My parents are divorced, and here is what we did.
BEFORE Bridesmaids:
Stepsisters of Bride
Sister of Groom (escorted by GM) followed by her husband
Brides grandmother (escorted by my brother) followed by grandfather
MOG escorted by a GM (my DH wishes he had escorted her)
SMOB escorted by my brother
MOB escorted by my brother (he had a lot of duties :) ) followed by her man friend
My mom, her manfriend, my stepmom, my dad, and my grandparents sat in the first pew, step-sisters in second pew (my brother and his wife were in BP)
KellyV -- Thanks, that's really helpful! Did they come in to a specific song, or just after all the other guests were seated and whatever was playing then? After the GMs escorted their VIPs down the aisle, did they just circle back up around the side to stand next to the groom? (My brother is a GM and I may ask him to escort my stepmother down the aisle.)
I'm not sure who will escort my stepfather down the aisle, since my parents will both be walking me down the aisle and will be with me. Maybe he and my mom can walk down together, and then my mom will come back for me? We aren't getting married in a church, and there's a bit of distance between the ceremony site and the "staging area," where my BMs and I will be though...
Are there any other female relatives your stepdad could escort in? An aunt, grandma, etc that you may want to include? If and only if this is plausible with the relationship between your family, could your stepmom walk in with your stepdad (that could be a very sticky situation, I understand).
If not, I don't think it's a big deal to have him walk down by himself. Your mom or even a bridesmaid could walk him down, and then go back (or the bridesmaid could just talk her spot at the front).
So ours was a bit different. I had my FIL escort my mom and grandma down. Then my other grandma and grandfather walked down together. Then my DH escorted his mom down. Then the groomsmen escorted the bridesmaids down then me and my dad.
So perhaps you can get your stepfather to maybe escort a grandmother down?
@Buttons - We let all the guests tickle in, then they walked down to whatever my cousin was playing on the piano. The only people that got special songs were the BP and me/dad. After my brother walked every perosn down the aisle, he circled aorund and went back. At the end, he circled around and went up to the altar to join the rest of the guys.
Id have your mom walk him down the aisle then come back for you

Hi hive! Both of my parents are remarried, and I'm planning on walking down the aisle with my mom and dad. I'm just wondering what the etiquette for my stepfather and stepmother is -- who will escort them to their seats? When does this happen -- after all the other guests are seated, or are they part of the processional (same with my FI's parents -- when and how do they get seated?)? I'm assuming that they'd walk in before my bridesmaids, to a different song? When would our grandparents get seated? I do know that the first few rows of seats are devoted to family. I can't believe that I can't remember these details from any of the weddings I've been to! Thanks hive!
