I'm having a Destination Wedding at Moon Palace in Cancun. Our reception is outside and we've been told it has to end at 10pm due to noise restrictions. We're kind of bummed but it's an all-inclusive resort so we can easily take the party somewhere else after that.
However, if our grand entrance is scheduled for 6:30, I'm having trouble fitting all the formalities into this tight time frame and still plan for enough time for people to dance and party. Any suggestions? This is our tentative schedule as of now:
6pm-6:30pm: Cocktail & Guestbook signatures
6:30pm: Introductions and First Dance
6:45pm: Parent Dances
7pm: TOASTS from Parents, Best Man & Maid of Honor
7:15pm: Dinner
8pm: Cut the cake
8:15pm: Bouquet/Garter Toss
8:30pm – 10pm: Party!!
Is this cutting everything too short? Obviously I've never prepared a wedding day timeline so any help and/or advice is so very much appreciated.
