    I would do it after the Cider Toast Pouring and Toasts (not exactly sure what this is, but I'm guessing it's similar to when the dad typically gives the speech post dinner?)

    Yup! Except one of the groomsmen and one of the bridesmaids will be giving speeches instead of my dad. He would have already gotten his chance to speak. He's the officiant. lol

    I would do it after slicing cake! I would make it a “towards the end of the night” event because the more people have had to drink the more likely they are to participate

    The DJ will usually slide it into the dancing part of the reception. It’s a nice way to add a very brief break into all the booty Shakin’! This way your guests can catch their breath!

    Well, here's the rub though. We are having a dry wedding. I'm leaning toward doing it after me and FH cut the cake because although he and I will have our slice, it will be a decent amount of time before everyone else does (they still have to take the cake to the back and cut it) so maybe it will be good while everyone is waiting...

    Not doing a bouquet toss. It just isn't for me! Instead, I'm going to have all the married couples on the dance floor and the DJ will call out a number of years (if you've been married less than 1 year sit down, 5 years, 10 years...etc) longest married couple will get my bouquet. I think it will be a beautiful reminder to me and my husband of how long you can love someone ❤ and it honors our longest married relatives!
