    Do you really need an hour for introductions and first dance?  We did that during the meal service so that people weren't just standing there hungry.  Otherwise, I think it looks good.

    I think it looks good. I am assuming you guys are doing a first look therefore don't need any time after the ceremony to do pics.

    First dance before dinner?   We will need to consider that!  Thanks for the idea!

    Thanks Ladies.

    Yes we are doing as much Pictures before the wedding starts as we want to mingle with everyone at cocktail hour.

    Please feel free to use anything I have put on here.

    Looks good. My ceremony is at 3pm as well. We tried to bump our cocktail hour up an hour for it to start at 5 pm but the event coordinator said that there was an event before ours and that the earliest we could start it is 5:30. So our guest will have to wait a little while before they can go inside the reception hall to sit down and enjoy the appetizers. :o/

    I'm most likely going to start getting ready at 10 am too. We're doing dances after the dinner, I know our guests will be hungry so I don't want to torture them by making them wait and watch us dance.

    I didn't reall think about doing the dance after dinner.. but that is a good Idea since we will be having kids there also.. So i think we might move it dinner and dance around..
