Does anyone know if after the bridal party enters and bride and groom do there first dance. Do you do a small introduction of the wedding party or if dinner is ready do you go right into dinner.

    You can definitely do your first dance after you enter! We are not doing our first dance after we enter, just because our preference is to have it later in the evening.

    Usually, the wedding party does their own entrance before the bride and groom and that is how they are introduced.

    We personally didn't do any introductions. I made a program which had everyone's names on it, but that was it. It is totally up to you. If you have an MC generally your party would enter after you guys and the MC would introduce them.. If you're not doing that, it really just depends on personal preference.

    Again as others have said, ultimately its your call.

    Traditionally I think, when everyone has been seated for dinner, the wedding party makes their entrances, followed by the bride & groom and then you can flow right into your first dance if there is room in front of your head table. You two take a seat - then dinner!

    OR (I really like this idea) everyone is seated, the bride and groom make their grand entrance followed by introducing each wedding party member and how they know them (a brief brief introduction provided by the bride and groom vs. the DJ). You might then have your first dance after dinner has finished just before you open up the dance floor to all of your other guests.

    It's definitely up to you! Our wedding party will be introduced right at cocktail hour so guests know who they are. My FH and I are taking 10-15 minutes to ourselves to reflect on the fact we just got married, and then doing our grand entrance with 45 minutes until dinner. We plan to mingle with a majority of our guests then so we don't feel like we have to do it during dinner courses. We're doing our first dance after dinner, but you can totally do it after the grand entrance.

    You two base how you want to enter and get the reception started.

    Generally the wedding party enters and then Bride/Groom leading into first dance and the rest is then decided. Only Introduction is names of wedding party, parents/siblings (optional) and finally yourselves (Bride & Groom)

    It really depends on how you want your wedding to flow and your venue. We are doing our first dance right after entrances because then all the guests are in their seats and not wandering during dinner.

    Really it’s your choice when you do the first dance. I’ve been to weddings where the couple does their first dance right after the wedding party is introduced at the reception and I’ve been to ones where they go from introductions to dinner and so the first dance sometime during meal time or after dinner as a way to open the dance floor
