Wedding receptions are supposed to be the fun-filled portion of the big day where everyone joins together to celebrate the happy couple. The guests are all waiting for the bride and groom to arrive, so why not give them something to remember? To set the tone and announce the commencement of festivities, skip the boring entrance and have the wedding party enter the reception venue in one of these fun ways.

How to Enter a Wedding Reception in Style

1. Announce the Starters

This is the perfect way to enter a reception venue for a couple who enjoys sports. Cue up your favorite team’s entry music and put on an entertaining light show with spotlights.

You can then have the master of ceremonies dramatically announce each person as if they’re in the starting lineup of a real game. The party can run down a line handing out high fives and kick off the party with excitement.

2. Choreograph a Dance

You don’t have to be a great dancer to make a splash with a musical entrance. Get the wedding party together to rehearse some fun dance moves and have everyone enter to a song of the couple’s choosing. Another option is to choreograph a flash mob performance. You can even give each member of the party their own time to shine with brief solo performances.

3. Light Up the Sky

If you’re hosting the reception in an outdoor venue, consider shooting off fireworks while announcing the wedding party. Whether it’s a stream of sparklers or a full-on fireworks display, this entrance is sure to capture people’s attention and leave a lasting impression. For even more extravagance, consider syncing the show up with some fun music.

4. Walk the Red Carpet

The reception entrance is the perfect opportunity for any film buffs to finally have their Hollywood red carpet experience. Lay down the iconic carpet and line it with guests taking pictures to make it as authentic as possible. To complete the theme, make a short “movie trailer” and use a projector to announce the party for even more fun.

5. Arrive in a Stylish Ride

Couples looking to make a lasting first impression from the moment of arrival should consider showing up in a unique vehicle. Classic cars have been a popular options for years, but there are many other possibilities, too. For outdoor events, pulling up on horseback or in a horse-drawn carriage is sure to wow your guests.
