i've seen some people put a slideshow with no music during cocktail hour before the wedding party is introduced, as kind of a background thing that people could watch if they were inclined. others (including myself) put the slideshow during dinner, so that everyone's focus was on it. it was more of a "main event" with music and everything. i think it depends on how much you want people to pay attention to it.
oh you could also make it a background event during dinner with no music.
good question! i was thinking the same thing. i have seen it done before the grand entrance, but i dont thinki can do this bc i want to be in the room when the slideshow plays. i am going to do this towards the end of the main meal, right before the first fast dance set.
I've seen many people show the slides before grand entrance. But I feel like that makes the couple waited for too long outside of the room! lolz... I am going to have mine show at the beginning of the dinner since I will have a minimal banquet-party style dinner. We will not have grand entrance nor dance. I guess that'll entertain the guest during dinner. Plus, I want my FI to see the slide! I am trying to do it myself and make some surprise slides for him. 
We did ours at the very end of the cocktail hour. It was only about 5 minutes long anyway, we played it on the large TV in the cocktail hour room, and then people filtered into the reception room while I rushed up to go change my outfit. It was a nice transition from mingling/drinking to the dinner portion of th evening.
I am going to do ours at the rehearsal dinner on a large screen with a projector, etc. At the wedding it will be set up on a laptop for whomever wants to view it.
I'm doing mine at the end of the dinner. I like the idea that everyone, including the bridal party, will be able to see it while sitting down.

Someone suggested to me to put our slideshow before our grand entrance so the people have something to do while they wait for the couple. Is this a good idea? I wanted to know where you have seen/put your slideshow in the schedule. During dinner? After?
