Hi everyone! I was hoping for a little help with our wedding timeline and how to fill space throughout the reception. Cocktail hour finishes at 5:00pm so hoping to have everyone seated by 5:15. The problem is our first dance is at 8:45 which is the last event of the reception before the partying because we are doing it at twilight with sparklers! So I’m struggling to fill time from 5:30-8:45, with a toast, 4 speeches, 2 mother/father dances and of course 3 course meal- is 3 hours normal for a reception? Does anyone have any suggestions to fill the time? Or do people just like to eat and socialize in between lol
Thank you!!
