Here's where the fun begins, this is the part of your wedding that
is the most flexible and should reflect your personalities,
preferences and even, wedding theme:
1. Cocktails - If
you're going to have a pictorial just before your reception this is
a must.
2. Receiving
Line
3. Entourage
Introduction and Procession
4. Grand
Entrance of the newlyweds
5. Reception
Ceremonies - Best to do this early while everybody's still around.
- Cake
Cutting
- Toast
- Dove
release
- First Dance
6.
Acknowledgement of the Parents & Principal Sponsors
7.
Invocation/Prayer for couple's first meal
8. Picture
Taking - Again it's better to do this just before the meal to be
sure nobody skips out of the picture. Also to keep the congestion
off the buffet tables, its best to call out a table number to go to
the couple's table for the picture taking, then and only after this
will that table be able to line up in the buffet.
9. Wedding
Banquet - This is the proper time for the playing of the Audio
Visual Presentation or any special numbers.
10. The
bouquet and garter toss - be creative in planning this
11. Special
Messages from parents/godparents
12.
Distribution of souvenirs
13. Closing
remarks - Couple's thanks and messages to each other, each other's
parents/family
14. Party time
- If you hired a band or a DJ this is the time you can let your hair
loose.
