I have my reception timeline figured out except for the spotlight dances. I know that I want them to happen after dinner/toasts/everything else. So here are the two options I'm thinking of:
Option 1
B&G first dance
Dance floor opens to everyone (while B&G get some quick outside nighttime pictures)
M/S Dance
F/D Dance
Dance floor opens for the rest of the night
Option 2
B&G First Dance
M/S Dance
F/D Dance
Dance floor opens for the rest of the night (B&G go outside for pictures here)
I like option 1 because it breaks up the spotlight dances (after people have been sitting through dinner, etc). But will starting the dancing, then stopping, then starting again kill the party? I want to do everything I can to encourage dancing!
Let me know of any pros/cons I'm not thinking of or if you can suggest any other options that include all dancing after dinner!
