This is based on if you're not doing pictures in between ceremony and reception, and that you want to be a part of the cocktail hour. If you're doing pictures, you can grand entrance right before dinner starts. Also, I've always seen First Dances after dinner. I guess that's a personal preference thing. You can also move it up right before dinner (and after your grand entrance). After anniversary dance, and in between all that stuff is just open dancing. You can also rearrange any of it (like you want to do the shoe dance first @ 8:30) Or I've seen it that they do all the stuff right in a row, like father daughter dance, mother son, anniversary, cake cutting, shoe game, bouquet toss, garter toss all @ 7:15 until finished. I personally don't like it; it just seems like a lot
