wedding day schedule

I have never been to a Jewish wedding. For Christian wedding receptions, the first dance usually takes place immediately after introductions. They kind of blend together. I don't know how you would pull that off with the hora.

I think you can do it however you want. We aren't doing first dances till after dinner- but we are doing toasts during dinner.

I think this sounds nice (I'm not jewish)

Intro, first dance, hora, motzi, welcome speech/prayer, meal, toasts during dinner, parent dances, open dancing.

It seems to be up to you. Ask your parents for advice?

There is no right or wrong way to blend these traditions. You can use the tradition of group dancing in Judaism to really help get the reception started off with a lot of energy. This is how we did it:

When my husband and I were introduced into the reception, we started right into the group dancing (the night before, I assigned ten people from my family to get right up on the dance floor, and the rest of the crowd jumped in right away). The hora becomes a part of the group dancing.

Later, during the meal we did the toasts and first dance. At this point, everyone was ready for some slower dancing.

After a bit, we cut the cake, and revved up the dance floor again with modern dance music.

People appreciated the change of pace through the reception, and there was something for everyone.
