Ceremony Help!

Does anyone know the order of the processional and everything that has to do
with the ceremony?
I'm not sure how the parents, grandparents should walk in and how people should leave.
What is the correct order to make the ceremony go as smooth as possible?

Oh anyone have a program they can post?
That would be soooo helpful!

Thanks

Re: Ceremony Help!

Is your FH walking down the aisle or meeting you at the altar? That makes a difference. If he's meeting you there though it usually goes:

Groom's grandparents
Bride's grandparents
Groom's parents
Bride's Mother
bridesmaids (with or without groomsmen)
MOH
FG/RB
Bride and father

That's in a very traditional one. Coming back, it's pretty much reverse - bride and groom first, FG/RB follow, MOH/BM, then the bridal party, then the first row, which are your parents and grandparents and then row by row.

The purpose of the recessional that way is the receiving line - you and your parents are there and waiting for the rest of the guests.
