What order are family announced in?

I'm getting married in five days (eek!), and I'm a little lost. For the reception, these are the people that need to be announced:


my parents


his mother


my grandmother


the bridesmaids and groomsmen


the ringbearers


flower girl





What order are they announced in? I know that my fiance--well, then he'll be my husband--are dead last, but what order does everyone else go in?

What order are family announced in?
When I got married, this was the order in my wedding - not saying it's correct - just what our DJ did.





My grandparents first


My parents


His parents


The flower girl and ringbearers togther


The bridesmaid and groomsmen


Then US!!





Congratulations on your big day - enjoy every minute - it goes by sooooo fast :)
Reply:I've been to a few weddings and it seems to me that it's always in this order:





Mother and father of the bride


Mother of the groom


(Grandma's not usually announced, but you should go for it- just lump her in with Mom and Dad)


Maid of Honor and Best Man


Bridesmaids and Groomsmen (in whatever order they walked down the aisle at the ceremony)


Ringbearers and flower girl altogether


Then you guys





That's how I've always seen it. ust remember-it's YOUR wedding- do it however you want, and if you don't know what order they're supposed to go in, chances are nobody else will either. Good luck!
Reply:The ring bearers and flower girl can be cut out...they were in the program at the ceremony and are too young to understnad anything. No need to take up time...then the order should go:





Your grandmother, escorted by...


His mother, escorted by...


Your mother, escorted by your father


Each of the pairs...bridesmaid escorted by groomsman


Maid (Matron) of Honor escorted by Best Man


You and your husband...
Reply:If you parents are paying for the wedding then you would usually have them first


than


his mother


your grandmother


the ring bearers and maybe they could be holding the flower girls hand


then your bridesmaids and groomsmen


you and your husband
