First Dance Before or After Dinner

We did ours right after introductions.

Before dinner! Right after we get introduced!

Wow so I'm still undecided even after reading all ya'll's comments!

We are doing ours right after we get introduced. After dinner, we're gonna kick off the dancing with the anniversary dance.

After dinner!!! My bff had hers planned for before and things went awry and the guests ended up waiting two hours+ to eat. They were not overjoyed to see the bride and groom dance before dinner. I agree it would be choppy if it went dance dinner dance. We are going to be introduced, have our food, and then dance the night away!

Ours will be right after introduction

Before dinner. After dinner we are doing parent dances which will then open the dance floor.

We're getting introduced, dinner & cake will be cut so guests aren't hangry lol, and then going into our first dance to open up the dance floor without interruptions. I feel that doing the first dance immediately creates a sort of energy that you have to build up a second time if you sit down to eat afterwards.

Since we are getting married at 7pm will get introduced, eat, then do our dance so our guests can get dancing and drinking. Cheers Everyone. Laura

Due to finances we are only having our photographer for a couple hrs so we are doing formal photos while our guests have cocktail hr and eat apps and then we're joining cocktail hr and doing bouquet toss. Then having everyone take their seat doing first dance, father daughter dance, and cutting the cake. Then we are starting the buffet. All told it will only be about 15 minutes between guests being seated and buffet being opened. Plus since my wedding is on a Sunday and I have a lot of kids coming it gets all the formalities out of the way so people can leave when they need to and not feel they have to stay to see me cut a cake or something so after dinner it is dance eat dessert whenever stay as long as you want and be happy

Plus with it all being one room need a little time to remove appetizer trays and put out rest of buffet food
