    We are doing our first dance right after we are introduced and do our entrance into the reception. We are doing parent dances right after the cake cutting, which we are doing after dinner.

    I'm planning on
    Reception entrance
    Cake cutting
    Toasts
    Food
    Since we eat first,
    We should be done before many others.
    So we will have first dance
    Father/Daughter
    Mother/Son
    Dance party

    Do you have a DJ? If so, I would ask them for their guidance.
    My DJ recommended (something along the lines of the following)
    Parents Entrance

    Bridal Party Entrance

    Bride & Groom Entrance

    Bride & Groom 1st Dance

    Father of Groom toast

    Serve Salads

    Other toasts (the recommendation was not to have too many toast before they serve food)

    Lunch

    father/daughter dance

    Mother/Son dance

    Dancing

    Cake cutting

    More Dancing

    Sorry for the bad photo! Here's mine,I'm sure it will change a little bit here and there all I did was google search wedding day timelines and found one that was close to what our ceremony time was and edited it and changed it around a little.

    4:30-4:50 Ceremony

    4:50-5 Receiving Line

    5-5:55 Cocktail Hour/ Pictures

    5:55 Guests Seated

    6 Wedding Party Entrance

    6:05-6:20 First Dance, Bride/Father Dance, Groom/Mother Dance

    6:20 Dinner

    6:50-7:10 (Toasts from my brother, FH brother, BM, MOH)

    7:10-7:25 Shoe Game

    7:25 Open Dance Floor

    9:00 Dessert

    We're jumping from wedding party introductions to first dance to father-daughter dance. Both are short songs and will be the only dance we do.

    I've seen at weddings they start with the first dance then transition to parent dances before dinner.

    All in all it's your preference, there's no wrong or right way.
