hello,

is the first dance as a bride and groom suppose to be before the father- daughter dance ?
and which one is the ball opening ?

I have always seen the first dance of bride and groom be the first dance.  The parent/child dances come second.

Bride and Groom is the first dance.  Some do it to kick off the dancing and some do it as soon as they are announced, before dinner.

THIS! We did the bride & groom as the first dance right after dinner which kicked off all of the other dances. This is how our dj recommended it to us and how I have most often seen it. You could also talk to your dj about what he/she suggests unless they leave it strictly up for you to decide. Ours gave us some options/how he typically sees it and we liked that and went with it.
