Our cocktail hour starts at 5, WP should be arriving at the venue by 5:30 (maybe 5:45). I want the DJ to have everyone seated by 5:45 so we can go right into the grand entrance and first dance, then dinner will be served.
I kind of want to get the 1st dance out of the way so the flow of the party won't be interrupted once the dancing starts.
Has anyone done this? Does it work out OK or does it feel awkward?
