the classic reception timeline Photo by Binary Flips Photography
5 p.m. cocktail hour
Cocktail hour is just that, 1 hour. If you plan to take your photos during that time, don’t go past an hour and 15 minutes. You have to keep the momentum going. Be sure your musicians strike up the band with a varied repertoire.
6 p.m. reception begins
The wait staff should now let your guests know it is time to enter the reception room. By now table assignments have been picked up by the guests, but in case there is some confusion, have someone with an alphabetical list and seating plan to assist.
6:10 p.m. 6:20 p.m. welcome toast
Typically the bride’s father welcomes everyone to the wedding reception and thanks them for coming. Some couples choose to do toasts here, but most wait until later in the wedding reception. If you wish to say a blessing over the meal now is the time.
6:30 p.m. dinner is served
Shortly after dinner is served, the best man makes his toast. If the maid of honor is making a toast, she follows. After the main course is served if other family members or members of the bridal party are making toasts, they do so now.
7:30 p.m. the first dance
8:30 p.m. the cake cutting
9:30 p.m. bouquet and/or garter toss
The Master of Ceremonies announces the couple. This will be the first time the bride and groom will dance as husband and wife. After that the bride dances with her Father. The groom and his mother may join them on the floor or choose a song of their own. You can surprise your parents and in-laws by playing their first-dance songs after your own first dance. Announce the songs and their significance, and invite the wedding party to dance, and finally all the guests can join in. The Band should be wrapping up their first set. The caterer should have the cake table prepared with the cake knife and two glasses of champagne or a perfectly paired wine. Now is the time for the Bride and groom to make their toasts. All guests should have a glass of champagne or wine pairing. Although it is not required, it is very nice for the couple to say thank you to everyone, and especially to their parents. Some older guests will leave after cake is served so be sure that you’ve had a chance to visit with them beforehand. If you choose to have a bouquet or garter toss, typically the people who caught them dance together.
10:00 p.m. last dance
The MC should invite everyone to the floor for a last dance together. Choose a fun and upbeat song so that everything ends on a high note.
10:15 p.m. bride and groom depart
Some couples choose to simply leave with their guests, but planning something creative makes your exit much more memorable. Consider giving guests sparklers, candles or bells. Think about arranging a special getaway vehicle; a unique car or boat is sure to wow your guests.
10:30 p.m. after-party
N
The bridal party and then the bride and groom are announced
48 Nuovo Bride
This is a great way to keep the celebration going after the reception. It is best to limit the party to one and a half to two hours. You can estimate that 30-40% of your guests will continue on to the after-party.
