Timeline First Dance

We did our dances after the speeches which were after dinner and before dessert.

This will be our timeline! I like the idea of the games first so we can loosen up and have afew drinks in us, I think it’ll help our nerves.. hoping anyways 😆

We are doing ours right after we are introduced at the reception before dinner. That way hopefully get some nerves out of the way so I can actually eat something.

I think there's lots of wiggle room for a first dance - it's a lot of preference.

We're doing ours right after dinner, but I've also been to weddings where they have done it before dinner, or even during dessert!

We did ours as soon as we entered. That being said, we didn't have a bridal party entrance, just us and then our first dance right away. We then slated our speeches between the courses and after dessert did our thank you speech and immediately went into Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances. Then the party began!

We are having our first dance immediately after our grand entrance...everyone is already at their seats watching us come and we will already be at the D-Floor...we thought it would flow nicely. Our parents are doing their speeches between/during each course after immediately after their speech we will have a special dance with our parent (me with my dad, my FH with his mom). after dinner/dessert - the party starts!

We are doing it after the grand entrances when people are already seated and not distracted by food.

If you are a worrier like me (LOL) I'd do it right away after our entrance.

I feel like if we were to wait I'd be nervous and not enjoy my dinner!

Worrying aside I can't really think of a better time to do the dance because you will already have everyone's attention and you will already be on the dance floor.

I think we will do ours between dinner and speeches... I thought I'd always go straight into it from the entrance, but I'm not sure now. We would need to push dinner back 15 to 30 mins to have the dances before hand.

Time line is looking good and after your entrance, lead into the first dance. It does help to not skip dessert while everyone is eating.

The DJ had our first dance at 11pm with everyone circling us. I had planned it after our entrance as well.

Personally I was thinking of having our first dance as soon as we walked in to the reception to avoid having to rush to the dance floor once I am stuffed with food and before I get any liquid courage!
