10 day countdown!

Juli, on March 14, 2017 at 10:21 AM Posted in Planning 0 5

I can't believe it. 10 more days until I become a Mrs! Yesterday I made all of our final payments and confirmed times for our vendors. Now it's time to focus on decorating our venue. We will not have programs (since they get tossed anyways) and will be writing our program/timeline (in a sense) on a chalkboard. Now, I have a rough draft and want to know of it makes sense....

4:15pm Ceremony

*4:30pm Cocktail hour

6:00pm Dinner is ready

6:30pm MOG speech

7:30pm Cake cutting/ First Dance

8:00pm Get your groove on!

10:00pm Send-off

*between 4:30-5:30 we are turning over the ceremony area for the reception area and figured it would take about 30 mins for guests to find their tables and settle in,in addition to the hour for turn over.

As always, suggestions and feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Woo, so close!!

    Is the MOG speech between courses? What else is happening between 6:30 and 7:30? An hour and a half seems like a long time for dinner, or is that what your caterer recommends?

    Is there any more speeches: Couple speech, MOH, BM, etc? Are you having a garter and/or bouquet toss? Just asking. I am also finalizing our timeline at the moment.

    Such a cute idea! I'd keep it short and sweet so you don't run out of space on the sign Smiley smile If the toasts are happening during dinner then you could skip including them on the timeline! I'd print out a few examples of the writing in the approximate size and font you're thinking of and see what will fit on the sign.

    And also - get this done!!! I left my mirrored seating chart until 3 days before the wedding and was still working on it right before the rehearsal dinner! Get this done and get ready to enjoy everything Smiley smile

    @WWjo we have a food truck that will be at the venue for an hour and half, it's going to be all you can eat since we ordered a lot of food for our guests and vendors. Between 6:30 and 7:30 we will be making our rounds greeting our guests as they enjoy their meals.

    @SuYa the only speech we will have is from the mother of the groom and perhaps a thank you speech from FH. We do not have a bridal party and will not be doing any tosses at all. We want our reception to be laid back and have a great time.
