  1. Usually the 1st hour is cocktail hour - the guests mingle while you have your pictures taken.

    This is how most receptions are usually done:

    -Cocktail Hour

    -Bridal Party Introduction

    -Bride & Groom Introduction

    -Salads Served

    -Toasts by Best Man and Maid of Honor

    -Dinner Served

    -First Dance

    -Father/Daughter dance

    -Mother/Son Dance

    -Bridal Party Dance

    -Invite all guests on dance floor

    -About 1 - 11/2 hours after that you cut the cake

    -Cake Served

    -1/2 hr to 45 min. after cake served bouquet/garter toss

    -Dance some more

    -Last song of the evening...


  2. 5:30 Cocktails

    6:30 Dinner and program - you decide on which toasts you want and by whom

    around 8 - Cake cutting

    around 9 - Dance begins

    around 10:30 - break for bouquet and garter toss, just before having late lunch

    Dancing resumes til your hours for the music, venue, and open bar are up! Usually around midnight.
