Confused about entrances.

Ok, I have no idea how this goes.

I have 1 Best Man, 6 Groomsmen, 2 MOHs, 5 Bridesmaids, 1 Flower Girl, 2 Ring Bearers, and I plan on walking in with my Mom and Dad.

In what order does everyone walk in to the ceremony? Do his parents walk down the isle as well?

Now for the reception... Does my mom walk in with my stepfather or my dad (he's single)? Do our grandparents walk in as well?

Is it ok for me to dance my father daughter dance with my dad first and then my stepfather?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to imagine it in my head.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Re: Confused about entrances.

think of how you want the bridal party at the ceremony (your MOH is standing closest to you, who's next?) ... you can do this based on height, the amount of tiem you've known that person, or just a random order ...

the bridal party walks to the alter in the reverse order you want them (so MOH is last).

and yes, Grandparents do walk down the aisle too, usually before teh BP.

as for the reception, they all enter the room in the order of closest to you (at the alter) to farthest (so MOH & Best Man are first).

Your ceremony site and / or DJ can probably help with this too

Processional:
Grandparents
His Parents (they do walk down the aisle)
Then...
1 BM/1 GM
1 BM/1 GM
1 BM/1 GM
1 BM/1 GM
1 GM/1BM/1GM
1MOH
1MOH
RB/FG/RB
You and your parents.

For the Grand entrances it's the same order. Except the 1 Best Man will walk in with the 2 MOH's.

Imo, I think your mom and dad should walk in the grand entrance together. Your other option is your mom with your stepdad and then your dad by himself which imo is a bit strange.

As for the dance, that really depends on the relationship you have with your dad and stepdad. You can dance with both to the same song. OR dance the whole father daughter dance with your dad and just dance with your stepdad another time in the night.

how long has your mom been married to your stepfather?

did you ask your dad who he may want to walk in to the reception with?
