Walking into your reception is \u200bkind of \u200ba big deal, and you don\u2019t want to wait until the day of to figure out how you\u2019re going to make your grand entrance! These days, moments like this are captured not only for your official wedding video, but also on a few dozen smartphone cameras, and possibly shared across multiple social media platforms, but no pressure!<br \/>\nNo need to scour internet forums or frantically search YouTube videos for ideas.

If it\u2019s not a little awkward you\u2019re not doing it right. You have to fully commit, and remember that everyone is there to celebrate YOU! When the guests see you having fun, it automatically sets the tone for the rest of the reception. Comedy is your friend!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10284 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/completewedo.com\/dallas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2018\/11\/INVOLVE.png\" alt=\"Involve Bridal Party\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/dallas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2018\/11\/INVOLVE.png 800w, https:\/\/completewedo.com\/dallas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2018\/11\/INVOLVE-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/completewedo.com\/dallas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2018\/11\/INVOLVE-768x528.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Get the whole bridal party on board. The bride and groom are the main attractions, but it\u2019s even better when the whole group gets in on the fun to build up the momentum for the new married couple\u2019s big announcement! Encourage them to get creative, and props are always a fun addition. Sunglasses, hats, or switching outfits (pending both parties are on board) can elevate an entrance from bland to grand. Props help take some of the pressure off because there\u2019s something else for people to focus on, and they help spur creativity!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10285 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/completewedo.com\/dallas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2018\/11\/AUTHENTIC.png\" alt=\"Be Authentic \" width=\"800\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/completewedo.com\/dallas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2018\/11\/AUTHENTIC.png 800w, https:\/\/completewedo.com\/dallas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2018\/11\/AUTHENTIC-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/completewedo.com\/dallas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2018\/11\/AUTHENTIC-768x528.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Be yourself!
