I made a timeline about 3 months ago and Im going over it again. I had to tweak a few things and im wanting to get closer to finalizing everything.
Ceremony is 2-2:45pm
Reception is 3pm-9 or 9:30 including cocktail hour.
3pm cocktail hour + appetizers
4:15 grand entrance - first dance, 2 speeches, toast, blessing of the food
4:35/4:40 dinner time -greet guests after eating
5:30 cut the cake -
-father daughter dance - Mother son dance
6:00 money dance
Open dance
6:30 vibora del mar dance
-garter toss-bouquet toss
7:30 or 8pm “midnight” snack
9pm or 9:30 end
So first question: is 9:30 too long? Not that 30min makes much of a difference but a lot of ppl in the family would like to dance and I wanted to be able to dance all night long lol.
Should the vibora dance be later in the night? Lol should I wait until ppl are more drunk? How far into the reception does this dance usually take place? I wanted to do the dance sooner than later because I want to change into my reception outfit after the bouquet toss.
Should we cut the cake & then do father/daughter, mother/son dances or do those dances first then cut the cake? I figured serve cake, let them eat while they watch us dance and then money dance & open dance for everyone.
Lastly im providing a midnight snack of pizzas since we are having dinner a little early. Should the pizzas come at 7:30 or 8pm if dinner is served roughly around 4:30/4:45.
Am i missing anything? Let me know if anything sticks out. I wanted to get most of the reception stuff out of the way early so we have time to dance.
