Unsure of when to do first dance or toast at reception

We had about a 45 minute "cocktail hour" before the reception technically started. When we did our grand entrance, was also when we did our first dance. Ours was a buffet but we were served plated first so we could eat first - so we ate and then mingled while other tables ate. After that we did toasts and then parent dances & cake cutting.

We decided to do the toast at the end of Dinner, followed by the first dance, father- daughter dance, mother- son dance.... Then we will kick the reception into play about 30 -45 minutes after we will do cake cutting, removal of the garter, flower/ garter toss.. and then turn up til we can't no more. We figured we wouold do our dances while everyone was eating that way they are already seated and right after we could get the party started

We have a lot of time so this may change, but right now the plan is to do the toasts to open the reception so before dinner. Eat dinner, we will cut the cake while everyone is still sitting. Then first dance then open dance floor.

I know a lot of people wait to do cake later, but I don't want people who maybe don't want to stay the whole time to feel like they are waiting for the cake to be cut. But this may change.

Thank you for the different perspectives. I really appreciate the feedback!

We are doing our first dance immediately after being introduced into the reception. After that we are doing our parents dances then dinner will be served. Toasts will occur a little while into the dinner hour so people have time to eat and talk with their table but then they can also finish eating while toasts are being said before the dancing begins.
