As your wedding day approaches and you finalize all of your big decisions, it’s time to focus on one of our favorite parts of wedding planning:
Creating a playlist of music for the wedding day!
Creating a list of high-energy songs to get everybody on the dance floor at your wedding reception is easy. (And if you can’t do it, your band or wedding DJ will.)
But some couples find it slightly trickier to narrow down the songs to play during special moments of the big day …
You’ll want to choose a processional song for your walk down the aisle at your wedding ceremony, a great first dance song, a mother-son dance, and a father-daughter dance (the ones that always make us cry happy tears).
But another big moment needs a special song (or songs) …
We’re talking about the moment when you make your grand entrance into your wedding reception.
Not sure which bridesmaid entrance song or groomsmen entrance song to choose?
Here are 51 of our favorite wedding entrance songs for bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents, and the little ones in the wedding party:
Bridal Party Entrance Songs (if the Whole Group Enters Together

Some couples choose one entrance song for their entire bridal party. Others choose an entrance song for their parents, special songs for their maid of honor and best man, and different tunes for their flower girls and ring bearers.
If you’re having a small wedding party and want everyone to enter to a different song, your DJ will most likely have to cut each song off midway through.
If you have a huge wedding party, making announcements for every member might require you to choose more than one song (and cut into dinner time!).
To avoid both scenarios, consider having your wedding party enter the reception as one big group.
Here are some classic tunes that are perfect if your entire wedding party makes their grand entrance at the same time:

No matter how spectacular your wedding ceremony site or how yummy the hors d’oeuvres at your cocktail hour, most guests look forward to two things:
Eating an incredible dinner and dancing the night away at your reception!
And you can get the party started by choosing a sweet song or a full-on dance jam to kick off the reception.

Think of your wedding party as an entire team of hypemen. When your bridesmaids, groomsmen, and besties enter the reception, you officially start the party!
Whether your guys show off their best dance moves or enter with funny choreography, this moment of your wedding will be memorable.
Here are some of the best wedding party entrance songs for groomsmen:
When picking a groomsmen entrance song, the only rule is to choose a song you love. Whether that’s a brand new tune, an 80’s classic, or something silly like “Eye of the Tiger” or “I’m Too Sexy,” go for it.

The parents of the newlyweds usually play a big role in a wedding celebration. Most couples have them make a big entrance into the reception along with the wedding party.
Any of the entrance songs listed above would make great entrance songs for the parents of the bride or groom. That’s especially true for young, hip parents who still feel like they’re in their twenties!
But these classics are always a hit:
Entrance Songs for Flower Girls and Ring Bearers

After the bride and groom, the littlest members of a wedding party often get the most attention. If their parents are also in the wedding party, flower girls and ring bearers sometimes enter the reception with their parents.
But they can also enter on their own to kid-appropriate and wedding-appropriate tunes:
Whether you love the rock vibe of Guns n’ Roses, the raps and rhymes of hip-hop legends, or the sweet pop melodies of Taylor Swift, your wedding reception entrance songs can be any song from any artist in any genre.
The music you play at your wedding is a personal choice. You and your beloved should always be the ones to make the final call on the songs that play during special moments of the big day.
Want your bridesmaids to enter the party to a classic girls' anthem? Want your groomsmen to show off some moves with a club jam to get everyone up and dancing?
With wedding party entrance songs, there’s no right or wrong choice!
Your wedding day is all about you, so pick music that means something to you, no matter how classic or unconventional.
