Attending cocktail hour..do you still get to make a grand entrance??

I was hoping to attend my cocktail hour but my MOH said that if we did then we couldn't make a big entrance to our reception. What do you think?? I still want to have the whole announced entrance into the reception.

Of course you can...I'm doing this, and have seen it done many times by other brides.

who says you can't!? your MOH (no offense) is totally wrong.

i've been to plenty of weddings where the attend the CH.

heck the wedding i was in, in sept. about 10 min. before the end of the CH--we were all escorted to the bridal suite by the maitre d' and told to relax in there (plenty of food and stuff) and then we lined up for the announcements and the bride & groom had their big entrance

you can defintely go to your cocktail hour and then have your entrance. You paid for it!! This is a great time ti mingle with guests especially if you have a big guest list so then you won't have to cut into party time later. I'm going to do this and may even have my receiving line again.

I did both - best thing ever! People were more excited because we got to drink together at the cocktail hour and then our grand ent. was more about the dramatic music we had around us that really bad the place go nuts.

You can do whatever you want.

We walked casually into our CH hand in hand, after having a couple up minutes in the bridal suite to freshen up, relax a few minutes. The CH was underway when we walked in.

Later we did the grand entrance to our reception, what a great feeling.

I guess I'm being redundant to the other replies here, but you can certainly still do this! I did and it didn't feel weird at all, it was a great thing.

You can still make a grand entrance even if you mingle with your guests at your cocktail hr.

I plan on doing the same thing.

Of course you can!!!! I did and every other wedding I've been to and been in where the couple was at CH, they made a grand entrance.

She needs to brush up on her wedding do's and dont's I think.
