Opinions on my timeline please

So I've been trying to figure out my timeline and I think I might have it but I'd really like to hear opinions on it please Smile

4:00pm Prelude Music Begins
4:15pm Wedding Party Assembles
4:30pm Ceremony Begins
5:30pm Receiving Line (bride and groom only)
6:00pm Reception Begins
6:15pm Grand Entrance
6:30pm Dinner Served
7:30pm First Dance
7:35pm Father/Daughter and Mother/Son Dance
8:00pm Cake Cutting
8:05pm until ??? Dancing and general fun!

We can't get into the venue until 2:00pm (in theory, they may be able to let us in early if we decide we need in early) and we're hoping the decorating can be done the day before (we have to wait and see if there's any other events the day before).  I thought about having first dance and F/D and M/S dances before dinner but wasn't sure if that would make dinner too late?

Re: Opinions on my timeline please

  • When are you taking your pictures? 

    There's no cocktail hour accounted for, so I'm assuming that you are doing ALL of your pictures before the ceremony? 

    That would include your getting ready time with bridesmaids and your Mom, first look with your groom, bridal party pictures, and family pictures. This could take at least an hour if not longer... 

    And who is going to be doing all the decorating from 2pm to 4pm? I really hope you have people to do this for you, because you will need to be getting ready and taking pictures during that time.

    Just a thought.

  • I think it looks great! The only suggestion I have, if you are having a photographer maybe set asside some time for pictures if you aren't doing them before the ceremony. I think well have an hour or so set aside between the ceremony and the reception to do pictures with the entire wedding party and family.
  • Sorry, I should have been a little more specific with my post.  We will be doing pictures (including first look) before the ceremony.  I think the only pictures left for after the ceremony would be aunts and uncles and we didn't think that would take an hour so we opted for no cocktail hour.  We have to finalize with the venue but they said as long as there's no other events the day before we can decorate then since we'll be there (in theory) for the rehearsal but, yes, I will have people to help along with a DOC.

  • I think it looks good! We personally plan on doing the dances before dinner, but we'll have a cocktail hour which will include appetizers and stations. I think since you guys don't have a cocktail hour saving the dances until after dinner is a good idea!
