    Hey ladies!!

    I know there have been other posts regarding the day of schedules..they are how I created my timeline...but I really want feedback on mine. I'm struggling with the idea of doing a first look. I want my guests to have time to actually enjoy the party and dance, and I can have an extra hour of dancing if I did the first look. 

    First Look: 

    12:00pm – Hair Appointment

    3:00pm – Pre Ceremony Pictures and First look at Porterdale

    4:30pm- End of Pictures – Guests arriving

    5:00pm – Ceremony Begins

    5:40pm - Cocktail Hour Begins 

    5:45pm – Introduction of wedding party and couple

    6:00pm- FOB Speech and Buffett Opens

    6:25pm – Best Man Speech (2-5 minutes)

    6:30pm – Maid of Honor Speech (2-5 minutes)

    7:05pm – Cake Cutting (Song)

    7:30pm – First Dance (Truly Amazing – POD)

    7:40pm – Father Daughter Dance (I loved her First – Heartland)

                   Mother Son Dance (The Perfect Fan –Backstreet Boys)

    7:45-10:00pm – DANCING! DANCING! DANCING!

    10:00pm – Bouquet Toss (Single Ladies – Beyonce)

    10:10pm – Garter Toss (Sexy Back – Justin Timberlake)

    10:15-11:00pm DANCING! DANCING! DANCING!

     

    Or No First Look: 

    1:00pm – Hair Appointment

    3:00pm- Make Up Completed

    3:30pm – Pre Ceremony Pictures (Bride)

    4:00 – Pre Ceremony Pictures (Groom)

    4:30pm- End of Pictures – Guests arriving

    5:00pm – Ceremony Begins

    5:45pm - Cocktail Hour Begins *Ashley and Clarke taking pictures*

    6:15pm – Introduction of wedding party

    6:30pm – Entrance/Introduction of Couple (Beautiful Day - U2)

    6:45pm- FOB Speech and Buffett Opens

    7:15pm – Best Man Speech (2-5 minutes)

    7:40pm – Maid of Honor Speech (2-5 minutes)

    8:15pm – Cake Cutting (Song)

    8:35pm – First Dance (Truly Amazing – POD)

    8:40pm – Father Daughter Dance (I loved her First – Heartland)

                   Mother Son Dance (The Perfect Fan –Backstreet Boys)

    8:50-10:0pm DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!

    10:00pm – Bouquet Toss (Single Ladies – Beyonce)

    10:10pm – Garter Toss (Sexy Back – Justin Timberlake)

    10:15-11:00pm DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!

     

     

    Also..how do you ladies suggest doing the dances? I feel like 3 dances back to back may seem awkward..but I don't really want to do our first dance after our entrance because our sweetheart table will be set up on the dancefloor.

     

    All suggesions welcome! Thank you!!!

    We did all three dances in a row, it seemed fairly expected so I think that it is normal to do it that way.

    Yeah, I think that is what we are going to end up doing. I'm just really stressed out about not having enough time for dancing..our venue has apartments around it so the music has to stop at 11.
