If you're attending your cocktail hour do you still make a big entrance when the reception starts?? Don't they usually say ' and for the first time as husband and wife ....' but if we already saw everyone at cocktail hour is that silly?

Re: Girls Attending their Cocktail Hour
Every wedding I have been to when brides and grooms attend the cocktail hour still make their big entrance into the hall. I know that's what I plan on doing. I think you should do both. It's your wedding so you Gould enjoy it. Also if you go to he cocktail hour then you can get some greetings over with and then really enjoy the reception still

I will probably only spend the last 15-20 minutes at CH. FH & I want some alone time so we will be in the bridal suite for the first half of CH. Good thing is our hall puts the same food we have for CH in our bridal suite so we aren't missing out! We will still do our big entrance!

I have been to weddings where the bride and the groom were at the cocktail hour and still made a big entrance and it didnt even occur to me that we had seen them before.
We are still debating this. I wanted to go to cocktail hour but I also know if we are in there we are never going to be able to eat. I think we might just stay in the bridal suite and relax and spend time with each other. They bring the food into the bridal suite thats upstairs in the cocktail room and I just am going to maybe as to see it before or see if we can get food before the guests show up.

I want to go to cocktail hour but I also know if I do I won't be able to actually eat or enjoy it. We will be getting the cocktail hour food in the bridal suite. Plus there's a door that opens to a balcony that over looks the room plus closed circuit tv so I can spy on everyone. So I may just stay up there.

We're attending our cocktail hour, but we still plan on making the big entrance into the reception. I'm not sure if there's 'etiquette' on this, but that's what we want to do lol. I've seen lots of brides at their CH, and they're always announced into the reception, it never seemed silly. That's the 'official' start to the party.
Agreed...your grande entrance is kinda the start of the party!

Exactly, we plan on being at our cocktail hour. It is our favorite part of a wedding.

I don't know if FH & I will make it to the CH but I would LOVE to since we are having SOOOOOO much food. We have to take photos so I think we will miss it but either way if we went or not, we would do our grand entrance.
