Print the Processional Worksheet that is included with this kit. Use the ideas below to generate your processional. Enter names on the Processional/Recessional Worksheet as you go along.

Tip: We have given you some of the more typical ways to set up your processional. Feel free to use your creativity when putting this together. You may have some ideas that are not included here. (We've had bridal party members enter on roller skates, bicycles and motorcycles!) It's fine to improvise--these are just guidelines. You can't do your processional "wrong" no matter how you put it all together.

Grandparents/Parents

Do you want Grandparents as part of the Processional? (If not, then grandparents will be informally seated along with other guests)

Do you want the seating of the mothers as part of the processional? (If not, then mothers should be seated after all other guests and prior to processional. Mother of Groom seated first with Mother of Bride last to be seated.)

Wedding Party and Groom

Groom walks down the aisle, (may escort his mother, or be escorted by both parents, or he may walk with the best man)

OR

Groom alone waits up front with officiant (Groom can walk down the aisle with the officiant, or simply enter with officiant from the side.)

OR

Groom and best man wait up front with officiant. Groomsmen walk down the aisle escorting bridesmaids. Maid of honor walks alone.

OR

All the men wait up front with officiant. Women enter singly.

Flower girl/ring bearer usually enter last-just before the bride

For Bride:

Bride walks alone
