When do we do the first dances and cake cutting?

Madison, on June 2, 2019 at 2:04 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 7

My fiance and I were thinking of doing the first dances and cake cutting right after dinner so that people can get cake during the toasts and then after toasts just getting straight to everyone dancing. We went to a wedding that did this and it seemed to have worked out well.

    We did our first dance after good being announced as husband and wife during the reception. We only had 1 toast and that was right before dinner was served. Then dinner was served. Cake cutting was after dinner. It worked for us.

    Wedding 84 days & counting. We are planning to have our 1st dance on our re entrance to the beginning of our reception and the cutting of the cake will be after dinner, so we & our guest can continue to enjoy ourselves

    I think it’s all personal preference. We are getting most everything out of the way after our grand entrance into the reception. We’ll do our first dance, parent dances and toasts then dinner will be served and a little later we will do the cake cutting.

    Having this problem too. But the more I read about it the more it does make sense that it would be after the cake cutting and before the dance floor opens

    Hi Madison! Did you and your FS decide if this is what you will definitely do at your reception?
