Wedding Ceremony & Reception Music Discussions

What is the order of these dances?

So we have decided to do the father/daughter, mother/son dance together but when are we supposed to do that?
Our first dance is first...right? lol
We have decided that the entrance song will be All you Need Is Love by the Beatles and our first dance will be our song which is Love Song by 311.
So anyone know the order of the dances?
Thanks ladies :)

    Typically it goes first dance, father/daughter, then mother/son.

    I'd second that. First dance, father-daughter and then mother-son

    Either one.  Some like to do the dances right when they walk in since they already have everyone's attention.  Others do them to start the party after dinner.  We're doing the latter, but it's really just personal preference.

    we are walking into Too Hot to Stop by the Bar Kays, at this time we will do our first dance which is Hold me Thrill me Kiss me by Mel carter, we will then eat, cut cake and then do the father daugther and mother son dances.

    We did..

    Entrance: Another One Bites the Dust, Queen
    Immediately followed by our song: Better, Tom Baxter 
    Immediately followed by Bridal Party joining us to: You are the Best Thing, Ray LaMontagne
    then we went our separate ways, about 25mins later I was escorted by my husband to my father for our dance: Always be Your Baby, Natalie Grant
    immediately followed by Mother-son: Time in a Bottle, Jim Croce
    After dinner we did our Sibling dance: My Wish, Rascal Flatts

    HTH
