.
I'm going to list the general order for the
entrance of the people that you mentioned. Depending on the arrangement of
your church or event center, you can modify some things as you choose.
1. Grandparents of the groom
2. Grandparents of the bride
3. Parents of the groom
4. Mother of the bride
5. Officiant and groom and best man and groomsmen
if they don't escort the bridesmaids
6. Bridesmaids, beginning with the one who will
stand farthest from you
7. Maid/matron of honor
8. Ring bearer, then flower girl, or they may
enter together
9. Bride and her father
You can either have all of the men enter together
early in the ceremony and have the bridesmaids and maid of honor walk in
alone, or you can have only the officiant and the groom enter, then have the
men escort the ladies.
You don't mention whether the parents who will be
attending are those of the bride or groom or one of each. If the groom's
mother will not be present, then his father would sit in the front pew on the
groom's side. If they are divorced, the mother can sit in the first pew and
the dad in the second pew directly behind her unless they are on good terms
and are willing to sit together. The same would apply if it is your parents
who are divorced.
I hope this helps. Please write again if you have
other questions.
