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
