Wondering how to start a timeline for your event? How much time should you allow for everything? Here's your guide to a perfectly paced party:
5:30 Ceremony Start Time
6:00 - 7:00 HD's/Cocktail Hour
7:00 Bride & Groom introduced
7:05 Bride & Groom first dance
7:15 Dinner announced
7:20 Salad Course
7:30 Salad cleared as toasts begin (typically MOH and Best Man)
7:40 Dinner is served
8:00 Bride & father dance
8:05 Groom & mother dance
8:10 Open dancing
8:45 Cake Cutting
9:15 Optional passed desserts begin
9:20 Bridal Bouquet Toss
9:30 Garter Toss
10:00 Last Dance announced
10:10 Bride & Groom Exit
10:30 Guests have all departed
This is a sample timeline, but should give all you DIYers a basic outline for your reception. The most important thing you should keep in mind that isn't necessarily on your timeline, take a few minutes at some point to make out with your husband (who says you have to wait until you leave......boring!)
